Oi!
Maggie and I are the only ones left in the States! Sophie, Sydney, Hannah, Kenzie, and Erin have all left to go to their countries. All I'm waiting for at this point is my Visa, which my travel agent said will take at least three more weeks (she said this around a week and a half ago.) After that, I'll have around three days before I'm on a plane to Brazil!
My emotions at this point are so contradicting. I am so excited to get this year started already. I've been preparing for my exchange for around a year now and it is just now starting to feel real. I'm both nervous and scared that I will be starting school late (it started on July 14th) but I know deep down that it will a lll eventually work out. I am so ready to leave but at the same time I still have so many things that I have to get done!
The past months have been a whirlwind of work and family and friends and nerves and packing and unpacking - and I really haven't had any time to just sit and enjoy myself. This past week I have been sick, so I haven't been able to do much of anything - which is a change of pace. I went to the doctor and got prescribed some medicine, so I am just now starting to recover - yay!
Below are just a couple of pictures of me and some of the other exchange students!
