The Culture Of Love

CHAPTER TWO : Curiosity

I woke up feeling still sleepy, even though I slept for at least ten hours, which would be, normally, enough for a eighteen years old girl like me. Since I usually stay up late to work on assignments and study for tests because sometimes, missy right here doesn't have the time to study ahead of the test's date. Also, I like to write and read on my free time. Nothing too fancy, just simple books : self help books because I'm quite insecure about myself and don't really believe in myself most of the time. Or romance novels : it can be between teenagers, or between adults. I don't really mind. As long as it's not too cheesy and cliché, it should fit my taste.

Stretching my body for a bit, I yawned, wanting to go back to bed already. But no can do, miss. I had work to do and places to be. Even though Takeru didn't ask me to, I figured it out that it would be a good idea to search about how the student council was established: the roles of the different members, the rules, the activities to do and the orders to follow.

After washing up, without forgetting to wash my teeth, unlike yesterday night where I just got straight to bed after that. Call me lazy or dirty all you want, you gotta admit it's a pain in the ass to take care of your teeth, face, body and all that. At least I took a shower and washed my face, that's the lesser of it. Be a bit considerate and think about some students who don't shower for a week because of their exam sessions cause they'll lose time to study or get enough sleep. That's how far students are ready to go to pass the year.

Anyway, let's get back to what I was saying. I wore my sweatpants and a loose shirt for now. I sat down on my chair in front of my desk and turned my laptop on: looking up our school's official site. Basically, it had everything I was looking for: the student council members profiles with their faces, along with the explanations of each role attributed to each of them.

Looking at my clock hanging on the wall in front of me, I read it was half past eight. I have plenty of time ahead of me so let's get it.

"A student council is made up of students who have been elected by their peers to organize school and extracurricular activities for all students of the school and ensure an active student life."

Although the concept seems fun, I don't know about working with others... I'm not really too keen about groups work anyway cause I end up doing everything myself. The group has been made either by the teachers themselves, or the students. In both cases, I'm screwed.

To the point where my parents personally asked my teachers to allow me to work specially alone for the next few years until I graduate. I thought they were exaggerating. After all, I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling frustrated of having stupid, useless teammates. But I went along with it because it was at my advantage, what could I say ?

"A student council can play several roles in a school:
it organizes activities for the student population;
it represents the opinion of the students towards the school administration, parents' committees, teachers and the community;
it exercises leadership to ensure an excellent quality of student life within the school."

This sounds legit. I wouldn't mind giving my opinion as to how we could make our students' life better and organize activities. At least, this is one of the things which are useful to the school. Unlike those campaigns about saving the planet which have also a good concept, but that nobody believes in, nor follows. Like most believe, the planet has very few chances of surviving after 40 years from now on. That's another debate, let's continue reading for now.

"The Rules to Follow :

Identify the people who assume the different decision-making positions within each group of partners.
Establish contact with key people in each group and discuss possible partnerships on concrete projects.
Maintain good relationships with each of the partners."
