Dartmouth... here I come!

Just out:

Final Decision for my University Education = DARTMOUTH.

I'm heading to an Ivy League....

It's ranked 11th in America (by US News report)

It's really nice to finally know where I'll be heading next year. Last night I was nearly in tears with frustration. Lewis and Clark or Dartmouth... Dartmouth or Lewis and Clark.

Finally, with the help of a better financial package, I chose Dartmouth.

Cons: East Coast, intense acedemics, more competitive, cold winters, more conservative (not too much though I hear), Seen the movie Animal House?... it was based on the Dartmouth Frat scene... exagerated, of course ;)
Pros: Ivy League (just for novelty's sake), good study abroad, D-plan (interesting four term schedule), Varsity Equestrian Team, Skiway 5 min away (even if it is east coast skiing), bigger campus = more opportunities, closer to all my UWC friends at uni's in the east (Brown, etc)

At the moment I'm heading toward majoring in Government with a focus of International Relations and Latin America in particular.

Should be a very interesting four years.

Just need a few months off first; IB recovery period ;)

Picture: Harlem (Peru), Me, and Marie (Switzerland) on the Last day of Classes... after absolutely no sleep and a night of showing our first years how much we love them. (see last year's entry of what was done for me!)

More good news: I just finished my Political Thought exam. More than three hours of Liberalism, Marxism, Anarchism, and Conservatism. My hand is still cramped. Paper one was reallllllyyy bad but paper two was marvelous. Hopefully it evens out... :)

Five more exams to go; English, Math, Spanish, E-systems, Music.

The day I finish my music exam... the 22nd of May.... Dad is coming to visit for almost a week! Yay! And I have to say goodbye to AC forever... but let's not think about that. ...

Love you all and glad to be coming back to lovely America to see everyone one in less than a month. Until then, wish me luck on my exams! Ah!
