03-14-05 Dear Diary,

Oh man what a day! I'm still in shock, I just can't believe it. Ok, so here's what happened. I show up at school, right? And I go over to my locker and Stacey is there waiting for me, looking kind of worried. She goes "I have to tell you sumthin' Ab," and I was like, "Yeah me too." So I tell her to go first and she tells me how she got a scholarship to this amazing school in Cleveland, and so of course I start jumping up and down screaming and she's like, " Wow, I didn't think you'd be this excited for me." So I start waving the letter that's in my hand in her face and she grabs and reads it. Pretty soon we're hugging and shrieking together as the people around us just stare.

So t lunch we were talking all about it, of course we ate alone today. We can't believe that out of the small number of girls in the world that two best friends would be called. I guess Boston just makes some tough little cookies out of girls. We still don't know what to expect. Stacey said that she didn't think vampires could be killed, apparently Brad Pitt said so in Interview With A Vampire. That's Stacey, she can always bring every subject around to Brad Pitt. We decided that tomorrow night she'll spend the night over here and we'll watch vampire movies.

Then we got to talking about the really important stuff: boys. I told her how I decided to break up with Billy and she decided that she should break up with Tony too. We're gonna do it on Friday, the day after tomorrow. I'm so nervous. I went on my last date with Billy tonight, but he didn't know it was our last. I did and so I think I was acting totally weird. We went and saw Austin Powers 5, Agent 003 at the megaplex. Afterwards we went for a walk in the park, and well I let him touch me, it was the furthest I've gone, but I figured it was like a gong away present to him. Plus I really like and trust him. I'm going to miss him so much. I'm not going to tell him I love him, that would be to mean to say and then leave. But not saying it doesn't mean I don't feel it.

I've been trying to be extra nice to my sister lately. I've been using all the right sayings like , " Gee Bree, I sure wish I was as intellectual as you." Or, "Who am I going to have as my role model when we're so far apart?" I think she's softening up, today she took me to get acrylics and she even paid for me. The rents seem to be pleased that we're getting along again, I don't think Bree's pretexts before were fooling anyone.

Now I've got one final nagging question about what to bring with me to the center, which is known as SLAYER Accademy. I guess they tell people that SLAYER stand for Students Learning, Achieving, Excelling and Rendering. Some people are so gullible. But my question is, can I bring along Muffin? Because I am NOT leaving my dog behind. Muffin is the sweetest little Beagle there ever was and I would be lost without him. That's it I'm calling up Mr. Giles right now.

Okay, I just got off the phone with a woman named Faith. She said it was totally okay to bring my dog as long as I didn't tell Giles. Well I don't now what that means, but hey I got an okay and I'm not putting it to waste. Faith sounded cool, she said I was gonna have a lot of fun there. I'm getting more and more excited about going, I mean my best friends will be there, Muffin will be there, and the people there seem pretty nice. Well only three more days before I go!
