dan's reflections reg the haig girls presentation
4:16 PM i believe i owe everyone an account of why i made a slip of tongue during the haig girls anti-smoking talk. it was an absent minded let-out on my part; i guess what i meant to say din match what i said in the end. initially i was thinking its probably okay, since i know what i mean and the girls din seem too bothered by that. but after cross checking with people around me, i found out; its actually not just about me. this i always knew: "you are wearing the (enter school name here) uniform so dont do anything that will marr the image..blah)". but sometimes knowing doesn mean we put it to practise, and what i did was precisely that(or lack thereof). =( the fact that we were representing an organisation complicates the whole process because its not just about how the girls or teachers think of me and me as an individual but actually the kind of 'talent' tj harbours, because, thats how people work- they group things together- but thats not the point. the point is that such appearences still have to kept up with, because if u mince your words, it makes it easier to swallow. today, its a school but in a few weeks its going to be country and i cant keep making such absent minded mistakes on such an unternational scale- even if the cute yunnan children dont get what im saying.. =( to end off the encounter, i guess i should have been more responsible with my words and well, followed my script more closely (something i struggle with) and simply think through before i start talking. it has always been my achilles (everyone is no stranger to my verbal diarrhoea) and i swear, if i offended anybody before, it was never intentional. i apologise. is it too late yet? danielle. |
