National Science Day
National Science Day
Today unlike many other days, I woke up with a smile on my
face! Hmm… well not really… I’m not much of a morning person at all. I woke up
all groggy again. But soon after I woke up, was the realization that today was National
Science Day! I know that may sound to you as some nerdy festival or something,
and it is, to my school. But what’s there apart from that are all these
activities! That’s the fun bit. Plus, you get to dress up a little. :P
The disappointing thing was that this would be one of the
last events that me being an AS level student, and being in the control-freak
of a school I’m in, would get to participate in after Annual Day (which I
probably will blog about later…). So I used that excuse to the max! Bunked all
the lectures so I could to go practice and prepare, cause this year I
volunteered to participate in a lot of things.

Poster
making competition
The thing I enjoyed this the most today, me being one of the
only art students of the school got so much attention of the art teachers
conducting it, and then again, I love painting. What makes me feel a little
guilty was that I tried to avoid it in the beginning because I’m just lazy. But
still I practiced loadssss for it! Like loads! I
think I did like four practice pieces in school and at home. The topic was to
do with science obviously, so I searched up some picture and then portrayed it
in my own way!
That’s what it looked like when I was done, granted it didn’t
end up looking too great, in fact I think my practice pieces had elements that
looked a lot better! But still, within the duration given, I think I did a
pretty good job, I’m proud of it! Oh and also… I got first place for it! :D First
place competing against all the other seniors from all the other schools!
Exhibition
of our school blog
So each year for Science day, our school invites all these
other schools in to exhibit their works and projects related to science, and
usually we’re forced to make models and all for it. This time however, my ICT
teacher suggested that I and my classmate, make a blog. This blog would be used
to show off the works of students of our school and the idea seemed simple
enough, so we liked it! Except she didn’t expect me to go crazy about it, just
make a plain little blog. However, me being so
interested in HTML coding now took this opportunity to immerse into something
new and maybe even learn from it. So check it out.
We had to put up a stall like every other group and then set
up the laptop and the monitor and all that and get the power to work, that was
just a hassle. But then I wasn’t ever in the stall itself, cause
the whole time I was in the art competition. :/
NYGP
Anddd lastly, NYGP, NESISM Youth Green
Parliament. This is like a subsidiary of the normal MUNs, except we had a
different set of rules and the topic is related to the environment. To be
honest, I’m not really too well informed as to what exactly it is, or what
happened… yeahh… But I was still a part of it! I was
first put in the publicity team, to spread the word of NYGP among all the
schools in Mumbai, then the research team needed me to research things, so I
shifted there, and thennn the logistics team wanted
me to create the website for NYGP. The sad thing was that, I made the website,
but by that time it was too late, and it couldn’t be uploaded to our main site,
so it didn’t happen… which is L. Nonetheless, it was an
enjoyable little experience, to be with all the people I rarely ever get to
talk to! I think MUN is a lovely project to learn and to participate in, it
most definitely will help me later on, but I just avoided it because of
pressure from school because of AS already. I’d love to take it up though, I
doubt another opportunity like this is going to come by, and even if it does I
think it’ll be too late.
