Lately I've been pretty involved with A LOT of stuff, but it's been ages (read: over two months) since I've posted on here, and I guess I should, like do that, though I'm not sure if anyone reads this. Then again, do I care?
Since I last posted I have:
~won a gold medal at state forensics in playacting
~performed in my final junior show at ESP, Animal Farm, as Minimus the pig
~earned a 34 on my ACT
~went to Prom with my friend Joe as a date, and with a ton of other friends, and had a blast
~applied for a position as a Peer Mentor at LTI 2013 (I interview next week)
~started talking to my "big brother" George again after a long hiatus
~started hating Contemp Lit (Mr. Waack had to get back surgery and our long-term sub absolutely stinks)
~taken AP exams for Lit & Comp and Stats, and felt pretty good about them
~visited colleges and asked about theatre programs specifically
~changed my mind about wanting to be a theatre major
~changed it back
~changed it again
~felt very confused and indecisive
~realized it's okay not to know
~done lots of other stuff that either isn't noteworthy or I've forgotten it
Tomorrow morning I lead my very last GSA meeting ever, which is bittersweet, and probably means I should go to bed eventually. To be totally honest, I'm pretty sick of GSA and all of our not-getting-shit-done-ness, and I have enough stressful stuff in my life without it, so I'm actually kind of glad to be ending my second year in a row as a leader. (However, also being honest, I will probably run for leadership next year unless I'm forbidden from doing it.) That's the sweet bit, though, finally being done with two mornings in a row of waking up early and either trying to listen and learn or trying to lead. The bitter bit is that I am finishing my stint as an East GSA leader, and that the seniors (mostly Emmy) are graduating. I have really, really enjoyed the past two years. As much as I've been annoyed, I've also been inspired. I have learned a lot about leadership and about myself in guiding my GSA for two years in two different settings, and I have made the most amazing connections with students in my school. I am so lucky.
On a different but similar note, I am so incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to attend LTI 2012, and to apply to be a peer mentor for LTI 2013, and to be a GSAFE Student Planner. I've learned more than I care to admit at GSAFE, and I've met people who have literally changed my life (George, (F)Emma, Hannah, Mama J. and Tim, Mel, Lane, Key, Kristen, Andie, Max, Andrew, etc). I want to publicly thank all of those people and all of the people I've missed, because wow.
Finally, official notice that I am indebted a thousand times over to Abra.
