ACSW
It stands for "Advanced Communication Skills Workshop", a program in which I volunteered to be a facilitator for Engineering students, along with Aina Banana, Yus, Ana and BJ. I'll be going tomorrow morning until Sunday, and it's held at Pantai Sepat, Pahang, a place I've never heard of. Yup, all the details are in here (points to head) but one question stands unanswered.
WHY DID I VOLUNTEER AGAIN?
Oh yes, it's coming back to me. I want to get the certificate; will give me some sort of credibility to my status as a student once I graduate. And yes, there is the mention of allowance. Money always gets people excited. And another reason is to gain experience. That is supposed to be the creme de la creme of the act of volunteering. To learn something, to get to know more people, to explore new things. Okay, I'm good.
But all my friends will be spending their three remaining days of mid semester break lounging in front of the telly, occasionally flipping through books, go out with their friends, take naps throughout the day and sleep soundly at night while I, me, moi, have to be a good sport and guide students through activities. Oh yesss, I can feel the feeling of envy and regret kicking in.
CERTIFICATE
ALLOWANCE
EXPERIENCE
NEW ACQUAINTANCES
These things should be hovering in my mind instead of;
COUNTLESS HOURS OF SLEEPING TIME
FOOD
BREAK FROM ASSIGNMENTS (yeah right, who am I kidding)
FREE TIME
I will have fun, I will have a great time, when the program finishes, I will look back and say "Gee, it wasn't so bad after all."
Think positive and you'll feel positive.
Have a great weekend ahead friends. :)
