I thought I would never receive that e-mail, I've finally been accepted by AFS Germany!
It'll be less than 90 days until I'm in Washington D.C., or maybe even in Germany. It still hasn't hit me that hard yet.. I expect it will when I get my host family.. or I maybe it won't until the day we leave for D.C.. All I know is that I can't wait.
On a semi-unrelated topic, I wanted to lightly brush on credits for my school..
Unfortunately my guidance counselor has been not so supportive of my decision, but in the end she's "dealing." My principal on the other hand is all but negative on this situation. In May, my mother and I went for a meeting with him and we discussed the credits I'd need to graduate and the sort of classes I'd be taking in Germany. He is accepting ANYTHING. I'm so surprised.. If it's a requirement for my graduation and I take it in Germany, I just have to take the exam when I come back. Oh, I've just finished my sophomore year and I'll be in Germany for my Junior year. When I come back, my schedule is going to be packed.. To graduate I need Algebra2/Trig, US History, English 11 and 12, 1 Regents Science and another Science (+their labs), 2 gym credits, PC Skills, Health, Government and finally, Economics.. Unfortunately, it's impossible to take all that in my senior year. So for summer school (yaaaaaaaaay.....) I get to take Government and Economics..
I think what's made this process go more quickly are the extremely well placed conference calls. I think I spend one week just thinking about the call that's on it's way.. Once that one is over, the next week goes by quickly and then I'm thinking about the next one again.. I thought this was going to be the longest 3 months of my life. Especially since I haven't gotten a host family yet.. I think once they find me it'll be even quicker. We've been told that we might not know who our family is until a week before we leave.. It's not that much of a big deal... but I sure hope that's not me.. :p
I think that's a pretty decent amount of words with little to be said.. So, until then :P
