Great, I'm not the only one posting anymore! I like your posts, so much that I'm going to post about the same topic. Okay, that sounded kind of lame. Ah, never mind.
I don't have any trouble slipping into holiday mode; I feel like I've been in holiday mode since the end of the 'O's. In all honesty, I feel the exact opposite of what you guys feel. Life in RJC has been a helluva improvement from life in RI.
Back in RI, I was practically invisible. Sure, the teachers loved me (they always did), but then again, I was a lot nicer back then. Less acid tongue, even quieter (if you can conceive that as being possible), definitely more hardworking. Believe it or not, I was quite the average student in class, for most subjects. Except for both Mathematics, where my grades were quite abysmal right until the Preliminary papers, and Chemistry, which I knew more about than half the class. Nothing much, just random scraps of information that the Science students will have picked up by the end of JC1. The point is, if you were going to rate my impact on my class/house/CCA/school, I'd probably register below a 5.
Now in RJC, what with the things Mr Purvis says about me, I don't think people see the real me anymore. (Thank God for that sometimes!) They see a spruced up version, filtering through a variety of other people's comments and impressions. It's sad on one hand, but liberating on the other. Just a chance to carve out something new...
