Emerging from the ashes
Wow. Hahah, just wow. I got back from Chicago yesterday after spending a week at the National Student Leadership Conference...I have to say that was probably the best experience of my life. I met SO many cool people...and it was awesome, because the program was called Inside the Arts...so I had something in common with everyone. PLUS, there weren't any dumb people...because the invitations were based on standardized test scores/teacher recommendations. I mean, dumb people are fine...it's just that it was nice to be with people who are really motivated in school/just naturally smart.
I also fell in love with a gay man who resembles Michael Darling identically.
But one thing that I realized when I was there is that I take advantage of knowing so many awesome people who live here, because I realized that when you are forced into a group of random people that you will eventually make friends based on similarities that aren't always apparant...and I realized that there are so many people in this town that I have a lot in common with...that I never hang out with, and it made me really want to hang out with a lot of people that I never see. So if I know you, and we've hung out maybe once or twice...or we used to and we sort of lost touch...expect to hear from me sometime soon.
But not too soon, because I'm leaving for Cedar Point/Niagra Falls tomorrow.
I love you all.
