EDIT2: I'll be gone until August 16th with no internet access. I'm sure someone cares. On a lighter note, I got into the Da Vinci Scholar program at LaGuardia, which will give me college credit and be a great boost when I apply to Yale. It's a lot of after school stuff, but it also means that there's no way I didn't get my choice of all honors classes. My goal is to be an A student in high school, and prove that I didn't just get A+'s in middle school because it's easy.

EDIT: My art class, Starting Artists, is in competition for $20,000 on [link], and I would really appreciate it if you guys would go there really quickly, register, and vote (hopefully for us ). It only takes like five minutes, and it would mean that we could do a lot more...a lot more that might be able to benefit me and my family indefinitely. So please VOTE! PLEASE!


Crying uncontrollably. Too overwhelmed by the finale to type about it. More later. This is the most amazing day of my life.
