Crushing defeat...

No I'm not talking about the football game.

Here in Yorktown, Virginia, there's a special school called the Governor school. This school is for kids who are extremely smart.

Now personally, I don't think getting into this school is all that hard. The only requirement is to have about a 3.2 GPA and to be in Algebra II/Trig by your Sophomore year in High School.

Well thats exactly me. Expect for the Algebra II part....

During my Freshmen year, I fooled around and I was forced to move. Little did I know that fooling around was going to cost me more then my friends. I not only failed to get into Algebra II (which, if I was following my High School outline, should be Pre-Cal instead), but I also failed to get into the school.

Why is this school so important? For many reasons. Some of the more commonly known ones are:

a.) It'll look EXTREMELY good on your transcript for College if you can manage to handle the amount of work they give you.

b.) It's the ONLY school that's public and actually FOCUSES on Computer Technology. No I don't mean typing lessons or how to use Excel. I mean deep stuff like C++ (which isn't all that deep).

All this time, I've been naive enough to believe I was eligible for entering. Today, I asked my school councilor and I finally learned the horrible truth. I won't go into details, but hearing the answer made me almost cry. I guess the only reason I didn't is because all this time, I secretly knew that I couldn't make it. I only denied it...

So not only is that gone, but another tremendous opportunity disappeared from me. I won't go into details but lets just say it's got something to do with girls (NOT SEX!!!!!!!)

Right now, I just feel like I want to die. But I'm a pussy so I can't do that either. So life's just going down the shitter right now... and I doubt anythings going to fix it...
