Here Comes The Anchor

Published March 31, 2013 by princessryannexx

It is finally starting to sink in…within a matter of months I will be in a completely different country without my family,, this is my last big holiday at home; Easter. My 16th birthday is on September 3rd and that will be in Germany as well.. which im completely fine with. 😉 I am so excited to be able to have all of these experiences, I’m just maybe a little scared/nervous. What if my host family just wants a foreign exchange student so they can use me as their personal slave?? I know this isn’t rational thinking, but I know it is possible. My ex boyfriend was a foreign exchange student from Germany at my school last year and his host family was just like that. Which is UBER scaryyyy. Hopefully, this won’t happen to me or anyone else for that matter. 🙂 I am SO ready to start this adventure..HURRY UP AUGUST. Oh, and correction to my last post: it is 130 days until I leave! WOOOOO! :)) I am beyond excited, someone stop me before I spontaneously combust ;D hahaha. Okay, time to go eat deviled eggs, Hasta La Pasta guuuys! 😉

“Dear Joy,

We would like to be the first to congratulate you on your acceptance to the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship Program! CIEE is thrilled to have you among our 50 students chosen from the Southeast United States. Now that you have made it through the selection process, we must begin preparations for the year ahead.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay 🙂 so , let me rewind a bit. Yesterday (March 27,2013) at 11:00 am (yes I was in school lol) I saw a strange number from Maine calling, so I answered it and it was Juliette!!! She said “Hello Joy’e, I have good news, someone has declined the scholarship and I was wondering if you wanted to go to Germany” of course I FREAKED out. This one phone call is what has decided my future for the next year 🙂 I am beyond thrilled. excited. amazed. shocked. etc. This next year will not be easy .. but it will be worthwile 🙂 SOOO, I have just completed my 23 page application (yes 23 PAGES *.* ) and all I have left to get is my official transcript and my physical, WOO! The only crappy part was that adobe reader was EXTREMELY hard to download on my PC.. it took 2 days..lol. im technically challenged :p ….so I’m going to go and freak out some more. 🙂 only 104 days left!!!
