I survived.

I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT!

I made it through my first day of Freshmen Connections!!! Plus, I took the bus and train without an adult for the first time. This is amazing!

I am so proud of myself, and I know that high school won't kill me! Sorry for all the !e!x!c!l!a!m!a!t!i!o!n !p!o!i!n!t!s!, I'm just really excited.

(Here's where I go into detail about everything that happened, so you can skip down to the line of asterisks, if you don't care.)

First, I met with my best friend, Omi, and we walked in together. We went into the auditorium and were separated, because I'm in Alpha Honors and, unfortunately, she is not. :(

Basically, the first semester is working only on the science fair project. I will be doing this project for the next four years, so, obviously, I need to pick a captivating topic. To add even more fun, I have to know what I want to do my project on in three days. Woo. But, luckily, I have two-ish-three ideas, so I should be good.

Then, we were given four papers (plain white, mind you; how boring) and directed into a classroom on the first floor. We went over the papers (about the science fair project, of course) and proceeded to a very, very hot computer lab. We actually researched for the project and I found some pretty cool stuff. After that, we were whisked away back to the auditorium. There, we were left alone with Alpha upperclassmen.

I have to be honest, they were pretty darn cool. They have an amazing camaraderie and build off each other. They are so funny and they strengthen my desire to be an Alpha. (By the by, it is so weird how we're "Alphas" now. It's like we're superior, which I don't want. I enjoy equality, thank you very much.) So, we were able to ask them anything we wanted about the Alpha program and life as an Alpha. They said that it could get frustrating sometimes (which I figured), but it was definitely worth it.

I was supposed to get out at 12:15, but they let us go at 10:50! So, I had to wait for Omi at McDonald's, which wasn't bad, because I was able to work on my project.

So, I may or may not have seen/slightly spoken to a VERY cute boy. Most likely, I did. ;) All we said was, "Thank you," and "You're welcome," but it was very meaningful, if that makes any sense. O.o

In short, I think I just might like high school.

Anyway, I might post progress of my project on here. Possibly.

I know, if you read the account of my first day, that you may be thinking that I am nerdy or geeky or just plain weird. But, say what you will, because I am excited and no one can take that from me. Hmph! *stomps foot*

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I'm hoping for no shots, but my hopes may be unsuccessful. Eh.

Wish me luck! I might post each day, to recap my experiences at Freshmen Connections. Talk to you tomorrow!

Peace, love, and simplicity. ♥
