News item numero uno: I am definitely going to Toronto (probably in June) to check out the University of Toronto! Yay! I was going to go by myself or possibly with my best friend, but then my dad decided to renew his passport and make it a business trip (he has a client in Toronto. (my dad is a statistician with his own business)). So, my dad and I are going to Toronto. Should be fun!
I am also hoping to get in a trip to Washington, DC, at the very least, before college applications are due, because I want to check out a couple of schools there. I don't think I'll be going anywhere exotically fun in the near future, though.
News item numero dos: Yo soy la bestia! Soy la mejor alumna en Espanol IV en mi escuela (la maestra dijo). Translation: I am the best! I am the best Spanish IV student in my school (the teacher said).
This makes me very happy! Spanish is my favorite subject, and I am actually hoping to get into the governor's school program this summer, which means I would live at college dorms in a city a couple hours away from home and study Spanish for six weeks. Acceptance letters aren't mailed until the last week of March, sadly, but my fingers are crossed.
News item numero tres (and the most important in terms of Red): I interviewed Amy G. on my book blog! Thanks, Amy, for having such interesting answers. For those of you who are interested, it's at http://teenbookreview.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/interview-amy-goldwasser/.
I will be back with a more interesting blog post later.
