Megan,
That is so cool that you are in orchestra! What do you play? I play the violin in our schools symphony. I love it because we have a full orchestra with strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. We get to perform at graduation, The spirit of christmas concert, and also regular performances throughout the year. We are playing the main theme from Schindler's List (GORGEOUS!!!), Viva La Vida by Coldplay, Swan Lake by Tchaikowsky (or however you spell it) and other songs! What songs are you guys playing? That would be hard to go back and forth from school to school though. You probably are buff from all the excercise!  :) Nice to get to know you!

Janine,
I was so impressed with your goals because I share many of the same goals. I really wanted to get all A's this year and try to get a 4.0 throughout High School because getting a college scholarship is very important to me. I also try to work really hard on my assignments and such although sometimes I am lazy. I try to stay fit through dancing but I eat SO MUCH. That is a goal I could work more towards. I was reading about you and it said that you have a teacher with an accent for first period. That would be so cool! I love people with accents. Good luck!

Alexius,
I had trouble deciding what school to go to also. A lot of my friends in my neighborhood were going to SFHS but my parents and I were considering going to the charter school, ALA. I had to think about it a lot and finally decided to come to ALA for their fine arts program. It has been a great decision for me. Although we have a dress code and hard work, it is so much fun. I also met my best friends there. Without them and this school, I would not be who I am today. Some people in my neighborhood thought  that ALA was a school for rich kids or nerds or something but it is really good! I enjoyed getting to know you!

Rachel,
That is so cool that you play the violin! I do too. I also know what you mean about you and your sister BFF's one day and "sisters" the next. Anyway, you are so lucky you get to sleep in so long! I wake up at 5:20 regularly and "sleeping in" is until 6:00 A.M. for me. I have a backpack that I carry all of my stuff in. I would use a purse but I have way too much stuff! Bye!
