Go Ask Alice

I just started reading Go Ask Alice by anonymous. It's about this girl who just moves to a new school and she is trying to make friends. She makes a good friend named Beth but they have to part ways for summer. So she goes to visit her grandparents and meets up with some old friends. While she is at a party with them someone put LSD in her drink. The story is told in her daily diary entries.

"Wonderful news, Diary! We're moving, Daddy has been invited to become the Dean of Political Science. Isn't that exciting!" pg 3

Why is she so happy to move? Most people that age would hate to move from all their friends and their hometown. But i guess she gets a new start, if she had a bad reputation at her old school or something. A few years ago, I almost had to move to China for my dad's job. Thankfully it didn't go through but i was definitely not excited to leave everyone behind.
