64 days untill take off!

I'm so excited. My parents have turned in all of my forms, and I'm officially going to Korea! I can't believe there is only 64 days until I go. That means there's only 9 Saturdays, and 10 Wednesdays. Which, are the focal points of my week. Well, there are only 9 now...I guess considering its the end of Wednesday. Which makes me even more excited. I'm drinking soy milk and looking online at Korean street fashion. If I go there with the clothes I have now, I'll be a complete and total outcast. Not to mention that I'm extremely overweight...well not extremely, but I would definitely be considered that over there. The people in Korea are so tiny, well...the people that I've seen anyways. I asked my Dad if he thought that I should study ahead, but he said that I can't until summer. I'm not going to go against that little rule and study ahead anyways, because I think that I should really focus on my school work here. But, I'm really hoping that the school gets closed because of the Swine flu crap so that I can. I know that sounds mean of me to wish that my school would get closed, but I mean it in the best way possible, I hope that no more people die. AHH! I really want an e-mail from these people giving me more information. I didn't really find out anything on that conference call except that parents weren't recommended to come to the orientation because, they say that that is when the trip begins, or whatever. Well, my stomach is full of soy milk, and I need to write a History research paper. : D

The Start of Everything

A few days ago, I was accepted to go to Korea next year on a NSLI-Y scholarship. The whole day I was expecting the e-mail, and checking to see if it had arrived every single moment possible. All of my friends wanted to know about it, and were more excited and nervous for me than I was for myself. I wasn't nervous or excited, which was weird. I forgot about the e-mail that afternoon though, when I was sitting with my procter, Ciciley (sp?), and watched Gilmore Girls, poped popcorn in the dorms new popcorn machine, and ate popcicles. It was friday night, so we were all going to go on a school trip to Gateway, a theatre and a square for shopping with a wholefoods and stuff. I came back to my room to change my jeans because I was wet all the way to my thighs because it had been raining all day long, and I was jumping through puddles having loads of fun on my way to all my classes. I checked my e-mail after seeing my computer on my bed, and I had recieved the long awaited e-mail. I was accepted. : D My friend, Aya came in my room screaming, gave me a hug and told everyone else on the hall. All the other international students from asia came to my room and were so happy, you'd think that it was them getting the acceptance letter. We went to the movie, and all the gross parts that I just couldn't bear to watch, I whispered to myself... "I'm going to korea, I'm going to Korea!" Now its the Wednesday after that and I've got about 8 minutes untill I have to call into a conference call to the few other people going to Korea next year. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to recieve more information. I don't really know whats going to happen next year because it was through the NSLI-Y websight. Well, off I go to the dorm phone! : D
