25 of August - Tuesday

I believe that with most things in life, long-term planning is key even if, when the thing you planned for finally happens, the plan goes to hell and things happen completely differently.

That's exactly the process we started this morning at break time. Most of the U6's gathered in Room 301 to discuss some important future matters.

We divided the year into 4 teams, each one in charge of a specific section.

• Yearbook - the preparations for our own, private U6 yearbook. A tradition started last year.
• The U6 trip - where we will plan the U6 trip during the second term. Things like where we will go, what we will do, etc...
• Fund-raising - for the aforementioned trip we'll need all the money we can get. This team is in charge of doing everything they possibly can to make the amount that we have to pay for the trip as reduced as it possibly can.
• The U6 Party - traditionally, every year there is the U6 party where we host a party for (usually) F4 and up. Preparations needed include finding a suitable location, reserving the place, choosing dates and selling the tickets, and other stuff like that.

It's weird isn't it? It seems only a few weeks ago when I was looking at the other U6's and cowering under their immense size, longing to be able to go to their parties and hearing tales of their glorious U6 trips. It's hard to imagine that we were once the size of the current F1's, who now cower before us and want to go to our parties...

Tomorrow we'll be having UBC over to talk about applications. That'll be something to look forward to!

The bad news about tomorrow though: we have "battered fish" for lunch; whatever the hell that is anyway.
