Just three words

With the benefit of hindsight, I guess the friday issue could have been dealt with in a better way. There were many "what-if"s and many "I should have" scenarios but then again, the action was taken, the effect felt and nothing else could be done. There is no way we can travel back time to do it in another way; (even though technically dv/dt for the particle neeed to be at the speed of light which is 3 x 10 to the power of 8 meters per sec) I think the key point is that whether this issue will make or break the class spirit so as to speak. It was a learning experience for all, where we will hopefully see things in another perspective.

Nobody wanted it to end this way. It was a circumstantial issue, which required a circumstantial solution at that point of time. It was situational; all of us wanted something positive - to do the mass well and we had different ways of doing it and different ways of reconciliating and reacting. Whatever you may want to see, all of us do have the class interests at heart

In a group dynamics situation, this is a normal phase that all groups /organisation go through- A period of 1) forming where teams with diverse personalities come together for a certain cause, 2) storming where conflicts of ideas happens, 3) norming where the team find wasy to reconcile and work with each other and lastly 4) performing where they synergise and achieve/excel in their goals. It is in time of troubles and stress where the spirit shows. What is before us is the Thanksgiving Mass where we put our class spirit to the test. I hope that the class will put through this storming period together and be united as always, especially the committee who can rally the class together again!

I cannot be there on Monday as I will be helping out in the Heats but I will be there when you people rehearse. Have a great practice and a great Mass!
