Thankfully, Valentine’s Day wasn’t too bad, just the occasional mention of it here and there. So despite some of the hype about the day we create to show affection to those special people in our lives, I had to spend the day being introduced to Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) and planning out what exactly my team wanted from our Community Learning Project (CLP). It did mean I spent the whole day cooped up in indoor classes, my current state (I, in the past two weeks, have injured my knees in separate events) meant that I wasn’t missing out on much, just a chance to play, to shoot a few basketball hoops, since table tennis is still possible. It wasn’t too bad, as we got plenty of planning done for our CLP and started the first bits of work, and I had my ILP completed by the end of that. But even then, it’s still quite a bore to be cooped up inside pretty much the whole time. I didn’t sign up for this, being injured for the majority of my time here! Thankfully, my injuries will heal in less than a week, so it shouldn’t be an issue for me for too much longer.

That was about it for my first day as Student Leader. I learnt what was expected of me and I hope that I fulfil the role next time I get the opportunity, as I did first time!
