I'm applying for an United World College. It's basically the International Baccalaureate outside of Norway (well, there's one here as well). I am so ambivalent in my feelings about it. I'm scared shitless but I still really want to go. Only if I get into the schools I'd like, though. Those are mostly the schools in Wales, New Mexico and Canada. I do not want to go to Bosnia, Costa Rica, Norway (duh) and I'm sort of hesitant about Swaziland and Italy. If I get accepted and get into one of these schools, I will basically move to that country and live on a boarding school for two years.
Oh my God. I'm growing up. This is terrifying. I can't stop thinking about it. I've asked my English teacher for a statement, but I need another one. I can't focus on my homework, haven't been able to since Tuesday, when this guy who used to go to my school came and told us about how he was enjoying it so far. I want to go to Wales most, where he is. It sounds awesome. He said the girl toilets look like the ones in Harry Potter, and he lives in a castle.
Anyway, cabin trip with half of the class tomorrow. I'm excited, I've missed that kind of social interaction. I'm really tired cause I fell asleep at 2.30 last night, and I've had P.E. which isn't helping one bit. I need to go and pack, and think about the college situation.

The first UWC, the Atlantic College, located in a 12th Century Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, United Kingdom was founded in 1962 with the initiative of Kurt Hahn, a renowned German educationalist. His vision was based on his post-war experience at the NATO, where discussion between former enemies fascinated him. He wanted to transmit a spirit of mutual understanding to young people to help them overcome prejudice antagonism through living and working together.
Hahn envisaged a college educating boys and girls of age 16 to 19, from different origins. The selection would be based on personal motivation and potential, regardless of any social, economic or cultural factors. A scholarship programme would facilitate recruitment of young people from different economic backgrounds.
