This is the first day of the experiment, well after school I had the basketball tournament in SPH Karawaci. It took a lot of time to go there. Nobody really realizes my odd behaviour which is becoming left handed except for basketball or writing. The only part I did the odd behaviour was when I was eating but everybody was also busy eating so nobody releazed it. I hope my odd behaviour would be better realized by people tomorrow. This experiment doesn’t really change how I think of odd people. The odd person is this guy in my church who acts differently. He gets angry very easily. Maybe this experiment may be able to change my attitude towards him. But not now at least.

The second of the experiment was pretty bad. Well today I had another match in SPH Karawaci. But this time, we won! Well after we changed our clothes, we went to the mall to eat dinner. Thomas relized that I ate a burger with my left hand, I drank with my left hand and he complimented to me that I was being disrespectful. I really wanted to tell him what was this about but I couldn’t. I just came up reasons like my right hand is in pain after the basketball game. I felt pretty embarassed and stupid because Thomas thought I was kinda weird and inpolite. An odd person would be an old friend of mine who is not in SPH. He is odd because he likes to do weird stuff. But the experiment still doesn’t change the way I think about him.

The third day of the experiment. I still haven’t told anyone about the experiment except for the students at English Literature. Today wasn’t a school day so not many people saw my experiment. But today I had to go to church for a service, at church during lunch my friends noticed I was using my left hand to eat. They glared at me and I was like, “please don’t ask me what’s the left hand about.” I focused in drinking water in order to distract that from glaring at me. I felt really embarassed compared to the experience yesterday because yesterday the one who realized was only Thomas. For the rest of the day, nobody really realized because during dinner, I ate a burger with my left hand. Nobody would care if I ate a burger with my left or right hand. Up until today, I still haven’t change my way of thinking to a certain odd person. That odd person is my friend. This friend is odd because he acts differently, even worse than my friend from church.

Today I actually forgot to do my odd behaviour for some reasons. I really wanted to do it but the condition also didn’t support me because today was my granfathers birthday. If I had used my left hand to eat in front of so many people, I am sure they will think I am crazy. So today I actually purposely didn’t do it. Sorry Ms Mandy! But today I change how I think of odd people because maybe they also think other people will think they’re crazy when they do things. So I will be more aware.

Today was another basketball match, so I left early from school. Nobody actually saw my odd behaviour because I played basketball for lunch and only bought drinks. Drinking with your left hand doesn’t really make a difference. The only person who realized my odd behaviour today was my brother. When I was at home, I wanted to play games, I used the mouse with my left hand. It turned out that I can’t play at all, it was really difficult to use left hand. My brother asked me why, I said my right hand was injured from basketball. He then glared at me. I didn’t really feel anything because it wasn’t at school. Today’s experiment didn’t change my views on odd people.

English Reflection
For english, the task I inserted was a projected that was done after the easter break. It was actually around the days after the easter break if I am not mistaken. The project was a big part of my grade. It was relevent to the book I was reading called A Wrinkle In Time. So in this fantasy tale, it talks about some characters that have odd behaviours. So our english teachers decided on this project called “Odd Behaviour.” We had to think of a odd behaviour to be done over a week. I was very weird, my behaviour was to eat with my left hand. Honestly it was very difficult and I seldomly done it. We were asked to make a journal abou the behaviour day by day. I had to tell the experience I had which was embarassing.
Not only the journal which was graded but we also had to make a speech out of the journals which was more embarrasing because now we had to tell out the story. But in the end, I got a pretty good score. I got 8/8 and 6/8, I was really happy because I didn’t enjoy the task and yet my mark wasn’t bad. I would have improved on the mark which I got 6, that was the criterion which graded my vocabulary. I should have used better vocabulary.
