I’ve never written a blog before. Let alone a diary.
(I grew up with too much to do and too little time to do it in)
But due to recent events I’ve decided to give it a try.
I *crosses fingers* am going to be a foreign exchange student.
The country I'm going to is Chile.
I’m going through a company called Youth For Understanding (YFU).
My uncle went to Sweden through this company and they are really nice people.
My only thing against them is the time it takes to actually get information from them.
You see, now that I'm actually going I leave on July 21 or 22.
So raising money in that amount of time is crazy hard but we're getting there.
Just a little frustrating.
Anyway…
I’m starting this rant so that when I go, I’ll have a place to document all that happens/tell my friends and family/vent if needed.
So beware those of you that are about to subscribe to this. I’m not normal (lol) and some things I might end up posting might make no sense at all.
That’s just how I do.
Today is the last day of school for Farwell and the last day that I'll see alot of my friends.
I'm really sad.
but it's a step that I need to take or I'll never make it.
So after a trip to Ohio on Friday to make it to a family wedding and a graduation party and not to mention I get to spend time babysitting my little cousin.
I hope this helps me out. I'm keeping a journal as well so this may or may not be updated very often. I'm just going to take things as they come and keep moving forward.
This is going to be so cool!!!
ReplyDeleteJust remember that stepping outside your "norm" helps you grow. And if you're not growing, you're dying! So keep on growing... You're friends and family will be waiting for you when you come home, and anxiously awaiting your blog entries. :)
P.S. Just wait til you get older, you'll start growing that beard whether you want to or not! Ha! Ha! Ha! Women pay alot of money to have that stuff waxed off!
