08a03

Hello all. (:
well I'd just like to say that despite how the situation(s) may look really bad now,
I'm sure that if we all are willing to work together as a class to solve these issues then they will be resolved, its just a matter of time and compromise.


first of all, we're a class.
-A class meaning that 25individuals have been brought together to function as one group over a period of two years.
-25different people with different points of views, lifestyles, personalities, way of expressing themselves and different ways of dealing with things.
So for sure, there's going to be clashes. there's bound to be conflicts, or people who simply rub each other the wrong way.
but the fact is, we'll Be with each other for the rest of our times spent here in PJC.
So why not make it as enjoyable as possible while it lasts?

i believe everyone in our class is nice.
no one person is purposely mean, or is trying to be a bitch and stuff.
perhaps some are more insensitive, or ignorant to how their behavior may be affecting those around them. but my point is, No one sets out to aggravate or piss off/hurt/annoy another person. lets try to bear that in mind the next time someone offends us? and maybe tell the person straight on (after we've cooled down) about how what he/she did affects you guys.
so on the other hand, everyone try to be open to constructive criticism alright? and be more sensitive to one another's feelings.
I'm probably not aware of every single underlying tension between specific people but i hope that we all would try and make a combined effort to make 08a03work.

Regarding the situation about the front row being too noisy/disruptive/domineering/unresponsive to efforts made to be more united etc,
I agree and I'm sorry.
I'm sure by now all of us are aware of this and will make an effort. (Well take Friday for example. it wasn't much, but there was more mingling during our breaks and it's a small step but it was encouraging really.)
But change doesn't happen overnight. So i hope you guys understand that it's impossible for us to become more quiet, passive and less domineering all at once immediately and to give it some time. on our part we will be making efforts to tone down, and give the rest of the class a chance to speak up. (:

oh and i believe enough has been said about the swearing and all? so yes guys(you know who you are),
STOP.

on a rather random note.
Cheer up you guys (:
i know quite a number of us has been down,
(regardless of whether its because of this class issue, schoolwork, personal grievances or life in general)
but well
SMILE
and find joy in the simplistic things in life. or just a friend to make you feel better, stuff your faces with ice cream or indulge in some stuff you enjoy doing.

Look out for one another too alright?
sure we all have the ones we're closer to in class but lets try and be there for one another cause yknow,
well be going through quite a lot together. so yup(:

I hope what I've said so far makes sense and all.
and i honestly believe there's been a slight improvement and its possible for us to get along.
One person can only make so much of a differences but all of us can make so much more.


much love,
grace.
