None of my teachers can remember my name. (It's Shilo. S-H-I-L-O. No H ending. My mom picked it out.) And I'm not a new student, not this year. I was hoping it wouldn't feel so weird to be with so many other kids at once. I guess that's wy I don't stand out. This beats home school still. ...Was anyone else ever home schooled? I feel like I'm the ( Read more... )

...how do you know they're putting in an 'h'?

When I got my schedule for the classes, my name was spelled wrong there. The office also prints the attendance lists for the day.

Oh. Wow. That kinda sucks. I don't really have that sort of problem myself but I can see how that would bug a person.

Astronomy Club sounds kinda cool, but I don't know if they have one. I guess if there's a telescope at the university...is there? Well, they could borrow it then. But I don't know.

One H.

chasingmorning August 25 2010, 16:47:49 UTC

No H. I'd know.

goodboysgood August 25 2010, 16:51:50 UTC

Spell your name again.

chasingmorning August 25 2010, 16:53:12 UTC

I...oh. Well, yes. But no H ending.

Hey, Shilo. I can't believe they forget your name.

chasingmorning August 25 2010, 16:49:40 UTC

Hi, Peeta. I don't know why.

How are things going for you so far this year?

risetwice August 25 2010, 18:49:56 UTC

Oh, well, you know. Fine.

Well, I don't go to Westerberg, and I don't know that I was exactly 'home schooled', but close enough, I suppose. My uncle packed me off to boarding school because he got tired of me chasing off my tutors--does that count?

chasingmorning August 25 2010, 16:50:38 UTC

....You had tutors at home. I think that's something close. Boarding school, hmm. What was that like?

misterblackbird August 25 2010, 17:51:10 UTC

I suppose it is.

Boarding school is tiresome, but I'm in my last year.

Not standing out is a good thing, Shilo. The bullies can't pick you out.

...You're excited about the club rush?

chasingmorning August 25 2010, 16:52:22 UTC

"You in the back. No You" isn't that great either.

Yes! Do you have any plans?

absinthe_eyed August 26 2010, 00:32:12 UTC

True. I don't know why they can't remember your name.

I'm manning the Chess Club booth. Other than that, my only plans involve avoiding Rudy Miller as much as humanly possible. There's not a club for that.
