Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

My roommate and I started off the conversation talking about how being an older or younger child can affect your personality, and then we further examine our classmates in the program to reinforce our theory and arguments. In the end, I found it very interesting how everyone's interactions to each other evolve through out the year. We gradually adjusted our behavior and reactions to accommodate others'. As my roommate put it, we are almost at the final stage of growing, which is the stage one has to determine what kind of person he/she wants to be and start to develop towards that personality until the age of 27-ish. And that is why this is an interesting year because this is the stage where everyone has a pretty solid and established value, but the same time still flexible enough to adapt new ideas. There were a lot of conflicts at the beginning of the year, but now everyone has sorted it out and become a part of the community. Everyone has certain behavior and certain role in the community and we are all affecting each other's values. Cheers to friendship!
