Yay, update for everybody~! I'm sure you're all ecstatic. *snorts*

Regarding my college plans, it looks like I'm going to be attending University of Oregon this upcoming fall. Then, in April, I hope to be taking part in an overseas program to Meiji University in Tokyo for a year. Here's hoping I can fulfill the language requirement! I'm actually looking forward to attending UO; Oregon is beautiful and everyone I've talked to at the school seems really friendly. Also, tons of choir programs! Yay~!

Meanwhile, I'm trying to improve my driving so that I can get my license by the first weekend of July. I think I give my Dad five to ten mini-heart attacks a day because of my tendency to slow down when wondering if I'm allowed to make a turn or not, and my worse tendency to, when looking over my shoulder to check my blind spot, swerve in the opposite direction. Gotta work on that.

Aaand, after some prodding by Dad and watching some really fantastic performances by some of the top Russian ballroom dancers, I've decided to learn how to dance. A little swing, some jive, and maybe the foxtrot and Vienesse waltz. I'm kinda nervous; the instructors are fantastic statuesque Russian champions and I've never really danced before. Plus, there's this one dancer named Pavel that is really quite handsome, and I'd hate to look like an idiot in front of him. Here's hoping that I don't run any of them over by accident while driving to my lessons!

I'm hoping that my parents will let me go to Otakon in August to spend time with my FMA RP group, but things aren't looking good, since my Aunt and Uncle might be coming to visit that weekend. I'm remaining optimistic though, and working on my Roy Mustang impression (OOoohhh~I know, munou~~).

Alright, I managed to have more than one journal entry this month! Go me!

Oh wait, the quack in my title. UO are the ducks, and also tomorrow I have to sell Duck Dash tickets with my Dad while he wears a giant Donald Duck suit. Mom's not allowed to see him in the costume because it gives her nightmares. Every July the Rotary hosts a picnic where they let thousands of ducks into the river in a race to see which one can cross the finish line first. People buy tickets with the duck's number and hope that their duck wins. They also get three special numbers. They win around $1000 I think if their duck wins, and then there's a lottery to draw the three numbers. If the duck dash winner's three numbers match the three from the lotto, they win a million dollars! But it's probably more likely to be struck by lightning.

Alright, now I'm gonna go back to studying my Kanji, and eagerly awaiting Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Only three more weeks~~!!!
