I emailed my host club :D and received a email back :D they seem excited to meet me :D
I went to my neighbors cottage yesterday for the night. The lake was so nice and peaceful it was nice to get away from all the commotion at home.
There is a lot of chaos at my house. With my brother moving out for university and me leaving for a year.
Did you know us exchange students are only allowed two suit cases under 50 pounds? well i have both mine full. One is about 10 pounds over weight. :S honestly how are you suppose to pack one year worth of stuff into that little? i know i will buy lots of stuff in Brasil, but still! it's not that much room!
I'm one of the last exchange students in my district to leave on exchange :( oh well i will get to leave very soon!
There is a new exchange student that just arrived at my sponsor club. i haven't met her but i hope to!
I would like to tell you about what it's like in the weeks before you leave for a whole new country,.. Some moments you are so excited and want to leave right away, at other times it hits you and you become scared and nervous and think how did you get your self into this? Sometimes you can't imagine how you could possibly leave your family for a whole year! But the best part of all is when you think of all the doors and opportunities you've just made for your self. You think of all the people you will meet and all the places you will see, and all the memories you will make, and all the changes you will get. You think about if you never thought of taking the first step and convincing yourself that you can really do this you ARE really doing this. You think of how lucky you are.
I'm one of billions of people in the world. One of 8 000 kids that are doing a rotary exchange. That isn't many people when you think about it. I believe I'm the luckiest person on the planet! I'm so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you everyone that's involved!
Bye for now
