Art, Books and Mutual Friends

Those three things mentioned in the title are great conversation starters for me. 
For example, I saw a girl reading a book I had read two years back. Turns out she has read the whole series (but I forgot most of it :P) It was a brief conversation, but it was there.
Then I got to know another girl more by talking to her about a person that we both know. It was funny and interesting. Later in class, we also drew lots of funny things together, 'inking' quotes on our hands. 
I think that those three things are really good conversation starters as I know where I stand with those topics: I like drawing, reading and getting to know people.

Mentoring Program at School

Today in school we had a mentoring program specially for the students in Form 1.
I got to school and registered, then I was brought to my group. I realized that I only knew 3 people in my group of 12. But after we got to know each other, we really worked well as a team. We gave each other encouragement and managed to win 5 games out of 7 games. We lost one and tied one.
During one of the games, one prefect said something the students are not encouraged to say. I realized that even "perfect" people are also human.
The games we played were rather fun, not really what I'd expect from SCHOOL. But after all, the people planning this are about our age. :P
Our team got 2nd place as an overall prize, so our group was very happy.
Today was a fun day, and I'm sure many people enjoyed it as well.
