The final stretch of Governor's School is beginning...AH!!! The last three weeks I ( Read more... ) -

I'm having a "HYDRATION EMERGENCY!"
I can't believe that today will mark day 5 of Governor's School! I have already learned so much and met so many people in this short time, I can't imagine what and who I will know when the six weeks are up!

So today is the "Big Day," the day I go on my first big adventure! Governor’s School East 2009...wow! I never thought this time last year I would be taking such a grand plunge into the unknown.
