Here's the irony:
You know how I've been so crazy emotional the past week? or weekend?
Yeah so the thing is, on Monday, right smack in the morning we had this meaningful talk on how to manage stress, anger, and how to control your emotions.
Coincidence, or not?

The outside vendors taught us this:
COPES- Calm down, look for Options, Positive thinking, Explore your options, Seek help.
I guess its pretty useful, and one technique i'd love to try out is "scramble!"
So you are in a quarrel with somebody. In order not to get upset, in your mind, picture the person you are arguing with, and decorate him/her in the craziest way possible. Give the girl a moustache and some facial hair? Give the guy britney's hair and superman's red underwear? Whatever makes you laugh just do it :)

The good news is: the last week of school in term 1! I'm just glad we're gonna get this awful term over and done with.

Oh and hwachies are over this week (hillsbills invented that name). The thing is, I love to secretly watch people react in this new environment where there are boys in class. And it's the best occupation ever :D (okay fine it's not like I was given the job or anything)

Observations (so far):
- We girls tend to act girlier
- Unfortunately, i hate to agree with the teachers, but :O. Voices and tones are a little pitchier
- There is much hubhub in class (our normal hubhub is somehow.. different)

The best part is watching the overly-enthusiastic ones. It amazes me how we all act differently when there's an uncommon presence.

Oh and the teachers are really great. Every lesson they would speak for all to hear-including the boys: wow the class is exceptionally excited today, i wonder what..
