Well, I might as well be brutally honest. I hate blogging with a burning passion. It is probably because I have totally bullshitted my whole blog last year and I have this issue with commitment to do something daily. So that would also explain how my daily blog last year only lasted for 10 days. But this year I will most definitely try to approach each blog post with 100% interest instead of just seeing it as a piece of homework.
What is there to say? It was the second first day to S.T.A.C. and seeing all of these new faces I got a glimpse about how the Oldies last year must have felt. Some part of you feels something missing, the faces and atmosphere has changed and it is a year to just start a new family. To make new memories. not to forget but to just add to the memories. So when I walk through the door it felt like nothing has changed. I mean sure people are different and there are more to learn but S.T.A.C. is still S.T.A.C.; it is still a place where I can look too where it is my break in the day. But besides that I feel like sophomore year is a year where you just go with anything but when 7th period starts I have a bunch of goals to start and finish.
While working on the wall today there was something that Luke said that has been on my mind. He said that the oldies seemed to breeze through the activity then the newbies and it has got me thinking about what has changed from thinking like a newbie to thinking like a stacie. Or about how my mind set has changed because of S.T.A.C. it seems like a light switch has been turned in your head. After a year being in stac , you learn how to think like a stacie. You just learn the expectations. So to all the newbies that have to clue what Luke's talks about (that tends to happen to me, no offense Luke) or is just confused, Have faith by the end you just learn how to think the stac way. But while working o the wall you learn about everyone so differently. Instead of playing introduction games or anything this way is much more entertaining and you get to see what really matters to others. Not just having normal conversations with them but you learn how they think and what they love to do. I also realized while writing my web that I spread out my chart to reach out to other people. There must be a bunch of lines crossing over. But I also got to talk to other people seeing the connection that could be drawn. like I drew serenity and that got to be linked to Jei Woo singing. I really am interested to see how this year will turn out.
HAHAHA! Finally, you're honest about blogging! And what do we get, a really interesting, smart blog post. Will wonders never cease?
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to address in this! First, I will just quote what I think are beautiful phrases, beautiful strings of words....
"To make new memories. not to forget but to just add to the memories"
"while writing my web that I spread out my chart to reach out to other people."
"I drew serenity"
Now, about this: "So to all the newbies that have no clue what Luke's talks about..."
If you all knew what I was talking about, I wouldn't have to talk. If you all knew what I was talking about, what could I possibly teach?
I'm mostly interested in teaching what you don't know. Isn't that what you're interested in learning???
Stunning, beautiful profile picture of you, by the way. Tell me about it
That is actually very true so I will make sure in the near future to rephrase that. But the profile picture is of when I was in Taiwan this summer. I was sitting on the train looking at the mountains and my friend just snapped this picture. But that is my story. Also I figured that I might as well treat this as my regular blog and just say what I am feeling. so thank you.

ReplyDeleteI agree. And being in STAC for what will be my third year, rearranges your thinking process from a typical high school kid to a serious student. Just about everything learned in STAC can be brought to any aspect of life. The thought process comes along with time, and when you feel like you're there, that's when you realize the light switch has been turned on.
I feel the same way. Everything so far seems so much easier than it was last year. I don't get anxious or over think an assignment, I just kind of a do it, and I think it comes out better that way. Makes me excited for the year. And that I'm not new anymore.
