Dear Journal Viewers,
Its been awhile. Too long..Well I might as well get to the big news...So I applied to be a foreign exchange student for the 2008-09 school year or my Senior year of high school. And I got accepted and I will be living in South Africa.
I'm absolutely terrified,to be honest. I guess I got what I wanted though, I have dreamed of Africa. But I'm scared becasue for those who have never seen a photo of me, I'm hispanic, so not white or black. And well South Africa doesn't have the best race history (neither does the U.S. but I think we're finally getting there.) So that's a concern, and my only concern.
WHAT do YOU think??
On the other hand any family applying to house an exchange student must be fairly forward thinking, don't ya think? And I could be totally wrong my family could be free-thinking hippies...its a world of unknowns..
But if I lose hope--I can look to the natural beauty surrounding me....Hey my guidance counseleur said, I should be the role model to show that Yes! we all can live in harmony and don't have to kill and hate because of our differences. And I'm with the Rotary program and that's their moto!
Okies on a lighter note!!
Well maybe not lighter, I was soo shocked to hear of Heath Ledger's passing. I seriously thought my radio was lying to me!! My good friend owns like all his films and she wore black today, soo it was very sad.
Now for the lighter note the ACADEMY AWARDS are out!! Yeah for Julie Christie!! I haven't seen any of the films yet, except Away from Her! Go rent it, its soo brillant and sad!
I'm also going to Paris! I'm soo excited,gahh I'm totally geeky enough to think I'm gonna run into Juliette Binoche and Catherine Denueve! Its soo lame--OOO!
I love this!
God's she's iconic
and this!
And finally more looves....
I won my school Shakespeare Competion doing a monologue from this!!
Brenda Leee likes sugar--got Season 2 for x-mas
