Accepted!

I got it! I am officially accepted to the exchange program! I am so excited, I guess counting my chickens before they have hatched is alright.
There is a pre-departure workshop in March that I must attend which will cover everything that we need to know so that will be exciting and informative because there's like 34832 questions about everything that everyone has.
I called mom and dad first when I got the accepting email. I think mom was a little petrified when I explained the good news that this whole trip and application thing was becoming a reality but that is okay, she's got 6 months to get used to it and prepare. ;)
Till then there's like 8 pregnant people having babies in the spring and my brother's ginormous wedding in the summer, followed by a summer of non-stop work and saving before I leave for 8 months in September.

That's all I have to say for now,
peace.
