The countdown begins

Today on one of the groups for CBYX recipients a girl from AFS posted saying that we will start the program, which starts when we get in Washington DC for our three day orientation on September 3rd and then we depart the USA on September 6th arrival in Germany on September 7th. So with that I am no able to start and official countdown until I am no longer on American Soil! :)
No word on a host family, but I don't mind. I'm sure where ever I go it will be amazing & I'll have an amazing family. I also just set my date for my graduation party I set it in late July so it could also be kind of like a goodbye party since a lot of family and friends are out of town and leaving for college in early August.
So as for my summer goes I'm trying to practice some German, I know a few sentences but still not enough to even get me around if I was lost. I'm going to keep practicing this summer. I also have been working a lot and weird shifts I might add. My next shift on this coming Tuesday from 10pm-11:30am the next day it stinks but I'm making lots of money I can save up and enjoy using while I'm in Germany! :) When I'm not at work I've been doing many different things like I just ran & finished my first 5k it was so much fun & I'm so proud of myself. (I'm the third from the left see picture below)(#8740)

This 5k is where you run and as you are running they throw colored cornstarch at you. It was really fun and I had a great time doing it. I hope I can find some more like this. Maybe they have some in Germany? Maybe be able to talk my host family into doing it. These types of runs aren't competitive just fun, thats what I liked most about it beside that my registration money some of the money goes to the Ronald McDonald's House of Charities. I think its a great thing, and it helps get people health.
SO ABOUT MY COUNTDOWN HERE IT IS! :)
