So it's Friday night. I just got home from a concert I was in and now I'm in my pajamas, and as I write these words, it's not even 10:40. Yeah, thanks. I know I'm a total square okay?

Lots have been going down. I received an e-mail from mmy Youth Exchange Officer in Argentina! He's from Cordoba, so now I know my city, or atleast my state. His name is Jorge. It sounds so Latin American doesn't it? Everyone will know I'm an exchange student because of my name. Annie Jones, does it get any more British? I haven't told Andre that I know my city yet. I should tell him. He'd be excited.

I'm really getting excited about prom with him. My dress doesn't fit me anymore, so that really bums me out. There's a dress downtown and it fits, except that I have a booty and it won't go over it! Why does that always happen? I found another dress I like, but it's not nearly as cute, and it won't go with the shoes my Daddy bought for me as a present. They're Chinese shoes. ^_^* Is it really so hard to find a sleeveless kimono?!

Daddy found a baby turtle on the golf course and he's so tiny! He's about the size of a quarter. He said that he was in the middle of some action, so he stepped out and got him. He brought him home and this little guy is sleeping in the empty aquarium across the room. I can see a little black blob (I'm not wearing my glasses) at the bottom of the tank.

I've developed a habit of leaving campus at lunch, and it's actually breaking the law for me to leave by car, both as a passenger and a driver. Juniors and Seniors can leave by car, but sophmores can't. It doesn't stop me though. I could pass for a short senior, numerous people are shocked when I say I'm only a spohmore. It's stupid that sophmores don't get shit, but we'll have our year...in 2006.

Know what 'Senioritus' is? The seniors get all ansty for prom and for graduation. An epidemic has spread as quick as that over the week. It's notorious for hitting exchange students too, only you name it after the country their going to.

The people who have 'Denmarkitus' and 'Brazilitus' and characterized as just being along for the ride. They aren't overly excited.

However, 'Thailanditus', 'Taiwanitus', and 'Finlanditus' and characterized as being pumped. No regrets, not even any room for nervousness.

'Argentinitus' is a wierd disease, atleast that's what Heather, the girl the went to Argentina last year. She said that You're more excited than anyone could explain, but you're scared because of the acclimation period. Still, you wanna tell everyone everything you know about this exchange. It's really what I feel. The only cure is doing it.
