My heart was seriously racing. I asked where the card was, and if I couldn't just address it and put it in the mail myself. She pointed me in the right direction, told me where the stamps were, and let me do my thing without interruption. Of course, I wasn't just sending a birthday card to my brother.

I'd also snuck in a request for an information packet for Governor's School.

I stamped both and brought them outside, after my heart dropped about a thousand times putting my sandals on right in front of both the parents. The door handle squeaked familiarly, and I shoved it open without looking back.

And you know what?

The entire time walking to my mailbox, I sang.

That's taking my life into my own hands.

It feels good to be able to look forward to a future doing what I want and love to do.

Reallyreally.

Happily,
Katie

EDIT: Also.
This isn't sneaking around. I mean, I've talked to them about it, but I can't wait for them to make a decision whether or not I could absolutely go. I know I have the ability to at least get close to getting in, since I'm really going to work HARD to, and money...well, that's not the biggest problem ever. I CAN, they just don't want to lose me.
Sooner or later, they will anyway.
This is the best way to do it, for my sake.

way to go!
be a rebel!

hehe.

and blue in the lips/fingernails was because of my lack of oxygen. congestion does that to me.
