go w.t. woodson cavaliers!
i got my newsweek in the mail yesterday (courtesy of chicago public radio, who gives out a free year's subscription if you pledge any amount. if you listen and don't pledge, you suck.) and the cover was "The Best High Schools in America". i felt pretty confident that mine would be there because fairfax county schools are pretty awesome, and low and behold, #34 baby!!! this is the first pride i've felt in my high school in, wait, no, it's the first pride i've ever felt in my high school.
i felt pretty high and mighty too when i noticed that thomas jefferson - the magnet school for science and technology in fairfax county that rejected me - was not on the list. (jerks...look at me now! you think i can't do science? i think my PhD track in chemistry says otherwise. don't you wish you had taken me now? huh? don't you?) but then i noticed that the list excluded schools with application status that didn't accept motivated, average students. but i bet they probably wouldn't have made the list anyway cause they SUCK! take that!

meisa, please. you should feel no remorse -- or any other feelings other than happiness -- at not going to tj. had you gone, we would have fallen horribly out of touch four years earlier than we did. aren't you glad i was there for your formative high school years? and anna? and steve? we, your high school friends, are obviously in a league above the tj crowd (julie excluded). think of the people at your work that you don't like now -- did you want to have to rely on those sciency-types as your crowd in high school?!?
