Why Hello There!
It's been quite a while, which I am sorry about, I was just unsure about what to write! And even now as I write this I am a little confused about why I have decided to write this tonight. Probably out of sheer boredom.
Well guess what! This is THE month. The month that I figure out whether this entire process was just an illusion, or if all my hopes and dreams are actually coming true. Oh man, I hope that this all works out! It is also finally 2012. And whether or not the world ends this year (highly doubtful), this is going to be one of the BEST years of my life, if everything works out that is. If you are an exchanger, I think you understand what I am saying.
I could swear that I had something more productive to say, but I am sure that I forgot. There are too many distractions as I am writing this, and I easily lose track of what I want to say. Sorry!
On the fundraising note, I raised 135$ over Christmas break, and put it all towards my exchange. That leaves me at $3,535.00 raised, and I still have to raise $3215! I am pretty dang sure that I can do it. Especially with the new "Viaggio Italiano $2000 Scholarship" available on the AFS website. 6-12 people will be given the scholarship, and I am hoping that the essay I write, and my application are satisfactory to the scholarship-giving people. It would help out so much. Do you know another thing that could help out? You could sponsor my travels, by clicking on the 'chipin' button to the RIGHT of this post. All the money put into that goes straight into my tuition, and every dollar counts. It could be so so so cool if you gave a dollar or two!
In the meantime I will keep babysitting, and planning fundraisers!
Arrivederci <---- I always forget how to spell that, so that is why there are different spellings!
