Induction

Today was the Wembley Library induction.

I sent my friends all the application for the Wembley Library volunteer because they were all complaining about not having work experience.

Guess who did not submit it? All of them.

One friend was  like, no, I do not want to go beach with the estate, ewh, or I do not want to do work experience with the Library or go to the Suffra food kitchen because it is all so close and local.

What is so hard about doing things? What is so hard about putting in 3 hours a week or less even to invest in your future? Everything for most of the people I seem to know. People complain about being bored. People complain about not knowing where to start. People complain about a lack of opportunities. Then when one comes along, people make excuses. I mean, it is sad really. In classes, people are like, it is unfair that you got an A in that mock and I got a D. I am like did you study and they are like no. I am like what did you do instead and they are like I was just sort of bored. Texting. On Youtube watching stuff. Just the usual. How do people expect to get stuff done if they have no ambition?



Anyway, on to the induction.

I wore a skirt. It was a pretty skirt. :)

It was okay for me. There were many familiar faces. There was Agoro, Joy, and four librarians.

However, Fiona walked around numbering us and told us to go sit with our numbers. Alas - none of us were permitted to linger in a false sense of security and be with people we knew. We were told to talk to the person next to us. The first new friend all of us would make. Well not friend, but compared to everyone else who we did not know, we would be on better terms with them.

I turned around to this guy Leo who goes St Dominics and knows Lamis. He was really cool. He whispered comments every now and then to me.

We were made to do a test to see how well we knew the library. I knew my team would win because I had done the test last year and not to my surprise, the majority was the same. Agoro had also done the test last year too so I considered her my biggest competition.

I took the paper before anyone else could and began to scribble in answers. We were asked to write down 6 names of best sellers and one we put was 50 shades of grey. :P

My group - the famous five - eventually won. Obviously.


We were then asked to read a book and make a task out of it in 20 minutes and the book I got was Goldilocks and just the one bear. A take of the story where the bear goes into Goldilocks house. The bear is now an adult, anxious and scared about the city. Goldilocks is now a mother. At the end, both recognize each other and decide to live together which was quite cool.

The Famous Five soon became six when another guy joined. He could draw a really cool cactus!
