Anxiously awaiting the date...

I am starting to get a little nervous because... still no date! That's crazy but I'm sure its better this way so the goodbyes will be rushed and not as sad. Well I am still getting excited. :) Still trying to figure out this blogging thing also. :P But I'm getting it! I think. So anyways I'll make these last few days a good time with family and hopefully the next time I blog it will be when I am in the land down under!

A week left in the States!

So today I got a letter from my travel agent, she informed us I will be getting on the plane sometime next week! I just cant believe it, I am really proud of myself for doing this. I dont know many people that would want to do an exchange for a year. But I am very excited, a bit nervous, anxious, but mainly excited! I will be on the plane for about 17 or 18 hours. And once I arrive in Sydney there will be a Rotarian greeting me and helping me get on my flight to Dubbo. Ohh by the way I am going to the state New South Wales. My first city is Gilgandra. Its a pretty small town with about 300ish kids in their highschool. Smaller than Park Rapids! But that should be fine. I have already been in contact with my host family. The Gardiners, they have two sons Cameron (16) and Brenton (14). My host mom is Vikki and my host dad is Tony. They are so excited to have me come! They tell me almost everyday  how they cant wait. :) It makes me feel very welcomed and I havent even met them in person yet. Well anyways that is just a little starting information about my Aussie Adventure! I am already packed, I did that Tuesday. This is all getting so real and my departure date follows very soon! Well I hope to write again soon. <3
