my class society

Today we were learning about societies in Social Studies. And a class is a society in itself. I have been in my new Secondary 3 class for seven to eight weeks now. So what's my class society?

Basically, (in my opinion) it's split into two major cliques. The first is what I would consider a "sporty" clique; the guys who go out gallivanting together most of the time, cause most of the class disruption, and have very active and fun (well I don't know, I think I'm in the second clique) social life. These people, are perhaps 50% of the class, and without them, our class life would be very, very dry. So I thank you all for that.

The next perhaps 30% of the class are the quieter people, who aren't as rowdy and disruptive, are still good friends among themselves. I think I fall in here. Our presence and slightly more serious attitude helps modulate down the first half of the class, and keeps (or at least tries to) the noise level down. So I can thank all of you for that too (and me too).

The last minority of 20% hover around the grey areas in between and outside of these two cliques. Some are the quietest in the class which you don't notice, while others belong to both sides of the fence. I thank you guys just for being there to fill in the gaps.

My previous Secondary 1 & 2 classes were much worse than this. The whole class had at least 5 different cliques; sport/cool clique, music/chess clique, studious clique, couldn't-care-about-homework clique... and those in one clique would usually not talk to others. My Sec 3 class is way better; each clique just regards the other with politeness and moderate friendliness, which is already alot to expect from Secondary school boys.

So, I hope this year to be much better than my last one. Our class spirit hasn't truly come out yet (except maybe our OBS experience), but there's hope.

Goal for next post: Type faster yet mantain good grammatical standard. (because some blogs become very ugly when typed with no caps all the time)
