  'sup, youse guys. Today was my last Area 1 with Leslie and Matty. We wrote our Science Manifestos and discussed how things work in conversations. Like whose ideas are ignored, or what sort of people get interrupted, and the difference between males and females in discussions. Like, men talk to establish hierarchy and women talk to establish community. I think it's fairly true.
I mean, some people can fill both criteria but of course hardly any rule can encompass everyone. So the Steve shirts came in today. Steve is the hot art TAC, and TAC for Babcock. Anyway, all of the guys worship him and practice devout Steveism. So the shirts have a picture of him on the front. They're pretty cool.
I almost wish I had gotten one. Actually, Jake had a few art classes with Steve at Wake, and sometime before Jake and Jenny started going out, Jenny went on a date with him. It's pretty funny. And Steve and Helena (my TAC for Clewell) have been dating this summer! Wow! Today was also the last Area 3, and it was kind of sad.
Even though none of those people meant much to me during the rest of the summer, they were all talking about how awesome GS was and how much they were going to miss it. And it was all true. It's going to be really weird to go home... Tomorrow is the "Fancy Dance. " Kind of like the prom of GS. It's just a semi-formal, so I still haven't decided what I'll wear, formal or semi-formal.
I'm excited! And afterwards I'm having a sleepover in my room with NC and Emma and I guess anyone else who wants to come. Unfortunately Megan (one of our other Muskrats) is in Gramley and they won't let her come over to Clewell after curfew. We already made the proper inquiries. So, instead we're just going to leave on Emma and Megan's cell phones and let her know everything that's going on. It will be so sad to have one of our number missing!
Tonight we had the Academic Fair which means I'm finally done with my flowers project. It was interesting and everything, but my group members weren't always the most compatible. Basically, all we did was give out surveys to find out the "underlying psychological appeals of flowers. " I wrote this goofy paragraph thing to put on our poster. From memory, it went something like this: What is it about flowers, the reproductive organs of plants, that is so alluring to us as humans? Flowers, which serve no purpose to us, have long been a token of affection, inspiration to artists, and the center of Clewell patio.
These queries led us to our ultimate questions. Are there any main reasons why people are drawn to certain flowers? What is it about them that people particularly like? Anyway, it was cooler on the poster. And, I believe that's all for today!
