This spring break was all about colleges for me. I went on an overnight trip with Serapiya, her godmother, and two sisters to the University of Oregon. We enjoyed spending time on campus of a bigger college, and we shared (or tried to share) their enthusiasm for the Oregon Ducks.
Their sports teams are increasingly successful, but I don't think Sera and I are very interested in going there. Still, it was a a wonderful experience and I learned a lot about what to look for in a good school! I know that it's important to visit all kinds of schools even if I don't want to go there, because now if I hear about a school about the same size that I'm unable to visit I have a reference school to look back on.
Today I went to visit two more colleges, and I just got back home a few hours ago. Our wonderful SMA college counseling office provided up with a college bus tour the Monday before school starts back up again, so we all have something to talk about tomorrow. We visited OSU and Willamette, and they are both wonderful schools. I'm interested in biology/BioHealth sciences and PreMed as a Major, and OSU has wonderful programs for both of those, as well as a 75% acceptance rate into medical school after graduating. I was very sad about Willamette though, because I absolutely loved the campus and small school feel but they don't offer Premed as a Major. I still enjoyed visiting and having the opportunity to go on a tour with the student ambassadors.
This break I also went on a more relaxing vacation with my godsister and her family to bend.

We rented out a house and visited many Oregon landmarks, and I really enjoyed the break from schoolwork and college-ing.

Hope to see you all bright and early tomorrow morning! Have a wonderful Monday afternoon
