Intro!

Before I left for NCSSM, I was asked by several people to "keep them posted" on my life at "Smath" (as the school is affectionately known by its students).  I've been thinking about the best way to do that because Facebook feels too public, email too difficult (I don't know everyone's email addresses by heart), and other methods of communication too unwieldy to update and send.  Therefore, I give you: *cue drumroll* my new blog!  :D

Welcome to Blogging NCSSM!  My name's Emmalee (if you didn't already know).  If you're someone I know, yay; you can read these posts (whenever I post them) to get a basic idea of what my life is like these days since I won't be seeing most of you nearly as often as I have been in the past.  If you're a random stranger or you've just been living under a rock for the past year, I'm writing this blog to (attempt to) chronicle my experiences as a student (currently a junior) at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, a two-year residential secondary school in Durham, North Carolina.

I don't guarantee that these experiences will always be worth writing about, that I'll even write about them often, or that my posts will always be hilarious or make perfect sense.  My goal here is just to provide a basic (and probably not regularly scheduled) description of/update on this crazy thing I'm doing.

That's it for now!  Later today/tonight, I'm going to try to sum up the past two days in a way that isn't tedious/overly lengthy, and that's actually understandable.  (Yeah, right.)
