Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap.
I only have 50 days left and I feel no where near ready. I still have so much to get done!!
So recently on Sunday, June 7th I had to say goodbye to one of my best friends as she heads back to Finland. Vilma is such an amazing friend and I miss her so muchhh :( Now waiting until August so I can finally see her again!
It’s crazy how close you can get to someone in such a short amount of time.
SINCE IT’S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I LAST UPDATED…
I found out I will have four host families!!! Which is one more then normal but thats one more family I get to have who will be there for me when I need them and one more family to help me with my horrible Finnish. Haha!
And on to my Finnish. I’m using the app called Word Dive, it’s helping me greatly with my Finnish(which is still sucky but heyy give a girl a break). Though my pronunciation is shaky I’m getting use to the Finnish language.
Speaking of Finnish people, this past weekend I played in the Virginia Beach sand soccer tournament. On the first day, Saturday, my mom and I were walking down the Boardwalk and as we were about 30 feet away? (I’m not good with distance) I saw what I thought was a YFU sign with their symbol but my mom was like no I think that is UNC (they had a UNC tent) but I was sure it was YFU. As we got closer, sure enough it was a YFU tent set up. I went up and talked to one of the counselors I believe and told her I’m headed to Finland (but with Rotary ^.^ haha!) She told me that there was a Finnish girl there playing on the YFU exchange student team. Of course me all excited, I met the Finnish girl, her name is Anna and she lives outside Helsinki so I will definitely be seeing her while I’m over there! (By the way my team was undefeated and 1st in our group which meant we moved on to the semifinals but unfortunately we lost but hey I glad we made it that far :) )
It still hits me hard that I’m leaving in only 50 days. I haven’t even applied for my residence permit yet! It seems as though no one has my guarantee forms, so I can’t even submit the application for it which is making me crazy!! So until I get my residence permit it means that I can’t book my ticket. There’s so much going on I’m worried I won’t be able to goo!
but 50 days.
50 days left in America
50 days left with my family and friends
50 days left till I board the plane that will take me halfway across the world for 11 months
it’s scary and dunting but also exciting and enthralling
Here’s to the last 50 days!
