I can't believe in only 12 days I leave for Finland. This is crazy. Complete craziness. It still hasn't hit me that I'm actually leaving!!!!
Earlier this month on the 6th I went to DC to go to the Finnish Embassy to process my residence permit. I got to walk down Embassy Row and see many of the embassies! I also saw the Islamic Center which was an amazing site.
I received my flight itinerary on the 17th! So on August 1st at 12:46pm I will leave from the Norfolk airport to fly to the Atlanta airport where I have a 40 minute layover, I will then leave from Atlanta to go to Amsterdam, and then from Amsterdam to Helsinki!!! So I only have 11 days left here in my home, and it's a bit exciting. I still haven't packed but I probably won't get to that till next week (whoops).
One day recently I read back from the beginning of my blog and it's quite unreal. I see how I have changed since I wrote my first blog post. I've grown a lot and it's a bit weird to see little me all excited about CBYX and really thinking I could get it. And now here I am a year in a half later; going on exchange to Finland.
I made a video recently but wasn't able to edit it so I just wrote this in place of it. I will be taking lots of pictures and vlogging while at language camp! Also I started my online classes for here in the states, I'm taking US Gov, and English 12. I'm already majorly falling behind
