I'll be heading off to college this fall, so I've been thinking a lot about my life thus far. I hope that I've done some worth while things and that I've done all I can to prepare myself for college. I thought I'd put down a list of my favorite high school memories, more for myself, since not that many people read this. (That obligates you to comment, if you do read this, since I check my footprints frequently to see who's been on.  ) These are not necessary listed in order of preference. Number One has got to be being accepted at my dream school in northwestern PA. It's not PHC, but it has almost everything I'm looking for in a college. The archaeology labs are amazing. The dorms are single-gender. It's a pretty small campus with these cool old buildings.  They have a contract with Fort Hood in Texas to do digs down there. They have a rowing team, which I would like to join, since there's not a whole lot of hand-eye coordination involved. It was founded by nuns and they still come around campus. Anyway, I could go on about the school forever. Number Two: The Gen J S.A.T.'s. Virginia and Nebraska were cool, but my favorite was the Buck's County one this past election. The leaders and kids were all really cool and encouraging. I loved my room. I could just poke my head out my door and see the lobby. Getting the MVP award at the end of the week definitely helped put this memory on top, too.  Number Three: My Gen J Club. I love all my people, even the ones who left the club. We have so much fun discussing and debating politics and sometimes yelling at each other - Glenn. We've had our ups and downs, but I think we definitely have a good thing and I know you guys will keep it going after I'm gone. Have fun putting "President" after you're name, Glenn.  j/k Number Four: The Rennaissance Faire.  It's one of those things that's better in anticipating and in retrospect, but I love it. There's way better faires in New York and California, so I'm told, but I've gotten very attached to it. It's comforting coming back year after year and seeing the same shops and shows and usually the same actors. Number Five: Homeschool Co-op is always fun, not so much the actually organization and classes, but the people who attend. I not a very sociable person, as I'm sure all of you have noticed, but I feel relatively comfortable around you guys. Relatively.... Number Six: I only went once while in high school, but drama camp was a great experience, both socially and academically. Number Seven: Witnessing the birth of my little sister, Chaeli, two Decembers ago. Yes, I mean "witnessing" literally. Babies are always fun, but I think watching my mom go through the whole pregnancy process and helping to take care of my little sister will really help me when I have children of my own. But that won't be for a long, long time. Anyway, Chaeli (pronounced Kail-ee) is a ton of fun. [I'm about ready to take that all back. She just ransacked my bedroom.]  Wow, this is getting really long, so I think I'll stop at seven. Don't be offended if you weren't included in one of these. I still love you.  Oh, almost forgot: Quote of the Day: "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." ~ Alfred Hitchcock | 
If you visit me, I'll let you see it.
