This is all I have left until I am off on THE biggest adventure of my life. It's crazy to think that I am ACTUALLY doing this. I have been waiting since 7th grade for this so it just kind of feels like a dream that I'm actually going. I have gone through SO much and fought so hard to go that honestly I deserve it. Everyone that is actually going and has stayed so dedicated deserves it. This has officially become crunch time for me. I have so much I have to get done and I have limited time right now because I might be going to Arizona, Las Vegas, and California for a few weeks.
I don't know if anyone else is feeling the same way, but somedays I just get SSSSOOO sick of explaining what I am doing and all the details. Most days I am like extremely excited to explain it......then these moments happen when I just hate it and feel like ripping someone's head off. Also you explain it to two types of people....one type is the type tat is excited for you and possibly feels a little jealous and then there are people who think you are crazy and would never do it themselves and kinda frown upon it in a way. They don't really care what you do so explaining to them just feels like a waste of time in my mind.
Quick question to all my lovely readers...which are about 3...anyways....have you guys skyped with your host family? I mean I feel like I should, but I am completely awkward over video chat because.....I just hate it!!! I love like face to face REAL interactions then like online hiding behind a computer interactions. So I was just wondering how many actually do video chat or skype with their own families.
It would be a big help if you guys answered!
Lastly I would like to make this known. I am SO fucking excited to meet all the people going to Germany with me. I thrive off of meeting new people and laughing at all the awkward moments that occur. I can't wait for our Gateway Orientation where we all meet that are USA--->Germany. I am going to be bouncing of the walls introducing myself to everyone. Plus I'll already know Ellie so that makes me feel a lot more comfortable then not knowing anyone at all. I don't know if you have noticed yet but I am not really a socially awkward person so big crowds are my thing and new people are like...a drug for me..I guess we could say. I am one heck of a social butterfly. Anyways that's one of the main things I am super excited about. BOOYAH!
PUMPED UP,

I know I already told you this, but I have not skyped with my host family. I completely agree with you on that! I feel like it would be so much better to meet in person. Plus, I'm kind of terrified that my French is going to suck so we won't even be able to understand each other, making it even MORE awk!
ReplyDeleteHey so I have skyped with my family and I loved it! I was so excited and then when we started talking I clammed up! I didn't know what to say but it was nice. We got some questions answered like expectations for me when I get there.. like NO english until I try explaining it in German first:s scary. Also it just gives you a feel of each person whether giving them a bear hug or hand shake when you first see them. I Say go for it! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks again! I know I've said it a million times but you are awesome!:) See ya soon!
