All of these are things I've had to explain to various people so far (especially the price one to my mom, haha). I like the site so far, and I'll probably keep checking up on it for updates. ^^ As for the Congress-Bundestag (I think that's how it's spelled) thing in a previous post, my German teacher tried to get me to apply for it while I was waiting for my interview with Rotary. If I had had more time before the application was due (she gave it to me around a week before it was) I probably would have turned it in as well. I wish you luck to all of your exchange-related endeavours! ^o^ Completely true. All of these are things I’ve had to explain to various people so far (especially the price one to my mom, haha).

Eh, that's probably unlikely, but still... I doubt going to Germany would be a waste of time, unless you spend every day partying or something. And yeah, you'll stand out from the rest of us. :) But what if your host brother/sister hates you? Eh, that’s probably unlikely, but still…

You'll stand out from all us boring Asian kids that just slaved away for the majority of their high school lives in their safe little bubbles. Plus, your grades and SAT scores should be enough to get you into schools like Cal without any problems. Live without regrets!
