In July and August 2006, fourteen talented teenagers came together to study the craft of essay writing at a "nerd camp" in upstate New York. This is our blog. Bow.

Bye, everybody!!!!

I'm leaving in a few hours for Ireland. YAY!!! It's going to be amazing. I'm excited. I'll write a big long post about it when I get back. To everyone who's going to CTY : have fun! I am fully expecting you to write a big long post about it when you get back.

Oh, and all the comments pages have gone all wonky on me, which is why I haven't commented on anyone's post in forever. They like flash, and a box keeps popping up, and no matter how many times I click okay, it doesn't stop.

And I have way to much summer HW. I am seriously worried about getting all of it done and it's only like the second week of summer. Cause I've been working on it for about 5-6 hours a day most days and I'm not even halfway through...

anyway, yeah! I think I wrote about this before but I wrote a novely/booky/story ish kinda thing which i've been working on editing over the year. But now it, in it's most recent form, is up on Lulu.com, this self publishing place! So if any of yall wanna read it/buy it here's the website: http://www.lulu.com/content/1003308 chyea.

I get a few bucks from each book sold and all of that money will go to my college books, so spread the word if you can! And it is still a little rough, maybe a lotta rough, for like grammer/spellin and shtuff like that, but i know all my writing-camp-buddies will help!! Haha, sall good if you don't. I'm just super excited right now :D

Cape Cod

Happy fourth of july everyone. TYhe fourth wasn't that big for me this year. Actually it was like every other day except that my sister and my mom didn't have to work so they were hanging around all day. I'm up in Cape Cod now with my stepmom, dad, and half sister. My stepmom's best friends husbands family lives up here and we come visit them during their reunion every year, My little sister was such an awful brat on the way up in the car, i felt like shooting her, or myself.

i'm working on a new story, i don't know if i mentioned that, and i think it's going pretty well. It's interesting and my sister says it's a lot better then my last one which makes sense because I've had more practice. It's nice to be in Cape Cod except that it's kinda rainy and foggy so there's not much for swimming. Hey, do any of you guys live around here? If so maybe I could come and visit!! If not..... that's ok too.

You know, I've noticed that we've msotly stopped commenting on peoples posts and have just left different messages up in our own blog entries. At least we're still going, I don't think i've stayed in this much contact with as many of the people from one session any other year.

anyway, I'm supere bnoredm just hanging around. My family went to camp and i stayed at the cabin so now i'm just here.... with people i don't know too well.... around..... so call me :) I don't know if any of you have my number so it's 203-979-9268 chea. Give it a ring,

Anyway..... Justine, i'm still not clear on where you're going for cty and have noooo idea what course, so you need to tell me :) hahaha.
