On March 22, we had our first overnight at the Y. After some socializing and updating each other on various events of each others’ lives, we were divided into pairs. In these pairs, we were given a sheet of paper with questions to ask each other. During this activity, there was laughter and there were tears, it was a bonding experience.
After this activity, the girls and the
boys were separated. The girls went with Maxwell, where he told us all we
needed to know about the upcoming North American Seminar and answered all of
our questions and concerns. Afterwards, the boys went with Maxwell and the
girls went with Sarah, where we watched the episode of the Simpsons where they
go to Israel. While watching, we had to take notes on all the stereotypes that
we saw during the show. We then discussed stereotypes, how they are created and
how there is sometimes some truth in them.
Shortly after, we exchanged gifts
for our secret buddy activity. At the previous workshop, everyone picked a name
out of a hat and had to buy a gift for the person whose name they had chosen.
The rest of the night was full of junk food and fun memories. The following
morning, we had breakfast which included bagels, cream cheese, nutella, cereal
and obviously lox. We then did an activity about time management. We learned
how to effectively manage all that we have to do in the time that is given to
us each day. All in all, a good time was had by everyone.
