If you haven't noticed yet, I have
changed my blog url and name. Since I'm not going to Germany for
2014-2015 it seems appropriate that it changes.
As of right now it's the end of July
and all the CBYX kids will be leaving for Germany and the CIEE kids
will be in DC on Thursday for PDO and then Saturday fly out to
Germany. I so happy for them but at the same time wish I could be in
their shoes. I was in Maryland at my Dad's and he lives inGreenbelt
which is right outside of DC and I'm glad I left because knowing I'm
a mere twenety minutes from them but not leaving with them would kill
me. Everyone I talk to says there's a reason why weren't suppose to
go but I'm still waiting for that reason and I hope it's a god damn
good reason because as the days go on, I see reasons why I should go.
Since it is July I am trying to figure
out who I want to apply to for exchange for 2015-2016.
-Rotary? I love everyone with Rotary.
Most of my exchange friends are/were Rotary exchangers and tbh the
best exchange students are from Rotary.
-CBYX? CBYX is pretty cool I definitely
like the program and of course the best thing is that it's free..
besides passport, visa, and stuff like that. The people who do go on
exchange with CBYX are some of the coolest American exchange students
-NSLIY? Last yer when I applied I bs
this app and kinda regreted it. I don't know really much about it but
I do some kids who are on exchange currently with the NSLIY summer
exchange program.
-YES? The only thing I'm scared about
with YES is that I believe only 65 kids from the entire country are
chosen but I'll regret it if I don't try. Which I was planning to
apply to but got to lazy after waiting last minute to do my CBYX app.
So I do regret being to lazy for that.
This is how I see it: Apply to Rotary
and not to any of the government sponsored scholarships
---or----
Apply to all of the listed
government exchange programs and not to Rotary
I have to have a choice by the
beginning of September, so if I do choose to apply to Rotary I can
start on my application.
I would love for the next ten months to
go by so I can be packing and waiting for my visa but I'm trying to
remind myself to take advantage of today because I don't know who I
will lose in the next ten months and I don't know what this school
year has in hand for me.
On a good note I am looking at
college's. My minor isn't at all college's which does prove to be a
bit of a challenge but I'm not going to a college that doesn't have
it. My minor is Teaching English as a Second Langauge(TESL) and my
major is French. When I do see that college's have my minor I start
to look at their French programs. I do want a college with an amazing
French program that includes study abroad and immersion to the
fullest. I have seen college's that do have their students who are
majoring in French and want to be a teacher go to France and intern
which is major points in my book.
I don't know what the future holds but
I can only hope good is in it.
