Today, I got a very large envelope in the mail from AFS and got very excited, thinking that maybe it was the information about my host family (it wasn't). Instead, it was about three letters telling me that they had shipped off my applications last week (YAY!!!) and that I had to read this packet of papers stapled neatly with a very pretty cover made to look like a book (I'm serious. It's really cool looking. There's all these pictures from the different places they send people. The blue paper kind of ruined the color a little, but regardless...)
So now I know the approximate departure date of my trip (6/22-6/26), which means I MAY be (probably will be, actually) missing the last few days of school. I have to go to a Gateway Orientation 24 hours before I leave, and before that I have to fly out to Los Angeles, where my plane leaves from (I may be staying with my aunt and uncle for a few days beforehand) so I might miss the whole week of finals (which is a fun week, usually- half days every day, with two tests a day maximum). Oh well.
Now that I have more instructions/advice on what to do, I'm going to have to start doing it! I have to look and see what shots I'll need to get before I leave, and learn more about my host country as well as current events here in the U.S. ^-^ And I'm going to start making a list of things I want to pack- not too much, though, since there's a weight limit on my suitcase and my carry-on.
All right.... that's all for now... I'm getting SOOOOOOOOO excited.....
