For me, actually I have not been doing much. I have done not much research, mainly because it is really time-consuming. I only do my research every Thursday after school. This is because I still need to manage my time for my schoolwork. I am planning to increase the period of my research to one more day, so that I can obtain more information. Talking about time-consuming, it is really true. For example, when I was researching on the Atkin's Diet craze in the 1980s last Thursday, I took about two hours but in the end only manage to make a few slide. This is solely due to fact that some scientists believe that Atkin's Diet is healthy but some scientists believe that it is not. Therefore, I need to read quite a few articles before judging and my reading speed is not that fast. This is the problem that I have reiterated for quite a few times and I still feel that it is the main problem for me. In addition, now I also face one more problem, that is when I am judging the reliability of a particular source, I sometimes feel inclined to support the meat-eater side. Though, I cannot do that because if I do so, my main objective which is to spread awareness will not work. People will feel that I am contradictiong myself if I were to advocate the meat-eater side. These two big problems were still left for me to solve. Pity.
I feel that my group conducted quite well these few weeks. Firstly, I want to apologize for my teammates as I feel that I was very inconsiderate for them because I demanded too much from them, even though they are very busy for their CCAs and schoolwork. Though, sometimes I still feel that we should push out of our comfort zone. I think that the feeling of success that we might experience in the end will worth the hardwork and efforts that we put in. Pump up, guys. Think of the plans for Vegetarian Day. If each person were to contribute at least one idea, it will be 5 ideas and it will be surely be enough a single day. I have the idea of making a Veggie T-shirt. Is this destined to be a flattery skill again by the willingful but stupid human beings advertising for us? Do you hear that, it is a walking advertisement! Ingenious!
So far, I have learnt more about vegetarianism and the effects of meat on the environment which is the only thing not known by me about meat. Frankly, I think that I still haven't learn anything about service learning. We still haven't do anything about that. New area for improvement? Yes! Through this project, I have learnt that teamwork is very important and researching is not as easy as I previously thought. That's all this time.
