Jail

I just came back from jail. Our class had a 'tour' of jail. It was sort of intimidating. The tour was given by the superintendent, and the things that he said and the tone of voice used was meant to scare us away from breaking the law. The doors were very heavy and they banged whenever closed. We got to see the central control center. Two people were there who monitored the entire place. They opened doors for people and they watched cameras. Scary facility.

The Dance

I got back from the dance two hours ago. It was allright, not as ecstatically exciting as I had expected it to be. There were a lot of grinders, and this poor girl (well she was consenting) was sandwiched by two guys doing yucky stuff. I'm too tired to go into graphics because it is 12:30 over there about. Good night. *yawn*

Lessons I have Learned - Applies to All

Having been at Exeter, I have learned lessons that do not apply to academics. I don't know if this is a result of being here or what but here goes at the risk of sounding like a total cheese:

- Being with new people expands your musical interests. I have stuff on my Ipod that I have never of before being here, like Cute is what we aim for and Katy Perry. Your Ipod playlist displays your personality and if the playlist expands that means your personality has also expanded. Yay ^_^

- It's okay to be alone at times. You don't have to hang out with or be around the presence of people all the time. It's not going to matter if you miss hang out time with your friends once or twice. What matters is you and how you use that time to develop yourself.

- It's okay to be yourself - self explanatory and over said but it is true. Pretending to be someone is not worth it and tiring.

- Volleyball is a team sport - no matter how skilled you are, the whole team needs to be good and work together. It doesn't hurt if you guys are buddies either, because then you can forgive each other's mistake. Example: I was playing with a team today that I only knew one person in it well and we sucked so bad. I don't know if they're regularly that bad or because they hated me. When played well, volleyball is very fun and fun makes you feel good. So through a geometric mathematical property (transversal? idk) volleyball makes you feel good.

Polar Bear

Today, I woke up at 4:50 am. Got ready, then walked in my bathing suit and towel (so cold) to the place where the busses met to drive us to the Atlantic Ocean. We got out there, and just walking on the sand numbed my feet! It was low tide and the sand that usually was under water formed such beautiful ripples! Mildly fun, can't decide if I want to do it again. I don't know how much time we got out there, but I know by the time I got in the shower to get all the sand off of me, it was around 7. Then I went and got breakfast like a normal person. But, I am sleepy now because I woke up at 4:50.

PREPS

why is everyone at this school preppy? Coming here, I expected the usual clump of preps that occur at every school, but they have infested the whole damn place. It is a little unsettling, seeing Abercrombie Hollister AE Aeropostale Wet Seal EVERYWHERE.

Dance or relatives?

I made plans to stay with my (rather distant) relatives who live in Massachusetts. The same day!! (this Saturday) is one of only TWO school dances here at Exeter. What should I do, move the relative visit to next Sat which I know will complicate things and I really don't want to be a bother to anybody but I also really want to go the dance. I want to experience everything possible here and I don't want to miss out but I also don't want to upset my family. Oh my god, by writing this I just figured out what I will do. Blogs are cool.

There are so many decisions I have to make right now, and I am emotionally fragile because I am so far from home for such a long time. I am so mad agitated frustrated confused that I could cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy from anger. . . . . . idk . . . . . . . .. .. . .
