Deciding
So -- I have to officially decide by Friday! Until a couple of weeks ago I was 100% sure I wanted to be in Finland for a year, but now I feel very, very indecisive. If you have an opinion, please offer a suggestion. Which country should I choose: Finland, Sweden, or Iceland?

Today
Hello, and welcome to my insane weekend.
My day started at 7:00 at WMPG, where I attempted to work on my urbanization feature (which, by the way, sounds way more official and important than it actually is.) It's difficult to get anything done when you have 45 minutes to work before the studio is taken away from you, and a 55-minute interview, meaning that you don't even have time to get the audio into Protools. Therefore, I am not done, and literally the only time I can get into the studio is 6:00 am tomorrow!!
Okay, complaining mode over. After I left the station, my dad dropped me off in front of Space, where there was a huge group waiting to get in and join the madness that is a holiday Rogues Gallery sample sale. I walked to Coffee By Design, drank a small soy mocha, and returned to Space. I shopped for a bit, picked up two dresses, a t-shirt, and a men's button-down, and then moved into an extremely overwhelming line. However, I then finally saw Daniel Pepice, and was promptly moved to the front of the line, introduced to some people, and handed a huge brown paper bag! Thank you, Daniel Pepice.
Afterwards, I went for tea with Kayla at Breaking New Grounds, which has a lovely tea selection. She was at the sample sale as well, as were Matt and Heather -- it was so fun to see them. After enjoying tea for quite a while, I arrived 15 minutes late for my film class, where I am right now. So far I've had a busy but enjoyable day. And, just as Miss Gliss predicted, my interview with Mitchell was fun, I WILL finish my piece in time for Monday's show (7:30-8:30, folks. WMPG 90.9 and 104.1!) and I'm looking forward to five days in New York. This afternoon, I'm heading to Claesson's to edit Mitchell's interview. Later, perhaps I will make scones.
The Germany application is OFF!! Now all I have is regular AFS, AFX, financial aid, and possibly another application for Germany... Yikes.
The end.

What I've been doing lately
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, folks! I have been busy, and sick. (I am recovering from a sore throat, headache, and cough right now, but I am feeling better.) Also, Thursday was the culmination of our first expedition, "We Are One and We Are Changing." Even after devoting three months to it, I still don't understand how the title ties in with infectious disease and colonization, but don't tell the 10th grade team! Anyway, our presentation went pretty well, and I'm glad the expedition's over.
Yesterday Charlotte came over; we worked on our rap, danced to Mark's Christmas Mix, and watched Capote. (My mother makes fun of the number of times I've seen that movie.) It's terrific! I love it. My dad suggested that I introduce it to my crew, which is kind of a bad idea, especially considering that it's rated R and I think that's illegal, or something. Although I think my crew might benefit from an eye-opening, shocking experience... Maybe that's why I want to take my class to see the Kara Walker show at the Whitney when we're in New York.
What else have I been doing? Mostly, trying to finish up the Congress-Bundestag application. It has to be in by December 16th -- wish me luck!! If I get it, I'll get to go to Germany for a year for free!
