Treadmill: 29th of Dec. '14

Today I stretched and ran again on my treadmill. My supervisor keeps on telling me to strive harder on achieving my ultimate goal. Well I guess that motivated me and made me able to reach a higher "score" today. I ran 0.8 km non-stop at a speed that sometimes is very slow but sometimes quite fast. Hahaha I think now I know that that is the trick. I should save my energy for the last bit when I can just boost my speed and boost the distance in which I ran.

Like last week, I stretched and ran again. I was so determined in achieving a higher "score" than last week but apparently I still could not beat that "score". I ran the longest for again 0.5 km. I was just so tired. I know my strength sounds very lame. Oh well. Maybe it is true. But still, I am challenged to beat this score. I believe that with practice I can achieve my initial goal of reaching 1 km of running non-stop.

Today was the time in which the Christmas fundraising products are being delivered to our customers. It was ssoooo hectic and frustrating. I mean it is actually kind of our fault that we did not prepare all of the things first before today. This made us have to be so packed with having to prepare the products as well as having to deliver them today. But after all those hardships, of course we managed to get everything in control like we always did before. I'm just so proud of all of us who worked so hard to make everything worked out well today.

Treadmill: 17th of Dec. '14

Today is my first day doing sports in a long time. I realised that my stamina really sucks. The longest distance that I ran without stopping today was 0.5 km. I cannot believe that I was really tired when I reached that distance. I really need to practice running again.

Today my friends and I prepared for the Christmas cards. We wrote down the note cards of the message of our customers one by one. It was pretty fun and hilarious since the messages from our customers sometimes are just very funny. Writing these note cards has definitely made me realised that friendships are just so sweet (as cheesy as it may sound). But really. Hahahah.

Today I edited the sponsorship proposal. I was asked to do this task in all of a sudden. I was given this task today afternoon and had to finish it by today midnight. So obviously I rushed making this proposal but finally I succeeded. Phew!

Treadmill: Action Proposal

Please comment on how this activity will help you to achieve the Learning Outcomes as IB CAS requirement?

As said in my previous action proposal, heavy physical exercise is not for me. Plus, because I’m in grade 12 now, I don’t have the time to do time-consuming physical exercise. Thus, I chose to keep my physical health this year by running on my treadmill at home.

Learning Outcomes:

• Undertaken new challenges

I once reached 1km without stopping in my treadmill and it was exhausting. It was when I was still very fit too, before I got hepatitis. So I do have a target of at least getting up to 1km of running non-stop for the first few weeks and afterwards 2km and for the last few weeks if possible 3km.

• Shown perseverance and commitment in my activities

Of course committing to this activity will be hard for me because when I have set a target, I will have a strong desire to achieve it and achieving my targets will be hard. So committing to this activity will be hard.

• Developed new skills

Because the targets that I have set for myself are new to me, I will be able to develop new skills. For example, I will be able to understand how to control my breathing when doing the challenge of running for 2km non-stop.

Calvin, the president of the yearbook committee, asked me to print the final copy of the yearbook proposal today. So I edited the proposal again for the last time today and finally printed it off. This copy will be given to Bu Harumdah as the official copy of this year's yearbook proposal.
....hhavve... to... make it... neat....

Today we had a meeting about the Christmas event. I am relieved to hear that the helium balloons now cost for 5 thousand. I have great confidence that they will sell well now.

During today's meeting, the topic of the cash that is in the yearbook committee came up again. Remember we decided to have the treasurer share the information of how much cash is in the committee? Well apparently everybody forgot about that. So Pak Todung reminded the treasurer again. She showed us through the projector but has not send the file to all of us. We're definitely looking forward for this information because it will greatly help a lot of divisions when making a decision.

Although right now our communication is better than the previous time we had, I think we still need better communication within the team. Right now I see Pak Todung to be the only one working the communication issue out. The leader of the yearbook committee has been reminded a lot of times to pay attention to communication within the team because it is crucial, but apparently as many times as the yearbook supervisor and team members including myself reminded him, he just would not listen. This is going to be hard.

Today I was in charge of supervising the teachers' yearbook photo shoot. I was partnered up with Michelle T. We were in charge of supervising for two periods (i.e. around 2 hours). The photo shoot was held in the multifunction room and teachers just went there to get their pictures taken.

In the first 30 minutes, the photographers have not arrived yet. He said he was stuck in traffic. So we kind of had a problem. We had to really really apologise to the teachers that came to the multifunction room (which was quite a lot). Their schedules are obviously packed and of course we do not want to disrespect them, telling them to come at a later hour as if insinuating that their schedules are free. So it was pretty scary as Michelle T and I told the teachers about this problem. Some got mad. Well, oh well.

But we encountered this problem by coming up with the solution that we will email the teachers that have come when the photographer came already.

Besides the problem that we had to deal with in the beginning of our supervision time, everything went well. It was really fun to see different teachers posing differently. I got to see another side of them... :|

Today we had a meeting about the upcoming Christmas event on December. Yeay! Christmas is finally here! The PIC of this event was really organised in my opinion. I think that she will lead this event successfully. During the meeting today, we discussed about what to sell for this event. So far we have helium balloons, candies and chocolates. I'm excited about the helium balloons but I don't know if the price is too high because we plan on selling them at Rp. 10, 000 each right now.
