You go to an independent school? What's that like?

Then maidenheads are going.

There's a blush for thought, and a blush for nought,

Yea, Miami skies can be beautiful. I feel like I don't go downtown much when I'm there =/

I've lived here my entire life and I've literally only been downtown 7 times. That's pretty sad lol. How about Delaware? Is it nice up there?

Its nice, calm, it can be a bit dull. But I guess it is what you make of it. :P

*Didn't even see your question about the independent school*

Well, its got the resources to be a great institution, its the side effects that can kill ya...we have a board of trustees, along with a large population of rich kids that don't even consider the grass on the other side X_X. I guess you get that just about everywhere though. We're lacking a bit in terms of diversity, which concerns me just because it reduces the breadth of my experiences before the real world hits me...

The diversity thing sounds horrible. I couldn't imagine staying in a place where everybody is pretty much the same. Though I probably shouldn't talk because my school is like 40 percent black soo...most people at my school like me color wise I guess. Then the rest is pretty much Hispanic, Asian and then white. That's one good thing about Miami I suppose, it's like this giant melting pot.XD

Yea, that's true, Miami has everything :P

I think the diversity thing is most detrimental to those who can't differentiate between the school and the real world, you know?

Hopefully you can go to a college that's an a diverse area. I'm shooting for Columbia University in Manhattan.

I've only been to New York once Frown but it left an impression on me. It's definitely a place I wouldn't mind living.

Yes, it is the kind of city where old adventure still exists Big Grin

I've considered law as a profession though, so New York would be the place to be if I were to pursue that.

That's exactly why I love that place! Lol.

I could see you as a lawyer. Big Grin You seem really smart. I'd probably major in international relations and English at Columbia though.

My interest in law was sparked by mock trial, and I just don't know yet. I've thought about international relations, too. Its an incredible field to get into now.

Hey Meaghan! All girls, ouch :P

It's apparently the hardest major to get into. That D I have in chemistry definitely won't help me get in...

Which sucks lol. It shouldn't be that hard to find the website.

As far as chemistry goesI find that class to be the biggest waste of my time. Instead of taking ap art history like I wanted I had to take chemistry.
Ugh, I have it early in the morning and for two hours straight. I'm dead by the time 9:30 comes around. Electron configuration and molecular formula shall be the death of me.
