Hi! My name is Bergit, but I'm somewhat-generally called "Bee" at CTY. (note: ignore her, she is B, y'all, not Bee!!! that's her initial, not an insect ~ love, [[User:Harriet|Harriet]]. ) Which is ok, and much better than "Beer-jeet", or any other mispronunciation of my name. You call me "Beer-jeet",  you die.

I'm not a particularly good singer, but I do like to sing. A lot. So if you've ever seen a really short girl singing somewhat awkward songs... yeah... that was probably  me. I roomed with Harriet in 06 and 07, we were double-trouble.

You should probably stay away from me. I'm a real trouble maker. I violate PDA rules. I tend to come to class (slightly) late. I sneak into the mail room early. I swing my lanyard in open spaces. I draw bad pictures when I'm supposed to be taking notes. I hum (oh no!) during class. I buy Cosmopolitan at the campus store. I read books in the middle of the night (using the light from *outside* my window!). They even have a file on me (and my class) in Baltimore because we called Site Director Brian into our class and staged a mini and very civil rebellion. Why? Because CTY if a gifted and talented program. Every students deserves to be challenged, and if the entire class is held up while once student has questions answered, someone is being really inefficient. Students should be able to ask questions without bringing the class to a screeching halt. I strongly protest mandatory, repeated honor-code signings. Bringing out a new copy for everyone to sign whenever anything goes wrong is beyond pointless, it is shameful. This ideology propelled me into the middle of the group of students protesting their treatment at CTY, though managed NOT to be put on probation. I attribute this to sheer dumb luck, and the fact that I made no attempts to buy children.

Somehow, I wound up at the University of Virginia, where all students sign an honor code when sending in their applications. Go figure, at least they tell you what you are getting into.
