gah! i got back from germany about a month ago, where i turned 17. coolio, huh? they threw me a brithday party and we all got hammered. still, coolio, no? but then the little freakin' freshman who was there decided to go home and tell her parents, and now i have 15 days of in-school suspension, plus assessment and counciling for my "problem." i got drunk once. so what if it was on a school event? its like going to germany, riding the autobahn , coming home and getting a speeding ticket for it. pathetic. what have i learned? don't trust freshmen, and authority WILL judge you based on a right and wrong that is not yours (actually a theme of my vlanece and braith story). although, while everyone is blaming the school, and the host family, and the freshman, it is my fault 'cause i got drunk on a school event and i got caught.
