Don't stop believing...
Week 2 of Governor's School is drawing to an end.
Still loving it, even though there has been a little drama here. Two girls got sent home for shoplifting. A girl got sent home with suspected Swine Flu. Two of my friends got their money stolen and then the one turned on the other and accused her. It's been messy. But now everything is peaceful once more.
I have to meet with Chuck about my poetry on Monday and I'm SOOO nervous. He is such an amazing poet and I'm just so...not. I feel like nothing I write is worth reading, so i'm hoping he can help lead me down the right path.
My area 2 class has suddenly grown alot more somber since one of the girls who shoplifted was in that class. The teacher has really opened up though and he's really chill.
My area 3 class is by far my favorite! We are planning a community service project where we give out "Lanyard Bling." Little safety pins with different colored beads on them to raise awareness. We are going to accept donations and send them to the Teen Suicide Hotline. Yeh...this just sounded like an infommercial. Whatever.
My volleyball team won again. :-) Next week we play two teams on Tuesday and then another on Thursday. I love being on a winning team. It's such a good feeling. We all get a long and are having a blast while playing.
I went to a seminar about underlying tones in Disney movies....it pissed me off. I ended up leaving. It was so ridiculus the way EVERY little thing in Disney movies was criticized. Maybe I am just protective of my Disney movies but it was just annoying. Critics supposively flipped shit about the new African American princess' name being Maddie because it sounded too much like "Mammie" WTF? Like seriously? So her new name is Tiana...nice.
A speaker came a few nights ago who helped us "explore our bodies and minds." It was...very sensual...and VERY akward. In the words of many, "that lady must masterbate a lot." :-p Then night before last a painter/political activist came. She was very interesting. I really enjoyed her presentation about conflict in Israel. I thought she was gonna be an EXTREME liberal, but really her speech was very informative.
The band here is AMAZING! I went to their concert last night and it was wonderful! The had a piece where no instruments were involoved, they just clapped. And it was AMAZING!!!
Tonight we had a dance and talent show that were by far some of the best I have EVER been to. The talent show had some AMAZING dancers and singers and instrumentalists. I guess that is to be expected since this is the school for the "gifted and/or talented". ;-)
The dance was on the quad tonight which was so much nicer than the gym because there was a breeze. They played a good hour of Michael Jackson (God bless his soul) music that was SO easy to dance to. I had a great time and I hope they keep making the dances better and better. :-)
And of course..boys. I was interested in one but he has a girlfriend and I felt too guilty to get involved with him so I pulled away. So after him I was like I don't need/want a guy here. But of course someone else came along and I'm too curious to shoot it down. Not giving details..this ain't no diary :-p And also I don't want to say too much just yet. For some reason I feel a little uncomfortable? I'm so wierd lately. I like the attention from guys but then when they give me their FULL attention..it kind of..I don't know...scares me? Gah. I'm so retarded. I guess I've just put up a bit of a wall.
Flirting...easy. I can do it all day. Anything slightly serious...RUN!
Last but not least. I put two purple streaks in my hair. :-) I like it.
Tomorrow is Sunday = ALOT OF SLEEPING! I need it. I am loving it here but I'm SO tired. For some reason I am feeling a little homesick today. :-( I love my new friends but I miss my ones back home and my family.
Life is still good. GSE is still great. No complaints I suppose.
