news!

1)After asking for advice advice advice, I decided that I would take the year off if McGill didn't grant me an exception for a semester. I contact Peru and told them I was coming. I figured I'd go and figure out when I'd come back once I was there. Today, however, I found out that they would give me a one semester deferal!! I bought my ticket! I'm leaving the 29th of August and coming back the 17th of December. Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2)Last weekend I drove to Grinnell, Iowa to visit Maria (a flatmate from Italy from Uganda who's currently studying at Grinnell.) We had a blast! It was wonderful to see her and I was glad I could help her get a fan by driving her to the SuperWalmart because it was sooooo damn hot!

3)Two days ago I left for Lake Mcconaughey, which is a pretty big lake in western Nebraska. I wen there to meet Danny (from Wales) and Terence (my first year from the States) who were in CO. Apart from getting realllllllly sunburnt, this too was a fantastic day with UWCers. How wonderful!!!
