I have discovered many things about myself while at GHP. My 'competitive gland' is shrinking significantly, and I find myself just loving the differences within me. YAY! LoVING MYSELF. Occasionally I still loathe certain habits, such as my blogging, are rare as it may be.
So, the details of Governor's Honors are as follows:
The first day, move in is hell, followed by the second worse thing in your/my/anyone's GHP experience, das fire drill. Fire drill usually wakes you up in the middle of the night and it's horrible. This year it woke us up at midnight (big whoop, people still complained). The third worse thing is finding your way around the first day. And the fourth worse thing is ..."Who do I eat dinner with..?" In the case of those of us who were the sole GHP finalists from our schools. I am no social butterfly, but GHP is one of the few places where it's perfectly acceptable to sit with total strangers. "Hi, my name is Liz; I'm a visual arts major. What's your name and can I sit here?"
I've already said that about...130 times, roughly and realistically (except the can I sit here part). You meet a lot of people. The best feeling so far in GHP has been meeting that first person that seems to completely "get you". For me that person was my roommate, because I was really lucky. The second person was a German major named Thomas who DOES NOT HAVE A SOUTHERN ACCENT. XD I love the teachers here, as would anyone who meets them. There are three art teachers and roughly 1:15 teacher to student ration. Chris, Andy, and Clyde are the art teachers for GHP 2008.

My bed was lofted. Now it's not. That makes me EXTREMELY happy. You all have no idea.
My favorite thing about GHP so far, aside for the huge amounts of art I'm going to be doing is my minor. I'm a comm arts minor and took my first class with Stephanie. She's awesome and gave me the nickname Bobbette. XD I'm a psychopath and she can deal with that. We had the UNDEAD class this week which was about zombies and vampires. HELL YES! GO BEN AND NOSFERATU! XD (look up Nosferatu, it's on google video). XD 84 minutes of pure slightly effiminate bliss. There are tons of seminars and fun things to do here aside from class (which is hella fun). Palms isn't the best food, but they serve us 2100 meals a day...so..
we don't expect Wolfgang Puck from them.
I don't have much more to say for now. I'm sick of sitting in the lab chair. ARGH!
