Oh, I totally agree - young teachers can be the easiest to bond with when they know what you're going through. My Creative Writing teacher was actually much older, but she was a real child at heart and was very motherly with all of us. But she was especially empathetic with those who took their writing seriously, and she really looked out for me. That sort of experience is invaluable, so make sure you let her know how important she's been before you move onto post-secondary!

Aw, you're too kind! Your work is very good, so I'm not really much assistance in helping you fix your technique, but I think it's valuable for young and aspiring authors to receive feedback on their work. It can be tiring to write a bunch and feel that it's all for nothing; even if it's just, "You're moving in the right direction!", people deserve to know people care.

I think American college must be a little bit different in that, but if you're able to leave it until the end of the first semester, then go for it! There's certainly no rush in having your life all figured out, so take your time and figure yourself out before you make any permanent decisions. Having mucked up my first start into college, I certainly believe that diving in head-first and making mistakes is all part of the experience! ( :

Hey, don't sweat it; I've been really, really out of tune with the wiki myself. It sounds like you had a great time (though, if you don't mind me asking, what's a 'senior lock'?) and that's what counts! You're only young once, and too soon you'll be too preoccupied to do things like that, so it's best you live it up while you can! Can't believe you sang Beastie Boys! You don't happen to have video or audio recordings, do you?!
