I Made It!!!!

I found out this morning. I'm going to Governor's School!! I'll be on the East campus at Meredith College in Raleigh, and I'll be there for six weeks. I'm "majoring" in choral music. I can't believe I got in!
The only downside is that I won't be home for the release of Harry Potter 6. I might have to wait until I get home to read it, and I won't be able to check the blogs because you all will have already read it. Plus there's stupid summer reading. . .
Oh well. . . I'm going to Governor's School!

Hardin Park Wins BOB!!!!!

Here's the order:
1. Hardin Park
2. Green Valley
3. Green Valley (there were two teams; I don't know which was first)
4. Parkway 6th grade
5. Parkway 7th grade
And that's all I know. There was only a 10-point difference between the top 5 spaces, and Hardin Park won by 2 points! Closest it's ever been. We've all gotten really competitive.

I'm a not the only one who blogs inconsistently. The last posts were February 24 and now it's March. See?
