<p>I know someone Syrian (well she’s American, but her parents are I think) and she always posts her pictures from when she goes to visit. I always creep on them and it looks absolutely amazing!</p>
<p>Edit: I also know someone from Sydney and she posts her pictures too when she goes back a few times a year. Needless to say I get pretty jealous when they’re both posting their pictures over the summer, haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, Syria would be a lovely place to go. I say “if possible” next to Damascus due to the social unrest. Syria will obviously be over the war in 2 years time, but like any country that exits a civil war like that, it will be struggling to get back on its feet. Beirut almost had the same fate due to 2006 Israeli-Lebanon war, but it stabilized surprisingly quickly. So, I can hope for the time being.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t know if my parents would ever let me go.</p>
<p>Also, I really want to go to Canada (Your list is so similar to mine). I want to live in BC or in the Pacific Northwest somewhere when I’m older. I tried to convince my parents into letting me apply to boarding schools in British Columbia, but I’m just sticking with East Coast ones haha.</p>
<p>I’ve been to Italy, France, Mexico, and Monaco but I’m still hoping to travel more. The travel is tiring but once you get to your location it’s amazing. I would love to go to Germany one day.</p>
<p>My dream is to retire in Monaco. Or Portofino. Residing in a small cottage on the riviera, boating or gambling one day, watching the Monacan Grand Prix the next. Add ownership of a Jaguar E-Type convertible, and you would have minimalist opulence at its finest.</p>
<p>A journalist? No, not at all. Especially since print media is on its death bed. Unattainable spots, per se, have always been the most fascinating for me. These areas can be considered meccas in the areas of fine dining, sport, and entertainment, among other things. Booming with culture and innovation, but also affected by years of political and social toil. Observance of such a mixture of societal traits and its effect on the people and culture is just something I’d like to experience.</p>
<p>^ I was wondering the same thing myself.</p>

<p>You probably could’ve included Buenos Aires on that list, ArtsyGal. I know of some friends that’ve been held at gun point in that city (they’re not teenagers, fortunately).</p>
<p>Edit: What do you mean by that?</p>
<p>Studious, where did you go to school in China? I was in China for 6-8th grade.</p>
<p>I went to the International School of Beijing.</p>
<p>I went to WAB…</p>
<p>My enemy… Haha just kidding. I had a few friends who went to WAB. Do you know Ethan W.?</p>
<p>hey guys, do you recommend self studying for ap biology? the teachers at my school suck so… yeah…</p>
<p>and how the heck do you sign up for self study? i thought you just did it…</p>
<p>@chessecake101. If there is such a thing as a self study class, I have never heard of it.</p>
<p>So, I had an idea while sorting my mail this afternoon: I should set up a photo blog that records the college letters I get day by day, cumulatively, until I just stop getting letters. I’ll also detail each post with new colleges and repeats from others. It’d be a fun experiment that I think would put things in perspective. I thought I should get some votes/views/suggestions from you guys before I do anything, so please voice yourself!</p>
<p>@anaychi: That would be so cool, especially since colleges loiter ridiculously. </p>
<p>I got an email from Rice about my PLAN scores stating that your scores were amazing! That says that I have something to look forward to. But, I have received countless emails from them concerning my PSAT scores. They obviously didn’t check their database!</p>

<p>@anaychi: Do it!</p>
<p>I need a witty name before I do anything else. Ideas?</p>
<p>Well, thanks for that extremely insightful commentary, ArtsyGal.</p>
<p>Oh my God anaychi I love your idea <3</p>
