Wow.
Thats really the first word that come to my mind when I think about all that is happening right now.
I had my orientation meeting here at school for my exchange program yesterday. I left it feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and incredibly excited. At first, we were just discussing generalities that are part of all exchange programs, then at the end, I had a chance to talk to a girl who actually went there. The whole money, documents, packing issues were, and still are, completely insane- I find myself asking if I am organized enough to handle all this...but I will be. Though, talking to the girl calmed me down, and helped me re-remember that this trip is going to be amazing. Despite the language barrier, despite the crazy travel issues, this is going to be completely and utterly incredible. Now I am concerned that I am not going to be there long enough! Ha!
Also, soon, I will be receiving information about my host family. This is one of things I am most anxious about; I can't wait to meet them!
I am going to email the other people going on the exchange soon, and introduce myself, see if maybe I can travel together with someone. I hate to admit it, but I am nervous when I think of traveling all the way to a foreign country all alone... I mean, I know I could do it, but that doesn't stop me from being nervous.
As well, here at school, things are going crazy. This has been the term of insanity. I haven't been this busy since senior year of high school. I love it! I have homework, work, planning for Argentina, packing - for Argentina, and for to go home, and a million other tiny little things!
So, needless to say, I have a ton of energy at the moment; a ton of anxious, jittery, pumped energy!
I'm sad I won't get to see you before you leave...we'll have to talk on the phone soon. Good luck with all your busyness. You're going to have an awesome time! love you.
