I'm having a serious case of "Don't judge a book by its cover"

Well, this is what I get for being judgemental. Turns out someone new coming to school next year, who I judged to be a completely stereotypical smart ditz based on her appearance and facebook page (she friended a bunch of people here already) is actually one of my best friends' best friends from camp, very sweet, and into theatre! She's going to be one of my suitemates (we live in double rooms with 2 rooms connected by a bathroom that they share--thus suites) and she seems really nice in a non-typical-(insert name of school)-girl way. (I'm leaving out the name of my school for kinda obvious reasons, but if you care enough, I'm sure there is some way you can stalk it up online. :P)

So now I feel horrible for thinking she would be like "those girls" based on how she looked, and I'm also kinda anxious because if I meet her and we turn out to get along, I'll feel bad for having judged her (at least she doesn't know what I thought of her!), and if we don't, I will have gone along this rollercoaster for absolutely no reason.

On the upside, I'm basically done with my AP Chem work! :)

You know, the people you

You know, the people you misjudge sometimes end up as your closest friends, and then after maybe two months when you've done the time-compressed bonding thing and it's like you've known each other for years, you can both laugh about what you thought of her the first time you met her. ^^

I sat behind one of my best

I sat behind one of my best friends for a year in history class and we never spoke. I always thought she was weird because she always ate poptarts ritually. She thought I was a stoner because.. I probably looked it. Turns out she's the stoner and poptarts are yummy. Yay misjudgements that work out!
