So this morning as I sit at my computer I dread the coming day. I'm have an 'Auslife' seminar, which is a Christian run day all about boosting self-confidence and good values. I don't see why we can't learn the exact same thing out of a religious context. Do you know how many people in ym year group are turned off by the day simply because of who runs it? Lots. I'll be surprised if I see Quack. So many refuse to go, or are only lured in my the free food. I don't care about the food and am honestly unsure as to why I'm going. I am already over-confident and don't want to waste a day being told to believe in myself by a bunch of homophobic religious zealots. I suppose I'll post again tonight telling you how it was, but I make no promises.
Xoxo.. Toongen..

...and the free food is such an enticement.
eesh ours is optional and I won't make the mistake of going in Yr 11. I thought it'd be funny this year and a good way to get out of class.
I hated the small groups cause they'd actually singally asked us what we thought. "What is Jesus to you?" and I 'm like "If Jesus existed, he was not the son of god cause I don't think a god exists. He was just a random wondering around Jerusalem telling people he was the son of god." Then they kinda looked angry haha (I was quiet until they asked) To annoy them I plagued the question box with lots of things bating them for their gay beliefs and then they went on a whole homophobic rant which proved my point.
Ahh, Brit, that's such a good idea about the questions! Our group leader was perfectly fine with the fact none of us believed in God and thought a) Jesus didn't exist or b) he wasn't the son of God.
omg the auslife thing was hilarious this year!
i swear my small group leader was gay, which was really funny, and then i (and whoever i was sitting with) put all these questions in the ask box about being gay and stuff, just to see if he looked uncomfortable.
i'm so mature.
i totally get what you mean, although if i remember ours was more filled with games than religious throat shoving.
was dude with bad dreadlocks there?
xoxoox
^His name was Cal, the dreadlock man right? Anyway, I saw him like twice outside school.
Aren't they meant to mail back our aspiration things? (I was scared about giving them my address).
I think it differed group leader to leader, but mine seemed sad/annoyed I was athiest.
Yeah toong, filling up the question box was the funnest part. Cause they read out every single one of my questions haha. Did you get to play the game where the Auslife people are grim reapers? .
It was Col, not Cal. Apparentl spellcheck changes his name into 'Cool Shamrock'.
Yeah they are. One of my goals was to read 'It' and when our leader asked if we think we'll fulfil our goals I said no. I didn't give my home address, so I'm not too worried. Lol.
I was looking at other groups thinking 'I'm so glad I get you, I don't think the others would be as...accepting.'
I was killed :( By my friends sister :(
