Hello guys! What's going on where you are? I think we have finally fallen into a rhythm here. Everyone is getting really comfortable with each other. With each new day we become closer and closer. A perfect example is that fact that here at Conserve School it's never just one person in one chair. Oh no... that would be too mainstream and boring. Instead we choose to cram at minimum three people per chair. And when there' a couch you can just forget having a personal bubble. On the sledding hill the goal is who can be under the most people so you can stay warm. Maeve comment on one of the photos Conserve has on the blog. She said something along the lines of, "Well we look like members of a cult!" The picture was of all around a circle holding candles at the opening ceremony. I'll try and post it soon.
I have made some really great friends here, and we are already talking about road trips to see certain friends! The bonds that we make here will last forever in my opinion. :)
I'm really enjoying my classes. every now and then I get a little blogged down from homework, but one thing that I have noticed is that I am no longer all consumed with the grades. Today I checked my gradebook for history class. Despite the fact that i got a 7/8 I was not at all bothered. Typically I would find myself very frustrated, but I think it's good to be able to step away and just enjoy the learning experience. So for the rest of the time that I'm here I just want to soak in everything that I can remember, that those things that I can't remember will come back to me later.
My reflection for my E-portfolio will reflect this new way of thinking I believe. Basically the theme is "step away from the academic side and relax and take in the beautiful nature.
I must move to my next class! More later perhaps!?
PS I'm in love with Doctor Who now :)
PPS it's Chase's 16th birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE! HOPE IT'S THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE!! :)
