Lots to do!!

Well I am officially ready to start thinking about France now! I have 24 days left in the United States and I hope to make the most of them. My mother is helping me pack, and she is just as nervous as I am!



On the 5th, I have been invited to speak at my local Rotary Club and I can't wait! I will be the main speaker and I will be presenting what I know about my host city and family. Also, I have been asked what my future plans will be and what I will do to positively represent the Rotary organization. I laughed when I heard that, because I just want to make it through my exchange year, much less talk about the rotary club all the time!



I got my tickets as well! They are E-Tickets and I'll be flying with Northwest Airlines ^_^. I'll leave the St. Paul airport on the 25th at about 3:00 pm and arrive in Amsterdam at about 8:00 the next morning! I'll finally arrive in Luxembourg at about 10:00 am and from there it is 25 km to my host family's home!! I have already been in contact with my host father and he said that I will be the first "long term" exchange student they have had. Before, they have had a few students from Germany and Belgium for a week or so, but I'll be with them for several months!! I'm actually excited to be the guinea pig!! LOL!!



Just remember, if you're reading this, I will miss you and I love you a lot. Even if I dont know you. I love you still!



Peace
This is my friend Kristýna Langerová from Czech Republic. I miss you, darlin'! Hope to see you overseas!!~~
