Hi Everyone!
This last Thursday I finally got my visa! Around 8pm I got a call from "No Caller ID" and I was so close to not answering it, but there was a small part of me hoping that it would be about my visa so I went ahead and answered, and I am so glad that I did!
Originally I was supposed to be leaving this upcoming Friday. Last Saturday night I got the flight schedule for Friday and all I had to do was confirm it. I wanted to leave earlier than Friday though, so I posted a message on the board asking if there was any way that I could get on an earlier flight. I didn't get a response by Monday, so I went ahead and verified the plane for Friday because that was the last day to confirm. I messaged my host mom and everything and told her that I would be arriving Saturday morning, and everything was basically set.
Then, Tuesday night, I got another call from my travel agent telling me that she could still book an earlier flight. At first I was hesitant to leave earlier, because everything was already planned out, but then I thought about how much better it would be for me to leave earlier even if it was just a couple days. Today, I got my new flight schedule, and I am leaving tomorrow for Brazil! I am so excited to finally start this exchange, I can't wait to see what the future holds.
I know that everything was all super last minute, but I am happy with the decision that I made. I will be departing out of Fort Wayne, and from there going to Chicago. After that I will go to Miami, and then Brasilia! As of right now, I have everything all packed and ready to go. I have been doing some last minute cleaning today, but other than that, I am all ready!!
Talk to you soon,
Nicole
