11 days left with my family! Crazy to say that. I've started my goodbyes, my best friend went up to college the other day and I had to say goodbye to her until next year. It was sad but I'm also excited to see were our lives will take us in the next year. So many good things have happened within the past week. I won a fish at a fair, second time I have won fish within the past month. 3 in total and my dad was not happy because he has to take care of them while I'm in Germany.
But the reason I really wanted to blog was so everyone could know that I finally have a host family!
I will be living in Wolfenbüttel, Lower Saxony, Germany. I have a Dad, Mom and 3 sisters. The ages of my sisters are 25, 23, and 18 (my age). I'm glad I have a sister that's my age. My sister that is 25 goes to university and lives on her own so I will be living in her bedroom. This family seems like a lot of fun. In their application letter I read about how they like to go biking and walking. My mom does a lot of volunteer work throughout the community, she even helps teach sports. I know it will be easy for me to participate in sports. My dad does research for infection control, which I think is cool. I won't get to be with my permanant host family until the end of the first week in October because I go to a language camp in Celle, Germany and I will be living with a welcome host family. Either way I'm sure I get to meet so many new people and I'm so excited to be there.
I just want to leave now.
I started packing and it is hard. I have no idea what to take what to leave.... UGHHHH!
Anyways I can't wait for everything to fall into place.
ONLY 11 MORE DAYS UNTIL I CAN OFFICIAL SAY I'M ON THE CBYX PROGRAM!!!!!
I remember starting my countdown with over 70+ days on it. Where does the time go!
