Well guys, guess what?
I'm taking SAT subject tests tomorrow and I'm freaking out about the math 2...
it doesn't seem to matter that I have a 98% in precalc right now, I CAN'T do well on standardized math tests...
Knowing what I do about my standardized math test scores, one would think I wouldn't go and sign up for the Math 2 SAT subject test... Well that just makes too much sense and so I'm going to my death tomorrow.

Enough of that though. I have some exciting news that doesn't deal with all the exams I'll be taking in the coming weeks!
I'm going to Europe and Costa Rica this summer!!!!! WHOOOOO

Ok, so the Europe trip is through my school and we're going to London, Paris, Florence, and Rome! (I know this may not seem like too big a deal, but since I've never been out of the USA before, it's pretty cool)

Unlike my European adventure, I will be going to Costa Rica with an organization called Global Routes. I will be spending 4 weeks there and 2 of those weeks will be a homestay. That means I'll be living with a family in a rural village in Costa Rica.
I suppose this trip will be giving my spanish a workout....
While staying with the family, the group will be building a community center alongside community members and it has been requested that we fundraise for the materials.

So this is my shameless plea for donations (even if they are only a couple of dollars, everything is appreciated!)

If you're in a giving mood, you really like me, or your just a really nice person (or any combination therof) please feel free to donate at this site [link]
100% of the profits will be going to the project and if you pay through this site, the money will go directly to the program.
I'd really appreciate if you could spare some change or you could spread the word because it's for a really great cause!

Plus, I'll be sure to take thousands upon thousands of picture!!! Yay for new material!

Phew, that was a long one..
Anyways, I hope everything is having a lovely time and if you wanted, you could tell me all about your summer plans?! yeah?! Cool! see ya soon
