Here's my proud resume of things from which I have been rejected.
International Baccalaureate (2007)
Yearbook Committee (2007)
CSF (one semester, 2007)
Honors Chemistry (2008)
NHS (completely, 2008)
RYLA (2009)
I can't wait to rattle this list off when I'm giving a guest speech at Yale. Ar har har.
Ok so basically this is amazing; upon my rejection from RYLA, one would assume that my next series of choices would be to: review my resume of rejection, look at my cottage cheese thighs, check my shitty grades online, scream at my split ends, throw my old-technology cellphone against a wall, cry violently, and nap for three hours. And this is not a completely unreasonable assumption- however something happened. Actually, several things happened.
1.) Kendra and I rented and watched Nick and Nora's Infinite Play list. On a school night! Unheard of!
2.) Two chocolate truffles happened.
3.) Feist. All I have to do is listen to Mushaboom and I think, "Yeah! Fuck this confining acronym bullshit! What I need is to stop swearing and take up second floor living without a yard! Make toast and fly around the streets of the city, while Peaches futilely tries to pull me back down!" She can't because I'm filled with the helium that is freedom from Honors and Awards and Leadership, the ultimate freedom from, like in Handmaids Tale haha. Freedom from the responsibility of prestige. I like the way that sounds.
Let's go camping.

whats RYLA?
rotary youth leadership awards
mrs. mcclure recommended me. they chose 5 kids, and out of those five they take three. so basically i had a 3/5 chance of getting it but i didn't. people say it's prestigious but obviously not since you haven't heard of it lol.
