When I sat in my room yesterday evening and checked Itslearning, a post on the international English side said that the class were going to wear loose and comfortable clothes. So when I woke up this morning I took on a really nice and baggy dress. I wondered about what we were supposed to do this day. My expectation was that we would wear comfy clothes just to be more comfortable with each other in the class.
When I then arrived at the school people were chatting about physical activities, and that we were going to play games outside like exercise. I then looked down at my dress and I got really nervous. It turned out that the activities we were going to do was called ice-breaking. It was, as I had expected, an activity to get to know and to trust the members of the class better. At first I thought it was great, because I would love to get to know the class better. But I am a shy person and that kind of activity is not within my comfort zone.
One of the activities was to walk around in the room blind. That was very uncomfortable because everyone bumped into each other and I didn’t know whom I jostled into and where I was going. But in another activity I felt calm. I walked around with my eyes closed, but this time the class were standing in a ring and leaded my in the right direction. So after a few activities I felt more comfortable with the class members and had a really good time. I learned that the people around me don’t really care about where I go or if I bump into them, so that made me more comfortable with myself.
