Homestretch

Well, today marks the homestretch of my exchange. FOUR DAYS LEFT! AAHHH!! People have been asking me how I feel and I FINALLY figured out how to describe it, kind of like this:

Thhaatttt looks about right! :)

Yesterday I went home and said goodbye to all my extended family and my eldest sister. It was really hard to say goodbye to them, but I will see them when I come back :) One of my aunts gave me one of two things she has held on to in case she decides to up and go on a trip and also as a good luck piece. Most people would just see it as a piece of currency, but it means so much more than that. Today, I said goodbye to my church. A lot of people told me goodbye and good luck, and if you guys are reading this and I just gave you that awkward smile and laugh thing, I'm just a jumbled mess and have never had to do anything like this before, but thank you :)

I still have SO MUCH to do with such a small amount of time left. I still have to make pins, do my laundry for packing, make sure all my flights are in order, purchase gifts for my host family, and say some final goodbyes to friends. I have some little things planned, but, I just kind of wish school would close on the 20th or 21st so I could hang out with them all before I climb in a metal can and roll off to my new life.

My host mother has talked to me about some of the things we will be doing my week of arrival, and some of the things we may do for vacations. Let me just say, I'm stoked. I won't say 'I can't wait for them!' because that means time will go fast, so, I can wait on them. I want this year to go by very slowly so I can take in EVERYTHING! I want to do everything I can and try and go as many places as I can!

Ok, well, that about wraps up this post. The next time I post will probably be from an airport before I become a sardine XP I come up with the dumbest things to say, but, it's my blog, so, I do as I want :)

Au Revoir!
