Discovery camp - First day

Here we are ! The train just started, and I'm on it.

The first day of discovery camp allows me to present myself and to hear a little bit more about everyone in the class. Even if it was the second or third time we did that, this time was very interesting.

Then, the class is gone for a day of discovery in Rennes. At first, I didn't know if I was going to talk about these several experiences, beacause I had a pretty negative view of all that, but since this diary is suppose to relate my thoughts and that we defined with the class that honnesty and integrity are an essential part for becoming a leader... I will try to explain why I dislike some part of this day and of course tell about the very good moment I share also.

We arrived at the FARC. OK. Ask a football player to stop his training and go put a tutu to trainned as a classic dancer... Or, ask a cat to jump in the bath... What will happen? that's the opposite of who they trully are. Same for me. Put me in the middle of a contempory art museum, that maybe one of the thing I hate the most. So, to be clear, none of what was inside "touched" me or even talked to me. All the explaination about the building were great, really, the guide was excellente, but as a Breton person paying my taxes, I was angry learning that this building cost 18 million euros, so it explain the local taxes I pay increasment! worst, the Region Bretagne didnt do any promotion of this building around Rennes so that people knows they pay for such a huge building... with.... only 40 "oeuvres" exposed. I asked some of my friends and family since tuesday, and they all told me they have no idea it existed. Don't you think it's a shame? 

Well that said, as my husband is from Carnac, where originals stone alignements come from so, the modern version of it, for both of us, it's just nothing spectacular as the original ones are, because, they are full of mistery, and this modern one is souless to my opinion.

Let's go to the metro! assignement was: get linked to somebody you don't know. Whoa. my first thought: I really don't like to be disturb in the subway, I am not going to annoy somebody. But is seems the group was motivated, and I didn't wanted to be the bad duck. Worst, my group asked me to be the one disturbing the train!!! Well I accepted, and it was really fun. I now must probably be on strangers facebook page as a silly pregnant woman having her baby in the tube, but, at least, I have learned a new technical to refresh someone (thank you Nadia), and that men can be really aware of the difficulty of a pregnancy (thank you Dom and Didier, you wife can be proud of you). Some of the other groups "sketches" or stories were very fun and help us understand other's behaviors in such "original" situations!

The end of the day at the planetarium was interesting. I unfortunately had to get out before the end (sory Sylvie, but I must be on time at the nanny's home to take off my girl !)

So, as a conclusion for this day : the situations we were put in during the day really helped getting to know each other better, I did have some fun and I learn some interesting things. Some of the activity in an other hand really didn't fit with my temper and my way of seing things, but, hey, to make the world go round, we need a melting pot of people, of taste, of idea, of dreams and so on...
