Yea, that's why I wish that we can also have a fun retreat for only our grade in addition to a 'two-grade' one...because a retreat by ourselves is guaranteed fun, but a senior retreat can be a bit iffy. I still don't have a lot of doubt that it'll be mounds of fun. And I agree, if you force yourself to be friends with people, it's not very beneficial, like is it really something that you want? I don't know. And I have a feeling that the grade 12's are rather a bit different from our grade, just in general. Anyways, here is the comment you asked for :D

Thanks Gen, now I feel so special. Yah that would be awesome if we could have another retreat. But I guess we can look forward to that in grade 12.

Yay! An entry! See, you did use it. I was crollin through my friends page and there you were. Freaked the crap outta me.

Anyhoo. The Sr Retreat will be awesome. You've got me there, remember?

is this chantelle's journal thing? it sounds like smth chantelle would worry about. but seriously, its going to be fun, and its not going to be awkward. i personally, would like to be friends with the gr.12's. i know there's some things taht bug me about them, but to be honest, there's some things taht bug me about the ppl in our grade too. (even the girls i'm closest with. i'm not trying to offend anyone, but its true.) it wasn't that awkward at sharon's party, except for the fact that all the gr11's were together and all the gr.12's were togethere....but next time we should make more of an effort i guess...but yeah...dont think about that kinda stuff, cuz then it'll ruin the experience. just go with the flow babe.
chow for now

I guess my point is it seems so forced cause last year we wanted nothing to do with them and now it's like we're always trying to hang out with them so it's just weird. I don't have anythign against it, I just hope that it's not fake.

Idunno Syl, I'd really overly have to disagree. I'm totally cool with the Sr Retreat thing, but having to try to be friends with the grade 12s...

It was pretty awkward at Sharon's party dude. You said it yourself:
it wasn't that awkward at sharon's party, except for the fact that all the gr11's were together and all the gr.12's were togethere
That was the entire time. That was the only fact.

I don't think you should have to say 'I want to be friends with them' in order to be friends with anyone. It seems all too forced. Obviously there's gotta be some sort of effort at one point in time, but that kinda effort is different. This is "friendly conversation" vs "forcing yourself to like people you don't like, for no particular reason, other than the sake of being 'friends with the grade 12s'" Sounds way off to me. I was talking with Gen about this. Friendships can't be forced; They should be natural. Like all of us for instance. We never had to try to be friends. It just happened. Isn't that why our friendships kick ass?
