I'm more than 15 years out from city so better to ask someone there now... but yes, I got the full IB Diploma. It did come at a price of sleep and social life. In retrospect, I'd still do a lot of IB classes but it's totally not necessary to do all IB and the thesis. On the plus side, freshman year of college was actually easier than senior year of IB and I finally learned how to strike a better balance then.

If you're a runner or cyclist, head north from campus on Maryland Ave, hang a left down the hill on the other side of the bridge, and pick up the Jones Falls Trail. Lots to explore in Druid Hill Park (which it runs through) and the trail is a nice ride north of there too

I love the fact that my grandfather helped pour concrete on most of the major buildings in this city, and that my family called it home for decades.

I love that it feels like home ot me, and whenever i go to the city, i immediately feel in touch with my roots: this is where my father played this is where my mother grew up this is where my friends and i went to drink and hang out and laugh

i hate that it's become such a violent and dangerous place to be

i hate that my kids think it's a place where you can't go because you'll get shot (I continually tell them that it's not ture and not to beleive the hype)

I hate that no one in power seems to give a shit about geting the city back on its feet
