Well, yesterday put an end to the Dine in the Dark saga. The last major event in my interact journey, I was very glad to say that all went well, despite the million ways it could have gone wrong. Well, working for DitD can be a real hair-pulling moment.. There were a few days when my thoughts were solely filled with DitD from the moment I woke up from my bed to the moment I touched down the hay. As the organizer of DitD, however, I am really grateful to say that the people I worked with are awesome. I remember that I was skeptical in the beginning if these people would put in their all, but yeah, they did (:
No, to be honest, it wasn't a smooth ride in DitD's preparation. A tough teacher-in-charge who was fickle and had laggard responses, a strong-headed underling who forced his own ideals in the preparation, and witnessing a conflict between your fellow higher-ups were not easy things to deal with. But the preparation really taught me how to handle other people. From public speaking, coming up with impromptu things to talk about, dealing with external organizations and adults, sourcing for sponsorship, to giving my underling a warning about his lack of performance.
I have a hunch that through this event, I am growing closer to my ideals throughout this DitD journey. Mere words won't be fitting to describe whatever pains or happiness I went through, but allow me to talk nevertheless. I will miss the long nights I spent with the training comm in preparing for the stuff and also the J8 meetings with my admin comm. Yeah, now I'm leaving for a dinner with my friends, so will continue to the update (meanwhile it's staggered) when I got more to say :)
Cheers,
Your Indonesian's Finest.
