For those who are unaware - my school recently formed a GSA (gay-straight alliance). It really did define my day when I remembered that there was a meeting. All day long I had been overwhelmed with how inconsiderate and rude people are. Even the most intelligent people that I know will judge people. Entire classes of mine will alienate somebody because they are new to publicschooling and are socially awkward. People have flaws - and if it's a flaw that is beyond our control (like homosexuality) it should neverever be held against the person. But people do it all of the time without even realizing it. Everybody, that is, except the GSA. Everybody there has overcome their differences and couldn't be more excited about supporting the differences of others. It is the only place in the school where I don't feel completly exasperated by the cruelty of the student body. Football players and gothics come together for one hour every other Tuesday... if just to care and understand.

i want to join GSA...but i can't.
THANK GOODNESS..there are normal, kind people that exist in our society.
P.S. Snow days make me happy. I think you crossed your fingers doubly doubly tight that night, because we had two Snow Days in a row. Thus, this week is a three -day week of school which makes me happy.
