Finally, my prayers have been answered, I am actually going on a real vacation for the first time in my life and not a single gene to be shared with the people I am going with. My best friend invited me along with her family for a 9-day cruise and I am so freaking ecstatic about this I can't get the words out. I have never been east of Illinois nor west of Missouri in my entire life...and now I get to leave the country with my best friend. AND I am getting a decent grade in Honors Biology! A solid B while my much hated "friend" is getting a D because she did not once help me with any of the projects, and now she is paying for it. Sure, she blamed her bad grade on me and how I am going to fail the next test but I'm guessing someone just has a deadly case of sour grapes. Anyway, life is good, finally.
