Bwah! °___°; So there's been a change of plans — instead of leaving for Blacksburg ((AKA VT Orientation Land!)) tonight, I'm leaving in an hour. Yikes! I don't really have time to be making this post, but I'm hoping that it'll help me settle down a little. I'm so nervous; I have such a hard time making friends at warp speed. I can do it over the course of like, a week, but I struggle when I need to pick up some buddies in, you know, the course of an hour or so. Ugh... It's times like this when I wish I was a little more outgoing, our at least better versed in the art of small talk. I'm hoping things will go well, but we'll just have to wait and see, I suppose. I'm definitely excited to sign up for my classes though. My AP scores were good enough that if things go well with all my paperwork and score reports, I won't have to take any English at all in college, nor will I have to take any history. I plan on replacing English with German. XD That'll be fun.

See you all in a few days! Wish me luck! XD

Love,

Popo

Don't worry, lots of other people are in the same position as you, so you definitely won't be alone. Basically...just go with the flow of conversation, ask questions about the other person (nothing too personal, obviously) - people like talking about themselves. I'm still working on not being so shy, but I've found I've gotten a bit better at it as I've gotten more practice.

I can't say much about AP scores/credit since...well, I was in English minor, so I took English classes anyway, and my AP credit was only good for the equivalent of 1 class in my school. XD
