I went to ICRT!
Its funny how was just listening to ICRT on the car this morning, and this afternoon, I was in their office! During club time today, a few PAS alumni and I were driven to Taipei to record a commercial for our school. The commercial was only fifteen seconds and four lines in total, but it took us around almost half an hour to do the recording (and three hours if you include traveling time). I find that pretty ironic, but it was still a great experience. ICRT is probably the only radio I listen to on the car and I actually have wondered what their office looks like. And today, I got the chance to witness it myself! I got to see their voice control machine (what is that called?) and cool microphone. The four lines took us so many tries until we got it right. In the end, we had to cut and paste parts from different tries. The guy that did the recordings for us was pretty nice and helped us through the whole thing. We are supposed to sound excited and upbeat, which is different form usual talking and I felt just a tiny bit awkward sounding overly hyper. It was really an interesting experience. In the end, we took pictures with the ICRT signs and finally left to drive right back to school (...for chem class!)

I've Missed You Guys!
Amy, TinTin and Vincent came to school today! Right after English midterms! I was so happy to see them! I was also really lucky today because it is to cold outside so our tennis coach said we shouldn't go to class, which meant I got to spend the time talking and catching up with them. I have so many questions about college and I really wanted to know how they are doing. Now that all my applications are sent out, all I can do is wait... and wait... and be nervous. They gave me a brief idea of what college is like, and it seems very different from high school. However, all of them seem to be doing fine, which is nice, but they all seem to be studying A LOT. I've asked several PAS alumni a few of them have told me that they go study in the libraries. I don't really understand why. Some say they can focus more in there. I really can't wait for my college experience! I'm already excited and really nervous and its only January. Four more months until decisions are out! Oh, but I still have so many more questions, BUT I think I get to see them again next week and we might go out for dinner! They will be leaving soon after that and it would be another half a year until I see them again!
