You guys, I'm not even kidding.

My governor's school essay kicks ass.

They're gonna be reading it at the committee and all of a sudden there's gonna be one collective shout of "Who the hell just kicked me in the ass?!" And then I'm gonna show up and be all "yeah, it was me...with my ass-kicking essay."

Not. Even. Kidding.

 

krystin?



governor's school......i remember how much shit my friend jared had to go through for all that




never got in, lol

 

I don't understand.

What?

What's a governor's school?

Which essay?

And what is this... what?

 

uh yeah..what's that?

 

maybe it's a north carolina thing

 

Ahhh, oh well. I still really like my essay.

Ahahha..Governor's school is this...academic thing...for six weeks in the summer, and you go for a certain subject and study it for the entire summer. It's really modern stuff. One of the teachers at my school taught there, and the course was all about quantum physics and Klein bottles and crazy shit.

But the English (which I wanna go for)...man, Meg. There's a group that does poetry, modern poetry...for SIX WEEKS. Six weeks! That's like a little cross section of my future life...for six weeks. I really wanna go, you have no idea. And I am jumping through hoops, but I figure it's worth it, even if I don't get in. Gets me some extra writing practice. The essay's on a current issue in our world, and I chose illiteracy, like you said. It's friggin' awesome.

 

Ahahah.. My damn English teacher finally caught up with me on that film review I never did do on Gatsby....

I like to write, I just hate doing it for school.

I wish I could get as excited over it as you...

 

truer words have never been spoken


(i say this as i'm still procrastinating a summary/paraphrase i have to write...)

 

I go to the Virginia Governor's School For Math and Science (the full title...), only I've only done the summer program once for environmental science/biology. This is my first year with acceptance as a full year student. Then, I come all the way back and I'm in dual enrollment US history at my home school, but I'm getting out of that because I can't keep up with having to leave at 5am. I end up falling asleep at 8pm and getting up at this time of the morning (1:42am EST). I would get out of it if I had the choice now... the schedule is pure insanity and it leaves you without a mind sooner or later.

I have to drive 100 miles a day... it can be a nice break and relaxing time, plus I get to sneak home during lunch.

 

I enjoy writing for school most times...

university is a bit like the olympics but for bullshitting

 

i hear ya on that
