Difficult day at the centre

I feel this week has been an off week here at the centre.  Traveling in small groups last week created some tension and drama between people due to various different things.  But today everything got a little worse.  This morning our professors informed us that one of the students got sent home because of some bad decisions he made while being here.  I wasn't particularly close to this student and while I can't help but to feel sorry for him because of the once in a lifetime experience he will miss, I believe the university made the right decision to send him home.  To the rest of the world it is a strange concept to have an honor code, nevertheless I appreciate that BYU does have one and that they don't make special exceptions for certain students.  We all know what the consequences are if we don't keep the honor code once we sign it.  I understand that occasionally it is hard for some students to live by the honor code, however I am grateful for the students who do live by it and who respect it.  Since this morning I feel like everyone has been moping around all day.  It was the right choice to send him home but it is hard because there is definitely a void in the house now knowing that we have one less student here.  Hopefully things will get better here because as President Monson states-

‎"Life is perfect for none of us. Rather than being judgmental and critical of each other may we have the pure love of Christ for our fellow travelers in this journey through life."
