24 of August - Monday

I sort of like starting the week with Economics. I mean, it's sort of a pleasant start to the week and not something like starting straight up with Maths or Chemistry...at least with Econ there is the option to go slowly, slide by slide or even just working listening to some music!

Today we had some college visitors! Yale, Princeton and Columbia Universities all came by with one speaker each to talk to us. This was their first visit in their College Talk tour so, as they said themselves, they were completely ready to give us information on the colleges and hand out pamphlets and fliers with more info. I don't think that missing one period of Chemistry had much of an influence here. I think it was a fair trade for the info we got.

HEY! I forgot to mention that a good friend of many of us came by! Aryssa! She visited last week but now she's returned, participated with us in the Yale/Princeton/Columbia talk and had lunch with some of us.

It's great having old friends come and visit again, isn't it? Some friends just aren't forgotten and are always missed, no matter how far they go or how long they stay away.

"Pasta in Various Sauces" was halted by and a double period of Portuguese was followed by a talk by Mr. Thomas on writing UCAS College Applicatations.
