Packing

The day I have been waiting for FINALLY came... my visa arrived! WOOO!
I'm still not sure which day I will be leaving but it will be THIS WEEK! Holy I can't control my excitement right now.

Since I have only a few more days I decided to start packing. I did not realize how much stuff I had until now... holy bananas. A couple months ago I went through my clothes and separated the clothes that I will be taking and the clothes I will not be. I have a huge garbage bag FULL of clothes that I'm not taking-which is great- buut I still have waay too many clothes to take haha. No amount of clothes can compare to the amount of presents I'm bringing though. My mom and I may or may not have gone a little over-board with the gift-purchasing... but it's good because I am definitely prepared.

I also had to go through and pick out which pairs of shoes I will be bringing. For anyone who doesn't know me.... THAT'S A LOT OF SHOES. I think I narrowed it down to 9 pairs which for me is pretty good I'd say.

So far in the last month of waiting I have been invited to: 1 vacation, 1 event with my school, 3 parties, 2 soccer games, 1 welcome party for myself and 2 other exchange students, and 1
BBQ. I'm not even there yet and I already feel special. Nossa! haha

I find out tomorrow which day I will depart and I honestly couldn't be more excited. I am so happy it's finally all coming together! I'm not exactly sure when the nerves are supposed to kick in but that will come eventually I'm sure. Right now it's all excitement and anticipation.

Anyways this was just a short post to update you all on my life before exchange.
