nerrd- n. someone who never hallwalks, skips, or wastes time within an area. also refers to those who are working while others are slacking.

inSANE!- phrase. "You're inSANE!" refers to those who are fasttracking or very much ahead of target date.

the admin- n. the vice principals, principal, and sometimes the hall monitors and IA's. (But not the EA's.) usually used in phrases similar to, "The admin are such idiots!" "Shit! Admin down the hall." "Those stupid admin assemblies." "Admin are wasting our time."

take a break- phrase. because of the self-directed system, it is possible to go to an area where you plan to relax or seperate yourself from work for the period. this can be slighty self-destructive, as you may develop a habit of break periods, (i.e. every 5th period) or may get into a break state of mind for the remainder of the day. many students "take a break" on the last period of the week.
