Today I had the honour of participating in the first, official, largest health collaboration challenge in the southern hemisphere. Or so the nursing spokesperson, Chris, called it this morning hahaha. He actually lay on the gym floor with a selfie stick casually showing off his flexible-gymnastic like poses as he tries to take flattering photos of all 300 of us. Most likely he’ll do the splits by the time he addresses the third round of 300 students (total around 1300). Should I even mention our faces are probably going to be blurred into tiny pixel squares, let alone our facial expressions that bare non-existent smiles.
Oh yeah, must quote that moment when Chris runs up the stairs and asks Ali (fellow pharmacy student) whether he liked the HCC.
“I do”, Ali murmurs awkwardly. Only to be followed by:
“That’s one sexy voice you have there”, as Chris stares a bit too passionately at Ali. *Eruption of laughter*
It was an awfully goddamn long day filled with face planting my Macbook Air whilst squinting my already tired eyes in an attempt to absorb and decipher more information than I could. Detail after detail after detail in an abysmal 6 hours, we finally reached somewhere.
Filming a 5 minute video sure seems a lot harder than you’d imagine. First off everyone talks at a different speed, emphasis is placed on various important / unimportant areas to which people may / may not fight over delivering. My part was 52 seconds worth - surprisingly longer than I had actually thought would last. Assuming it’d be a mere 30 seconds, my shortest part landed quite well into the allocated 50 seconds we each had. To sum it up:
Super smart medicine students + awesome Canon videoing skills = DISTINCTION.
