Just a Random Postt...

Hello Everybody(:

I don't really have any news, but I felt like saying hi and giving a little update about how nothing has happened yet...

I have been checking my email 100X a day, hoping that by some small chance that AFS has emailed me back about my application.. no luck so far! I know that it has only been a couple weeks since I submitted it, but what is life without hope? I have heard from many people that I will probably not hear back until January, which is a while off.. but I am an impatient person, so I cannot sit by idle, doing nothing. Therefore, I check my email all the time, daydream about AFS, and hope that January will come around the corner in a blink of an eye.

That is all that I can come up with to say for now.

P.S. I AM SO SO EXCITED (and I haven't even been accepted yet) Ohh man.. I hate this waiting game.

Hurry Up and Wait!

Hello!

Oh my gosh.... I just did the most exciting thing/scariest thing that I have ever done. I SUBMITTED my full application. I can honestly say that when the little "pop-up" came up and said "Are you sure you want to submit your full application? After you submit it you may make no changes." (Or something around that) I closed my eyes and clicked "yes." Afterwords I was jumping and screaming... quite an event. Now I get to check my email 10000 times a day, until I get accepted. I wanted to turn in my application fast... now I have to wait, and wait, and wait some more.. (Hence the title)

I can tell that this is going to be the most amazing experience I am going to have, I have already met some really wonderful people, and I hope to meet so many more(:

Please sponsor me, and donate to this magnificent experience! I would be so grateful if you did. Just click the safe "ChipIn" gadget on the upper right part of the blog, it would be awesome if you could!

P.S. I might not post a lot until I get more information, or until I get accepted.. Because up until then all I can say is how excited I am, which is REALLY, EXTREMELY, excited, but that would probably get old after a while.. So until next time. Ciao.. 
P.P.S. If you have any ideas about fundraising, comment below, or email me at rachiiramsey@hotmail.com. Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks so much :D

A Happy Interview.

Hello All!

I guess it isn't really the most crazy news, but two days ago was a great day. I had my in-home interview!! At the beginning, I was scared, but little did I know, that it was going to be so relaxed. Barbara, the women who gave the interview, my parents, and I just sat and chatted for about three hours. That's it. It was so exciting, hearing about the experiences to come next year. I know it seems impossible, but it made me even more excited for the year to come.

In other news, I am planning on TURNING IN my FULL APPLICATION in the next couple days.(: I have everything finished, it is just the matter of checking, and re-checking, and probably checking again, that I have everything filled out. Then it turns into the matter of clicking "submit", and waiting... and waiting!

Well I think that is all for now.
