It's 4th quarter and all of the senior minds are just done with school. It the end of April, all we have to go through AP tests, and we're pretty much done!! But until then...we're not. We still have tests to study for, projects to work on, and daily homework to dreadfully deal with. We're almost there though, almost...
However, one critical concept that I observed during Humanities this week is to be chill. Mr. Allen understands us senioritis-diseased seniors and that we're all humans. So in order to get through school, all we have to do is be chill. If we get everything that needs to be done during class, we don't have to worry about it for homework. This is Mr. Allen's 4th quarter rule and I believe this rule should be applied to the rest of the classes containing seniors.
Even if a class doesn't follow this "regulation", I am still able to apply it to them. I can get a lot of homework done during class so I don't have to worry about when I see kids freely playing outside after school and I'm just locked in my room doing something not that fun. It is almost the end, and we can all get through this together. Yes we cannot wait to get out of high school forever, but we have to realize that we're NOT quite there yet.
But thanks to Mr. Allen, we can just look at this from an easier standpoint, and be chill.

Blogging Around
Nina K: Captured Thought:emotion/physical bonds
Nina! What an interesting blog! Even though you provided one simple fact, it makes a huge difference knowing it. Even though I'm not in AP Bio, it's nice to have friends that are in different courses that are able to share such vital and relevant information with their peers. Like they always say, you learn something new everyday.
So going back to your blog, I've never made that connection either. This changes the whole relationship status around. This is great information to have for future relationships and significant advise. Thanks Nina!
Benjy W: Captured Thought: The Kids You Meet in Gym Class
Benjy! I love this blog that you posted. I agree with you 100% and even coming from a PE Leader, I also get to see the other side of it. As a leader, I see so many different cliques going around in gym classes, for girls and for guys. But they all come for one purpose: a mandatory class. But seeing these kids coming from different groups, cliques, or possees, they all collaborate together in order to get through the course.
It's just like De La Cru! All of us have different nationalities, traditions, cultures, hang out with different groups of people. However, when we have practice, we all come together and cooperate with each other to come up with an awesome performance!
And yes, it is a great way to make new friends, given that you wouldn't receive these rare opportunities to do so.
