First of all, Loretta!! you go to Churchill!! I'm soooooo envious cuz you have such a cool school -- I mean, the bldg is so beautiful and the floors are shiny and theres lots of lighting (I was there for a volleyball game once)...but RM is on the opposite side of the spectrum! if you've ever seen it...omg, its a disgrace...hehe...but yeah, oooh you know someone who goes to RM, and is a sophomore!?! maybe i know him or her...who is it?

oh and Danielle...according to the alumni people you can wear whatever you want to the last dance... it can be sleeveless/halter/anything..

and Christy...I've always wanted to do something related to medicine/doctor/science jobs...but my career choices have varied over the yrs...pediatrician, vet, psycology, forensic science, forensic psychiatrist...I'd love to be an asset to the community and really get the chance to help people out... thats why I've always loved doctor-type jobs... I love helping people...

phew that was a long entry...

k Hey everyone I'm Jonathan (or as most call me Nickel). Like everyone else here, I'll be attending the forum this summer. I'm from Maryland like some others in here I noticed. I am 16 and a sophmore. I don't do any organized sports anymore really. Now I'm down to skateboarding, which i have been doing forever, Snowboarding, Wakeboarding, BMX/BMX racing, and Moto X (just for fun). I really want to meet as many people on here that are going to the same forum session as me before the forum itself. SO if you read this IM me on AIM at DeluxeSweetDaddy anytime I am on.

But wow I am so excited and kind of nervous at the same time about this. I feel so unprepared but I will probably pull through. I already have a really busy summer but this is definitly now one of the things I am looking foward to the most now. But yeah anything else just ask me sometime on AIM or email me at stiknickel@yahoo.com (no it is not stick)

Hope to talk to everyone soon. cya

Oh and anyone here from Maryland I live in Severn, or to say it more simply, I live 2 streets from Arundle Mills. But I go to school in Baltimore at MSJ

wow! Nickel we posted at the exact same time!! thats awesome...but where in MD to you live...well now theres like 4 people from MD going to NYLF...thats cool! and I think...if I remember correctly...you're the 2nd guy to come onto the message board... anyways, seems like you're pretty active...skateboarding/snowboarding, etc...pretty cool...I'm not talented in any of those sports so anyone who can do them, kudos to them!! yeah, I'm pretty excited too, and nervous at the same time....lol, but if you just read some of the top stories on the net you'll pretty much be filled in...
can't wait to meet you and all the other cool people that i've 'met' so far!!

Whoa that is crazy how we posted at the exact same time. And bout where i live well i said that a few mins after the first. And hold on I am the 2nd guy to post on here? but that is like out of 40 people already. hmmm I wonder if that is reflecting the girl to boy ratio at this Forum lol j/k. Thanks for the compliments and by the way I'm sure if you practiced you could be good at skateboarding too. OH and how you said read all the latest stories on the net, I'm guessing you mean Medical news (just a guess) or news in general? And cant wait to meet you either and everyone else of course, too.

Oh and also before I forget I wanted to ask everyone if it was ok for me to copy down your sn's and IM you sometime. If yes than either IM me or send me a message with your AIM sn in it or your MSN messenger. Anyone who doesn't want me to than just let me know. Itz ok if you dont. I just want to check with everyone first.

gotta go for now be back later everyone

oh and anyone else who would like to message or IM me feel free too!! i'll post it again,
MSN: arinakadam@hotmail.com
AIM: desivolleyballer

Ok this is redundant, but I'm soo excited about the forum! Even though we're going to have to act nerdy part of the time I know it's going to be an AWESOME time to get to know all of you cool people even better..and party some, too! I'm online quite a bit..most of the time I'm away, but feel free to IM meblondiecc004586 Does anyone have any big plans before the forum?

Hi guys, my name is Sarah and I'm 15 and a sophmore. Im from Hopewell, New Jersey...it's a pretty small town, I guess you really wouldn't know of it unless you lived close by. I'm a gymnast, not olympic level or anything but I've been doing gymnastics for a while and it takes up a lot of time so I've never really done any other sports. I guess that's it for now, talk to you guys later, bye!

Hey Sarah and Nickel. Anyone can IM me too on AIM. My screen-name is iwuvdavid23. Yeah, I know..cheesy, but oh wells. And Sarah, I'm from a pretty small town. My town isn't small compared to the others around here, but like compared to Pittsburgh and Cleveland it is small. I live in Pennsylvania. It's sad because no one else is coming to this session from PA. Looks like I have to represent PA though.

hey sarah...hopewell is such a nice town. during the summer my camp used to got to the quarry in hopewell. my town is small but the next town over is "over developed".
blue_eyed_girl is lehigh university by bethlehem? your sn is not cheesy.
talk to you guys later. my aim sn is xxbeachbum1020xx, if anyone wants to chat.
the girls who posted the picture of the shoe...they are really cute!

Whoa whoa whoa! hold on a second! We have to act nerdy at this thing. O man I knew that it was too good to be true. haha
but yea i dunno bout anyone else but my summer is booked befor and after this forum. I only have like a week and a half all summer to hang out and whatever. Because, one week I go to this camp and we go to a few theme parks and ocean city and stuff for a week. Than I have a trip to Pennsylvania for a week from 10th - 16th on the week before our Forum. So that will be crazy. Than after the Forum I think a week later I am goin on a roadtrip down to North and South Carolina for 2 weeks, a week in each. Than shortly after it is back to school.

oh wow Nickel!! Your schedule is definately booked...mine is too...as I just came to realize 2 days ago...since I'm moving to Germany, I have to basically separate all my stuff into 3 piles for the 2 different shipments and the suitcase...and guess when I'm leaving for Germany...july 27th! yup...the day right after NYLF...goody...hopefully I won't accidentally pack up anything that I want to bring to NYLF...aaahhh!! I can feel the stress already...or maybe that's just b/c of exams... hmmm....

Nickel- Looks like you're going be staying busy! I'm just hangin around my little hometown until July doing volunteer stuff and working a little here and there! Where are you going in NC/SC?

American_Desi (sorry I can't find your name!You're going to have to tell it to me again!)- You and Nickel both are showing me out here! Where are going in Germany?

Ladies- I'm still struggling with the shoes! I found some at Talbots, but had to order them so I'm not too sure they're going to work. Anyone let me know if you have found any places that sell them! Those gold ones posted earlier were cute-- where did you find them?

ok, so I think it's obvious now that I like to talk

Right after the forum, I am going on vacation for 2 weeks too. I come home the 26th, and I leave the 29th. I am going to South Carolina (Myrtle Beach to be exact). So I might see ya down there too. And where exactly are you going to in PA because I live ther. I live just about on the border of Ohio and PA.

And Christy, I got them at Payless. I wore those ones (in black) yesterday and today for a funeral and calling hours, and they were so comfy. I changed earlier into the pink ones and got killer blisters, right on my heels. They're really not even blisters, they just completely wore off some of the skin. Oh well, I'd rather this happen now than down there. So make sure you guys break in your shoes. I am trying to wear them as much as possible to get them comfy.

Hi Veronica, that's so cool that you've been to Hopewell, I didn't think anyone would have known about it. The quarry is pretty close to my house, I've been there a couple times but the catfish in there kinda creep me out cause you can't see them unless you're close to the edge.
I'm not really doing anything at all this summer besides the forum, I might go to South Carolina but other than that I'll be in my hometown. About the shopping for the clothes and shoes we need, I basically haven't started that at all so you guys that aren't far along don't feel bad.
