The End of Welcome Week

Welcome week ended for P1s on Saturday and week 2 kicks off on Monday Jan 14th. The first week was characterised (as can be expected) by a lot of admin, club applications and introductory lectures. And a lot of socialising....

It was great to get to know our class better and also to get involved in integration with the previous class through joining the clubs. Also we got an insight into some teaching techniques and working in groups to complete tasks. This included both classroom activities as well as the "team building" session on Thursday at Outward Bound on Ubin Island. This was exhilarating in terms of the physical and mental challenges we had to complete in our 5 person groups (which we retain for 4 months).

The week ended with a massive party on Saturday night sponsored by Bain & Co at km8, a beach/pool party on Singapore's Sentosa Island. The party was absolutely spectacular and the mood was brilliant.

Sunday meant catching up on sleep, but also on doing the huge amount of pre-reading .... I looked at the course schedules and timetables today and it is absolutely scary..... what happened to the year-long chillathalon I was expecting?
