The time things are meant to start+end is not the time they actually start+end! E.G.Orientation weeks timetable changed many times as things started late+went on too long,so the next sessions had to happen later. No-one seems to mind waiting though+they fill the time by chatting+singing Christian songs.
This frustrated me for the 1st time this week during Community Day where we were in groups+had 40mins to turn a parable into a drama set in todays context. After 30mins my group decided on the main idea (buying land where a stadium was to be built later+so then selling it on for a profit) +then took 10mins discussing a minor detail (how much we would buy the land for)! As Jonathan,who’s Scottish,was running the day we were called back on time+so had to act a play we hadn’t rehearsed once!
As well as this,most things are planned just the day before they happen..if you’re lucky! And I don’t know how people can cope with dropping everything to do these new things which arise. I mean,in the UK if you told some they had a meeting which had never been mentioned that they had to be at later that day or the next day,it’d be unlikely they would be able to attend,though here people do+this kind of ‘planning’ is the norm!
