This is the last week at Governor's School and I am soooo incredibly sad that I just cannot take it. I don't want to leave all of these people behind and head back to Hicksville, but it seems as if I must. Only a very few people can now relate to me back home, because only they know what it's like here. Those are Ashley, Molly, Elizabeth, Beth, Marjorie, Kyle, 'Cat', and Lindsay (last 2 are people from A-ville that I met here.) If you aren't one of those people, I'm very sorry, but you probably aren't going to like me very much when you see me again. A few of you might, but I have come into my element here and am not going to go back to the passive niche I have been playing at home. Watch out Enka-Candler, here I come.
To all of my friends in the 'Lovely Thermometers', you all have no idea how much you have meant to me over these past 6 weeks. Back at home, I am hardly accepted for the whole of who I really am, but you all have accepted me from the very beginning and shown me what true friends are like. So to you, Elizabeth French, Michaela Bennett, Lindley Barrow, Stacey Warren, Brandon Ray, Rob Walther-Wilbur, Zach Smith, Sarah Jenny, Camille Beasley, Alex Boehling, and Matt Lane, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Life isn't going to be the same without you guys. I told myself I wasn't going to cry--wait, no I didn't. Here's to you. |

I'm headed back home for 4 July weekend on Saturday. If I feel like it, I may associate with some people outside of the GS world (West or East), but maybe not. Probably not.
I'm going to watch a movie now. More updates coming. |

I am tired. Actually, I am freaking exhausted. As if there aren't too many things to do here, I actually have to socialize with people. I have a deficiency in bringing myself to talk to people that I don't already know, which isn't a good thing being that this is only the beginning of the third week down here. Oh well.
I have recently become aware that my parents aren't going to like me very much when I get home. I am now really questionative and do not just want to sit around anymore. What a wake-up that will be to overprotectivity.
More thoughts and updates to come. |

I've been in Governor's School for 3 days now, and it is really awesome. I've met too many people. I can't remember half of their names (unless it is Patrick [of which there are 5], Amanda [5ish], or Zach [8ish].) Being that there are 399 people here, I can't possibly imagine why I would have a hard time remembering people's names...
I have 2nd and 3rd periods off on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so I'll probably be around sometime between 10:15AM and 1:05PM on those days. If you want to talk, give me a ring on my cell after 10:00PM (from 9-10PM we have Social stuff) or on weekends at (828)778-7821. My phone won't be on (or I won't answer) if it's not in those times. Grazie!
Again, send me some mail at the address on the previous entry. My birthday is tomorrow, so send cards and junk. |

The beach was kind of fun. It's always great to go the the beach, but these days, I can never find anyone to hang out with. And hanging out with parents and little brother is not really hanging out at all. Next year, I am not going with the 'rents again unless I get to go with other people too. Oh well, when it's free, you don't complain too much.
The majority of the time that I was there, surf was down. The tides were either too early in the morning or after dark at night. I was left to tan for the majority of the time, because there were bunches of little kids or 'hot shot' 'pre-teens' [or whatever they want to be called] in the pool. The largest pool was closed because of construction. Also, it is no fun to be on the beach when it is around 32ºC (90ºF) outside under 'Very High' UV ratings. In other words, it was so freaking hot on the beach when it is futile to go into the ocean.
Whilst I was down there, I saw a bumper sticker that read 'Teach Your Parents Well' and had a ying-yang and peace sign on alternate sides. I almost died. If my parents hadn't been there, I soo would have gotten it.
Governor's School starts on Sunday. My birthday is Wednesday. This is going to be an interesting week coming up, methinks.
Here is my address for Governor's School. PLEASE send me mail from the outside, non-nerdy world!!!

I am so very confused. Graduation was tonight and it was interesting. I saw Sara Glance, Sheila Glass, Lauren Anderson, Megan Morrison, Jordan Ferguson, Jeff Haller, and Brittany Davis walk across the stage and it was uncomfortable. I cannot imagine life without them. Especially Sara and Lauren. Sara has been my trumpet friend since my freshman year and she has been there through all of the 12 years of my schooling. Lauren has been there with me through it all; she is a very strong girl who has kept me stong when times have gotten rough. Next year is just not going to be right without Sara at Band Camp or Lauren with her dependable love and understanding. I just don't know how and if I am going to cope. |

After reading my last post, I have realised that I write some really stupid things on here. I need to be more like Beth. In pretty much every way.
Who hasn't heard of Green Day? Stupid unos Scorchos. :D |

I do not believe that I understand my life. My emotions are all out-of-whack at the moment. School is over finally, but I still feel stressed for some reason. I think that my brain doesn't know how to cope without 3-4 hours of homework every night. Stupid school is confusing my brain, even when it's over.
Love. Well, relationships. I just don't understand my heart. There was this girl that I kind of had a thing for at Summer Ventures that I found out is going to Governor's School West in Natural Science like me. Now, I think that that thing is sort of coming back. So now I am confused again. I danced with her at the socials, but I don't know if that meant anything. Hmmmmm.
Yes, so tomorrow I get to meet Aubrey, the quasi-new Junior Volunteer Coordinator at the Memorial Campus of the hospital. I saw quasi-new because she was there for something like 8 years and then she left for 2 years, and is now back. She is nice and fairly lax, from what I've heard, but I don't know. After Jennifer, I don't think that I know what the word lax really means. |

Ashley and I have recooped. I just found that it is way to hard to not like someone, especially your best friend. I'm sorry to all my other friends for going back on my word, but I just can't hold a grudge that well.
Relay was super. Molly and I walked around the track at 2:00am singing Weezer in lanes 2 and 5, depending on where the hurdles were. And we scared Heather and Candice. Oh well. Weezer rocks and that's all that matters. Unfortunately, my nice calculator ($150) was stolen there. Now, I am going to have to use birthday money or something to pay for a new one. *osna*
So, exams are on Thursday (Chemistry) and Friday (US History Field Test), but I'm ready for this year to be over. I can't wait until Governor's School. Yet, I'm going to miss the Seniors so very badly. They've been with all of our years in school except for 2 (5th and 8th grades) and now they are going to be gone forever. Being sad really sucks.
I got a 2140 out of 2400 on my SAT which makes Duke a viable choice now. However, Carolina is running a close 2nd. I'll end up at one of the two. Each has its pros and cons, but I still am leaning more towards Duke.
Piano recital is on Sunday, which is kind of concerning being that I haven't practised in about a week. I'm going to die now.
This Hell of a year is almost over. I'm not sure whether to be relieved or sad... |

If you have more actual friends that I used to be, I would love to see them. Your 'friends' are the same as you were to me (i.e. fair weather.) You have no right to yell at me. Don't lie to me on my own blog, bitch. I know your tactics because I have seen them several times. I am not gullible this time.
If you were a true friend, you would have told me what was going on in your life. But I don't care now. I write things down because I don't want people to be as stupid as I have been. I tell 'everyone' 'everything' because they are my true friends. You never listened to me, you treated me like a rug that you can just walk all over. Yes, you have treated me subhuman; not so much this time isolated, but throughout our 5 years of 'friendship' you have acted like I am stupider than you, less important in the whole scheme of things, and as if my thoughts and opinions do not matter in your life. You freely shout advice to me but you get very defensive when I confront you and give you advice. You can go to Hell for your incompetence as a friend and hypocracy. |
