Time is ticking!

How much faster can time get?

Nur sechzehn Tage ~ Only 16 days!

So far, I haven't started packing at all.  One of these days I'm going to start shopping for the things I need...but I don't know when.  I wonder when the rush will kick in?  For now, the most important items on my agenda are 1) to study (and pass!) the Government test so I can get credit for the class so I can graduate after my exchange year!  2) work to make $$ that I will need next year! And 3) to learn German on Rosetta Stone so I can have a head start!

Oh!  And exciting news!  On Friday (the 12th) I received news that I now have a permanent host family!  I will be in a village in central Germany.  I have communicated a little with my host mom and one of my host sisters, and I am really excited to meet them! :)  I have also communicated with my host sister in my temporary family, which will be in northwestern Germany.  I'm also very excited to meet them, as well!

Well, that's all I really have to say for now.  I'm not sure if I'll be writing another post until I get to Germany...we'll see. ;)

As for now - over and out!

My time in America is running out!
