just so y'all know...

first of all, props to the southerner for teaching me to use y'all, despite my new york accent. second, props to david and sid and dustin for settting this up. i like the blog format way better than i thought i would, and way better than yahoo. i think it's working way better.

as for some local news from croton-on-hudson, new york: actually, there isn't much to report. i got a letter from the new york state senate today. suzi oppenheimer (whoever she is, some state senator) wanted to congratulate me on going to TASP. she was a bit late, but it's the thought that counts. oh and my english teacher posted the cast list today for the play we're doing, the man who came to dinner. it's a fun one. and i'm sheridon whiteside, the lead! i have a HELL of a lot of lines, and i'm in almost every scene, it's craaazy stuff. but i'll deal. somehow i'll find time to do my auto-biography for school, college and national merit apps, the play, be editor of the literary magazine, take piano lessons, music theory, and teach some little kids how to speak some french. oh yeah, plus five aps.

hmm reading over that list now, i'm very intimidated. how do all of you overachievers like me deal with so much crap? i'm not really sure how i do...sometimes i don't, and it's not good...
