DagnyT- Yeah, the boarding price is what's really too expensive. This is pretty much my last year to go though, so who knows. Maybe they'll send me.

Summer after Junior year -

Hopefully German 1-3 and 2-3 online GE courses at the community college. My parents want to visit the east coast during the time period of the German 3 class, though. I don't want to go, but I figure it shouldn't be that hard to convince them not to force me to go, sighs. Oh, and I might to go DC for a three day youth summit if I get in...I haven't even applied yet though. xD

I'll also be getting organized for college apps and finalizing the list (6 apps, 9 schools at this point. Also get started on some of the essays. I'll be studying abroad for a year so I'm not sure which essays might get influenced by that, but I think I can at least get on the "Why ______?" essays.

I'm not quite sure yet, but hopefully I will have the opportunity to spend most of my summer volunteering at a local hospital. I will definitely try to read a lot this summer and write more. Of course, I hope to hang out with most of my friends and just soaking up the sun.

Now that I've got somewhere exciting to go too, I wanted to bump this thread:

APTA Youth Summit (free four-day trip to Washington DC for an environmental pro-public-transportation conference. Eeee! They even pay your travel costs!)
All-summer internship at a university's Biological Field Station (and better paid than most summer jobs!)
An online Calculus course to catch up with my school's Advanced Math track.
Volunteering at a technology musuem.

This reminds me of the Community Joys and Concerns part of church. Who else has summer happiness to share with the CC community?

Oh, change in plans. Not doing a class at Columbia. Instead:

- Precalc either at my school or online
- Job at the mall with a friend for some cash
- Hopefully, going to one or two guitar summits at the National Guitar Workshop
- Prepping for some guitar competitions next year
- August doing an internship/research at Yale University
- Movies with friends to submit to film festivals, youtube, etc.
