Bright Stars

So, I haven't been posting in a while.. And I thought I should get on with it. Today was more interesting than usual. We had this 'Bright Stars' program, so no classes! :) This feminist, Dura Dara spoke to start off the day. She was quite inspiring and she told us about loving ourselves and just being content with what we had and who we were. And to negotiate what we wanted. Then we had Yoga. It was pretty much just a lot of breathing and some movements. We did the tree! Like in Wii Fit. :P OH and they gave us free recess. The fruits were really nice. Isabel loved the pineapples. And this muesli thing with heaps of chocolate chips. :D Kate loved them. haha. Next was Laughter Therapy, which was my favourite session, I guess. This lady told us about how laughing was the second best thing for our health, after breathing... Did you know smiling sends 'happy' signals to your brain? So you can actually TRICK it into thinking you're happy. Interesting. And we're supposed to laugh 15 minutes a day. Gosh that's a hard task.. We did more breathing and stretching here too. Mindfulness. 5o minutes of breathing. And tapping yourself all around you body. And sitting... I got slightly bored, but I guess it would be good for de-stressing. Psychology! Well, they talked more about the university course than the actual subject. But I guess I learnt a little more. I have to do 6 years of uni to become a fully qualified psychologist. -.- I might as well do medicine. Sigh. SO, I think my brain got like. triple the amount of oxygen it usually gets after all that breathing... We got showbags! With no lollies. But with free shampoo. Because that has everything to do with Swinburn university.. Thoughtful, Me.
