I wonder why everyone takes the small things in life for granted - the fact that the canteen will be open everyday, that there is an ever present source of water from the taps, that the lights will always come on when you flick the switches.

Sometimes you walk around school, you walk around home, you listen to some music. Thats when you tend to see things you usually don't. I don't mean schizophrenia, It's more of the things that you normally don't notice, things that make up part of your life and are more or less integral to your life. We, Man, tend to take everything for granted. Then when such little things cause our life to twist and turn after they screw up, even the better of us tend to curse and swear that it's a bad day.

When does anyone actually appreciate such things? I'm sure that everyone is guilty of not doing so. But even small things you do can make a difference to someone's life.

I personally believe in doing the small things, though whether I succeed in doing those things is a totally different matter. I'm quite sure that I'd never be able to please everyone, but actually the point I'd like to bring up is that I'm actually curious at how people can be so cold, and others so warm. I'm not trying to insinuate any problems here, but perhaps its the extreme differences in conduct I've seen so far.

Not to mention any names, but the stark contrast between people in RJ is kind of weird. To me, there are three types of people - the friendly, the un-friendly, the attention seekers. Even minute differences in how they treat people causes large differences in opinions of them.

Let's start with the friendly - I guess these are the people who treasure friends? I mean, more of the people who say hi when they see you, wave, raise their eyebrows, nod, whatever. I find that these people tend to have more friends than others, or rather just tend to be more sociable. And the minute differences in how they treat others tend to give people a better impression of them. Like I said, it's the small things that matter, that eventually will change the big picture.

The unfriendly - these are the people who tend to foget their acquaintances, the unsociable lot who stick to a group of friends. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but again, the small things make a difference. As it always had.

The attention seekers - these people are a merge between the friendly and unfriendly, only acknowledging your existence when there are other people around, or perhaps they just do it for fun or whatever other reason might come to their head. The small things that they do are so random that it is at times impossible to predict what they'd be doing - ignoring you or saying hi.

I'm not going to classify myself, that would be stupid. No offense to anyone out there, and if you're going to classify me, I'm welcome to suggestions. I don't know, just felt the need to blog something along these lines today.

We're not going to see you for the next two weeks at least. Take care ok? We want you back soon! Oh and for the homework thing, I'll check with you before doing anything, k? =) Wishing you a speedy recovery and all! 08A01C <3s you.
