Summer activities

I spent the last week at two camps, a journalism one called Newspaper by the Bay in Stanford, and Girl's camp at Camp Nauvoo in Placerville. Both were great experiences. I had another chance to go white water rafting, which was amazing.

I just realized that for the SAT II Chinese that I'm planning on taking in the Fall, if you get an 800, you can still be in the 61 percentile. Fantastic.

Okay. Signing out.

Connie and Carter, do you know this guy from anywhere?

He goes to Aragon, but he might be in the Tongan Stake (SF East?). I wonder if any of you have met him anywhere. The article understated his accomplishments: he was first-team all-state and received scholarship offers from UCLA, Oregon, Arizona St., and Nebraska, and Idaho. USC and Cal were also interested in him, but wouldn't let him serve a mission.
