As you may have seen from my last post, I have been on residentials for the past 2 weeks in Bala, Wales and then a local hotel as a part of Engage4Life.
I thought I should update you anyway and let you know how everything went for the first 2 weeks - because it was amazing! The facilities in the first week weren't the best, I mean, I shared a tiny dorm with 5 other people, our bathroom door didn't lock and was falling to pieces and I think we had 2 plug sockets for the six of us, but I guess that just adds to the experience! Besides that, the activities were great, we did canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing and waaaay more. Yes, I did fall out of the canoe, it was to be expected. On top of that, I got to meet loads of new people and get to know them better throughout the week, so it was all around a pretty good week.
The next week, we stayed in a local hotel and had to do business-apprentice-style tasks, which was kind of boring to begin with but eventually we all got on with it and it got a lot more fun - and I met even more people and made even more new friends, and I'm not even a very sociable person so its amazing that I liked that and managed to do that. We also had to plan for our 'Social Action' community project which we'll be conducting for the next 3 weeks.
Anyway, if that looooong explanation/account bored you, then I'm sorry, but I thought I should let you know what actually went on after I told you about it, its also the reason for the lack of posts and videos these past 2 weeks - but from now on I'll be living at home again (which I can't say I'm excited about... sorry mum!), so I'll have full internet access and way too much free time on my hands.
