IV - St. Anthony is the "cream section". Or whatever. But does that mean that they should put all the pressure on us? Sometimes I wish we didn't have this system. Other than the reasons that all my friends are my classmates, and that group activities are much easier to do, I'd rather have the old messy, noisy sections back. I think I got used to them :) [clement.]

And one of the things that people expect from us is our discipline. But what do they expect? Smart people are noisy too. It's as if they think we can do nothing but sit quietly and study forevermore. But little do they know that inside the intellectual and peaceful facade is a bubbling, energetic character waiting to explode when no one's looking. Unfortunately, that character seems to be exploding even when teachers are around. And I think I'm putting this in a good way. To be more clear, we're getting very NOISY. And everyone's noticing.

Not that I'm complaining. I like the noise! But many people think otherwise. But, I have to admit, as much as the noise is enjoyable, I think we're going a little bit too far. It's getting a little bit crazy. I mean, just this Friday, we (yes, I'm one of them.) were locking people out of the room. (well yeah, I was locked out as well. =p) And these last few days, we've been yelling our lungs out during dismissal time. Call it releasing pressure. ;)

Hopefully, we can put our heads together and figure out a way to keep ourselves disciplined (when needed, anyway. --is that wrong? :)). Because frankly, we need to get back to our old selves. I think it's the effect of the retreat. Since we're all so close (i think) now, we've had more to laugh about. :)
