Languages of Love

I think it's time to move on from PA. It's been a great 14 weeks that helped me to experience and grow so much more than I ever had anywhere else. Also, aside from so many emotional blog posts lately, I think it's time to talk about something more positive. So back when I was in HELP University, I had a subject called Personal Development and Leadership in semester one of foundation in arts. It's amazing how that really helped me to find and understand myself better. There was something I learnt back then that I think everyone should know about too. The 5 languages of love: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, and gifts. I think it's important to know about yours as well as those of your close ones. So to all my friends, do me a favour and complete this for me: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ In case anyone who is reading this is interested in mine, my primary would be quality time .

This right here is the feedback for our performance. While the others obtained this. I'm not saying they don't deserve it. They do. They really do. I really enjoyed all of theirs. It was amazing. What I'm disappointed is how even after putting so much effort, so much hard work, so much blood, sweat and tears, this is what we got. Forget the fact that we got lowest. Forget the fact that there was no bonus mark given. Ah, you know what. In the end, I think it all just comes back to me. I had expectations for my group.

So... if you ask me what would my life in university be like without Performing Arts? I honestly don't know. I can't think of anything better than to be in PA. Through the 14 weeks, I have gained and learnt so many things. Things that could not be obtained anywhere else. The extra boost of confidence and new found passion for the arts is not something that can be gained in classrooms. Patience, hardwork, timeliness, teamwork; all these are values that have been so deeply ingrained in us that have also caused a change in me. Stepping out of my comfort zone, taking bigger roles, having to perform in front of a huge crowd. I don't know if I would've had the courage to do any of these without this elective, this subject. The lecturer I have, Miss Nat, who can also be said to be my mentor and maybe perhaps also friend, is so passionate about her work that she inspires me to be the same - to have this drive in what I do. I have made friends that I never t
