I Got It (Well, Almost)

So, about HOBY. On Tuesday We were supposed to find out about who would be the HOBY representative. I hadn't heard anything by lunch, and neither had Ian. We were wondering about it, so I asked the counselor who was in charge of it. She said I would find out 4th, 5th, or 6th hour. I had 4th hour off, and PE 5th, so I didn't find out till 6th hour, my American Literature class. Ian is in my class, so I asked him if he knew anything. Turns out he got it, which is awesome, but I was a bit bummed out. Then I got my note. Turns out I am the #1 alternate, so if he can't go, I can. So, in a sense I got it, even if I really didn't. I've been kind of floating on air since then.
