Dear... *pats on back*

You will be fine. It's absolutely fantabulous. Being in Gryffindor helps, too, because obviously we're the best.

Anyway, you will love it and you will definitely not be overwhelmed. The houses are set up just for the purpose of not being too scary for noobs.

/gradster(1)/ - wise, uh huh *nods knowingly*

thanks I feel so much better now (gives sarcastic grin) especially with the bus coming at 6:45 in the morning and all...

*sigh* Yes.

That's honestly the only hard part.

Gods.

6:45? And I thought my 7:10 bus was early...What time do you get up?

Although this semester I have a study hall first period; I can literally arrive at 9:10 if I so choose.

Except it might be switched to gym...ugh. First period gym? I think not.

I am thinking I will be waking up around 5:45... giving me an hour... (doing my hair takes FOREVER) I am sooo not looking forward to this...

Last year (in middle school) the bus came at 7:45... and I complained, this should be interesting...

Yes, they are about an hour earlier than what you're used to. /grumpy/

I'll have to plan some way to find you on my first day (your second). By the gods, now I sound like I'm stalking you. Oh well. Trust me, don't be nervous. Binders, notebooks, and pencils (about one each for every class) and you should be fine. It's like core debates... or model UN... Which you'll come upon later in the year. Once you're through them it isn't so bad - just try to shove the nervosity down for now.

/gradster(1)/ - ahh, frosh

http://nmhwu.wordpress.com/

One binder for each class?

Is that absolutely necessary? (I'm hoping not...)

Hee hee -my bus picks up kids from elementary, middle, and high school, so I've been catching it at the same time all my life.

Honestly...

I love Jasper too - he's so cool. I was forced into playing him at the Breaking Dawn opening party (mostly because I was one of the two guys there, apart from adults dragged along by their kids).

Anyway.

I meant a place and a time. How about four corners? People usually hang out there anyway, so why not?

send me a message on

send me a message on facebook (or an email or something) we can work it out there (as opposed to here, where anyone can read this conversation...)

NonSequitur, you're going to

NonSequitur, you're going to ["As you wish..."] next year right? Bad news about the 9:10 -- only seniors can skip. It's one of life's cruel jokes...

Hee hee,

Hee hee, thanks, Westley. :D

Buttercup

... Oh, Buttercup.

The scene where they finally meet again... That's kind of either rape or necrophilia - she's basically molesting a (given, willing) corpse.

/gradster(1)/ - always thought it was Wesley, and liked it the soft way
