Day 45: A letter to yourself a year ago

An year ago around this time I was just recovering from the amazingness of Governor’s School and anticipating NCSSM. I was pumped for the experience of making new friends and living away from home. It was an indescribable feeling, I know how the incoming juniors must be feeling right now. And, I actually did write a letter to myself in Governor’s School. I don’t know but I know my Summer 09’ revolved completely around Governor’s School. I have this letter hanging up on my wall and rereading it is bringing a flood of memories. Exactly what I need when I need to start focusing on preparing myself for the last year or highschool. Sigh.. 

“Grace, This first week at Governor’s School has been amaaaazing. I have met so many new people. My hall TAC is super cool and I love my orchestra class. My skin is peeling right now because I got sunburnt riiight when I got here. Plus, I got a cold sore but it was all good because Sarah had some cream. (<— OMG SammieSong if you read this >.<) I have yet to order chinese/pizza and I’ve been eating at the refectory. I’m not missing facebook(I didn’t bring my laptop, went the whole 6 weeks with only like 4 days of getting on facebook literally) and I’ve met my twin Grace Hartman and Sammie Song is super funny. I have a feeling that these 6 weeks are going to by way too fast. I’ve been to a freak&geeks seminar and a Harry Potter one. I’ve been told that you need to meet 10 new people everyday to meet everyone here. I’ll see if I can do that :) My Area II and III are super chill and I think that I’ll like them. I’ve tried to play tennis and I’ve been to the gym. Me and my cello don’t like a certain “30 minutes” and I’ve just been having so much fun. The refectory food is kind of nasty. Also the salsa seminar was really fun. We had a “fire drill” and I was in the shower so I went out with only a towel!! (worst experience…ever) Me, Sammie and Grace went to the dance studio and had bonding time. At the refectory one time there were people who came in and started singing “Kumbaya” ! It was super cute. And there was also a “What would you do for a Krispy Kreme Donut” There were some super freaky&talented people. & My roommate and Sarah also pray in my room. And I sleep @ 12 er’day.” <3 06.18.09” 

Looking back at this letter makes me realize how much I’ve grown. Governor’s School really was a life-changing experience and I’ve met some of the most important people in my life there. Gosh, this is bringing back so many memories. I miss Governor’s School. Haha, I thought I was so cool back then…
