L is for the way you look at me.

Today I was told measuring success by wealth will never bring me happiness. Well, maybe not, but it'll bring me shoes.

It didn't end up being better than expected. This morning I was just annoyed at having to go, now I'm annoyed at what they said. For something that was supposed to boost my self-esteem it kinda failed. Telling me that what I believe in (meaning the above success) is wrong, and making me share my hobbies which really seem lame when spoken out loud. I actually felt quite self-conscious when it came recess. Thank god the day went up after that.
One of the people running it was an English woman and she was quite rad. I got super excited when she started talking about Catherine Tate's character Lauren. Then talking to her at lunch someone mentioned Shakespeare, which led to me admitting all I could think when she was talking about Lauren was when David Tennant was in a sketch as her English teacher (or was it Scottish?). Turns out she hearts David. She also thought I was quite humorous. Which I am. She also said how much she hates Spiderman 3 "But the point of Spiderman 3 was that it all falls to shit. I don't want my life to be like Spiderman 3; I hate that movie."
One thing I noticed today was while they did do a bit of moral throat shoving, not once did they tell us we have to believe what they do. We spent a lot of time split into groups and the one time we actually talked about religion our leader was absolutely fine with the fact that none of us believed in God and when telling us what she believes amde sure we knew it was just that; what she believes. They all made disclaimers that it was what they believed and while we should consider it, it's up to us.
Then I made fudge.
