So... Mom heard back today. They want me. I haven't told Suz or Rick yet, I didn't know how, I guess. Or maybe I didn't think they'd want me. But they do. So I emailed Rick, Suz and her boyfriend, and asked them to dinner, and I'll tell them all then.

Suddenly my future is looking bright.

I have to tell Suz. I have to tell Suz...

Why haven't I done it yet?

Initailly I justified it to myself by saying I promised Rick we'd keep it to ourselves.

Then I told myself we don't want to flaunt it in Julie's face.

But the truth is... I'm scared.

Scared Suz will loose respect for me. Scared that after everything I've put her through... this will be too much for her to take on.

I guess I can't avoid it any longer...

I've got to call her.

I keep thinking of that old song my parents danced to at their wedding...

At last... My love has come along... My lonely days, are over.... And life is like a song...

Rick broke up with Julie.

I'm estatic... but at the same time, I feel terrible. I know they were having issues, and it wasn't just because of me... But the fact is, even though Rick and I only ever kissed a few times, we connected intimately... And I don't know if that more than anything was a contributing factor...

But I am insanely happy.

I can't help it. And now, I can finally tell Suz, which I've been dying to do.

I don't even want to write it... I still don't think it's possible... but there it is.

Or is it?

I'm so confused.

I need to talk to someone...

In the spirit of keeping Daddy happy being a good student... haha... Here is my class schedule.

English 4 (CC) - Ms. Wigglesworth
Precalculus - Mr. Minder
American Government - Mrs.Kennedy
Chemistry - Mr. Swift
French 4 - Mrs.Conway
Life Management Skills  - Mrs.Melody
Tennis - Mrs. Atcher

My parents sat me down tonight to have a talk.

Daddy's worried I'm getting spoiled. Just goes to show how little he really is around... I've been spoiled my whole life.

He wants me to do better at school, he wants me to go to College.

Of course I'm going to College... but he wants me to do something at College, have a career. He didn't say it in front of her, but he doesn't want me to end up like Mom, a pretty trophy wife.

What's wrong with that?

Much to my dismay, the begging of my girls, and all of your luck, I'm here.

Happy ladies?
