It's that time of the year again... part two

Time for part two. This time I'm just going to list everyone who has inspired me to prusue my dream of exchange and who I have followed them for the past 9-10 months on their journey of a lifetime. I've had conversations with all of you and you have all made me laugh. I'm glad I got to know all of you because knowing all of you have showed me how much exchange students need one another.

I hope this time next year I'll be writing on this blog for travel of own to a foreign country.

Until next time(which will probably be July)

It's that time of the year part 1

Even though I did not get accepted and yes I'm applying again I'm going to coutninue to write on this blog and it will be exchange things... My post today is one that I wish I would not have to write. It's the time of the year where schools ending and all my exchange friends are leaving to go home. I've met so many and I can't get my head around that I won't be in the same country as them anymore. I wanted to say thank you too all of you that I have had the pleasure of being friends with.

Judith is my friend from Norway who spent her exchange year here in Virginia. I started talking to her before she even got here to the US. We started talking July 31, 2013 and now sometime next month she is leaving. I was her first American friend and she was my first Norwiegan friend. I love the frienship we have because we're close even though we've never actually met in person (which is crazy considering how close we are.) I will come to Norway one day to hang out with you. Even though you are a big meanie to me haha! You'e going to be 18 on June 13th which is crazy considering you look sixteen but I hope you turn up for your birthday. I love you, you Hora!

Carina is my friend from Germany who spent her exchange year here in Virginia. She was the only exchange student at my school. I've loved being friends with her. We were on the same soccer team for indoor season, high school season (Varsity might I add), and we're on the same sand soccer team for the upcoming tournament. High school season we've gotten pretty close and I'm going to be a mess when you leave. Even though I know your heart lies with fockey (which it shoudln't!) I know you enjoyes your shot soccer career. Thanks for teaching me the word Dumme Schlampe I shall forever use that word on people I hate! haha! I have so much more to say but I'll wait for the day you leave to tell you everything.

Katrine is my friend from Denmark who spent her exchange year in California. Okay to say it all I'm jelous of you you got to live in southern California! You're the sweetest! I still don't believe you're only 16 you look soooo much more older(in a good way). I'm pretty sure one day I'll see you walking down the runway at all the top fashion events because I think you're destined to be a model. Oh and how could I forget to thank you for being my "Starbucks Twin"! When I get over to Denmark we're having our Starbucks date that we set back in like November. We'll go to Coppenhagen were the only Starbucks in Denmark exsit and have so many frappachinos we'll be Starbucks drunk! Haha! One last thing is that she's with Rotary which is one the main reasons I love her! Oh and apparently no one has said her name correctly while she was here on exchange so I'm going to try and be the first!


Aude is my friend from FRANCE! who spent her exchange year in California. She also lived in Southern California -.- How lucky these people are. Lately we haven't talked much but I still adore you! You're also a felloew Rotary youth exchanger so even if you  weren't you're automatically awesome and cool.

Carlos is my friend from Spain who spent his exchange year in Michigan. I just recently met him in a group chat of exchange students and boy is he perfect (emooji that's laughing so hard there's tears) I think Caroline would agree. I can't belive you are leaving in like 13 days like woahhhhh!

This is FAR from everyone and I relies that it's getting long so i'll make another but for now this is it. I don't want any of my friends to leave because that means you'e thousands and thouands of miles away from me. Thank you for being my friends. It's crazy how obilvious I was from the world around me and all the exchange students that exsited in the world. They have helped me open my eyes to the world they have taught me things that happen in their culture and taught me words (mostly inapportiate words) of their langauge. I hope when I read this 5 or 10 years from now I'll still in conatact with every single one of you!
