Well, what timing

Of course, the day after I posted that I was still waiting... I get the letter saying I'm OFFICIALLY accepted by AFS Japan and, though they're still finding a host family for me, I will definitely be going. YAY!

Almost 6 Weeks

This coming Tuesday will be the six-week mark on my wait for AFS to tell me my host family. ^-^ Oh well. They said it might take a while. The great, fantastical news is, I found out I HAVE been accepted by AFS Japan, which means I'm definitely-most likely going. As long as they find a host family for me.

So, of course, I've started doing some reading. I've already read the packet/book thingy, and it suggested several books, none of which my local library had. So I used the magic of the Interlibrary Loan to get them from libraries that are fairly far away. I can only get two at once, though, so I'm currently reading The Exchange Student Survival Kit by Bettina Hansel, and I have a book from the CultureShock! series, CultureShock! Japan for when I'm done. And I'll have plenty of time to read them- I'm going down to Washington D.C. and then up to Boston this week, during April break, to look at colleges.

In the mean time, I'm making a scrapbook of pictures to bring with me to show my host family, and when I come back I'll add all the pictures I've taken! ^-^ It's coming along nicely so far. I've got all these cool things to add into it.
