Back to School! YEAH!!

Summer has ended and now we are back to school.


Unlike others, I like school days. Because it keeps me busy and I can learn things. Also it's nice to be with my friends.


Anyway, we had the first class of ELP today, having our new teacher Mr.Paterson. (or can we call you Rab?) In the class, we introduced ourselves a little and talked about being creative etc. Creative people are usually weired, which means that to be a creative person, we have to be abnormal. As I suppose, there are many creative studetns at ICU because of the culliculum that emphasizes critical thinking. And it is the reason why ICU is called as "Isolated Crazy Utopia". We like to be unusual and we are proud of being unusual. (I don't know about other ICU students think like that..but at least I DO!) The words such as "usual" and "common" don't sound like fun to me!


However, I came with a question that what "creative" exactlly means? From my point of view, "creative" is unusual, but can be distortd sometimes.


I'd like to hear fro you what you guys think about the word "creative".
