Scout Official For A Day ♫ 7:55 PM
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense.
So yesterday we, SOFAD candidates, requested for our principal to give us time to review for our SOFAD exam [that we had earlier today.]
She approved, assuring that we were really going to review and not just sit in a room and chat. We tried our best, but in the end, no one really studied that much. Hahahah! :P
We were all in the conference room in school from 10 AM to 5PM. We were all excused from class and were all considered to be on Official Business for almost the whole day. xD
That's a picture of the girls [I don't know what Bianca's doing there though]. The boys were sitting in the corner doing their own business.
At first we were all really reviewing, we had the Girl Scout hand books and a couple of 5 to 10-page handouts that Ma'am Pam gave us to read.
But then we all got bored and started to fall asleep and doodled on the black board and our handouts. Hahahah! :))
Clicky to see my doodles. Hahah! :P
As for today, we were on OB for the whole day coz it was our exams and interview for SOFAD. [Scout Official For A Day] It's where Girl and Boy Scouts have to pass an exam then get to replace City officials for one whole day. :D It seems real fun! Hahah! :P
The exam was far from what I expected though. x_x
We were all concentrated so much in the Girl Scout history, and when we saw our test papers, it was asking for things I've never even heard of before. -.-"
Some parts, I knew. Like the Promise, Law, Vision, Mission, Special Responsibility, Pledge, and parts of a meeting. And the rest, I had to guess. T~T
Then we found out later on that the written exam will only be 10% of everything. :D And the rest were to be taken from the interview and our personalities.
As for the interview afterwards, we were called by school into a room and interviewed individually.
There were ten of us from Science High and unfortunately, I was the last to be interviewed. :|
But it was weird, I wasn't all that nervous. Just that in some parts of the interview, I couldn't find the words I wanted to say. I wonder if that affected my points. O.O I hope not.
Firstly, they asked us to introduce ourselves, then asked what position we would like to have in SOFAD and what we would do if we did get that position.
Shan took the longest, since she was the first. Mine was the shortest, I don't know if it's because I was last and they were already bored, or because they lost interest in me. :| Wah! I feel like they did. T~T
They asked about me, and so I told them about myself. Then they asked what position would be good for me if I were to help people with similar problems as me. Then they asked what position I wanted to occupy in SOFAD. Then that's it. Those weren't the questions I was looking forward to.
I wanted to hear questions like "What position would you like to occupy?" [That was asked, and I answered Coucilor for Peace and Order], "Why?" and "What resolutions would you pass if you were to take that position?"
Waah! Those were the questions they asked my companions, but why not me? T~T I was so ready to answer those questions! T~T
Oh well... After that, the boys were seated in the lobby of the Girl Scout council. Hahah! :P According to them, Sir Alex [their adviser] gave them 50 pesos each and just left them. Hahahahah! :))
We were all in our scouting uniforms, 19 of us all in all. 10 girls, 8 boys, and of course ma'am Pam. :D
We took pictures... LOTS OF THEM! xD But sadly, I forgot my camera AND my phone at home. -.-" Sad.. :|
I'll post pictures once the others post them. :P
After we had our interview and took pictues with the boys, we all went to KFC to have lunch. :D
The girls' lunch was paid for by the petty cash the school gave us, while the boys had to use their own money or the money sir Alex gave them. :P
We stayed there for what seemed like more than an hour. I wouldn't know... I never have a watch with me, and the only thing I use to keep track of time was left at home. > . <
Anyways, when we finished eating, we stayed for a while longer then left to go back to school. But none of us [except Jillian] wanted to go back and have classes, so we went to Ma'am Dep's office and asked if we could clean the campus while we were in our scouting uniforms. :D
Yes, something like a clean-up drive. Because during our interview, one of the Titas asked us how we could keep our environment clean, if we couldn't even keep our campus clean. She said she passed by our school one time when she was on her way to the hospital, and she couldn't help but notice the dirty campus. -.-"
So we cleaned! :D
After that we went back to school and had a meeting so we could discuss stuff about our school's Survival Camp which is going to be held on October, as usual. :D And as usual, it falls on my sister's birthday. :| I don't know how she'll react if I tell her that though. :|
Today was fun. ^w^ Except for the fact that once we changed back to our casual clothes and headed home, we saw litters on the ground again. >:|
Peh! Leave them be... Science High is clean. :P I blame the college students... both UB AND SLU college students. Hahah! :P
Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. ü
Meet Nick Jonas <3
