Pre- Departure Orientation

I have finally found out some news. Today i got an email with my pre-departure info. On May 15 i will be meeting with the other kids of the area to have our day long orientation. So despite the fact that its not belgium specific, it is something. At the very least its an opportunity to hound the volunteers for information. Plus i get to meet the other outbounds in my area and if they are half as awesome as the exchangers i have already met then we're in good shape.
So that is my news for now

Lack of News :(

Okay so i am still one of the unlucky exchange students who has no information about my placement in Belgium. Right now my fate is in the hands of those Belgian volunteers. Hopefully i'll hear something soon otherwise i may spontaneously combust.

Lets see...because of my lack of info i dont have much to write about so i will just say that i'm loving exchangers and i think its so crazy that there are all these people i talk to from all over the world that im going to be meeting. This would never happen otherwise. Not to mention exchangers are just awesome at understanding what your going through. So cant wait to meet everyone!

24 days of school left

First Post

So for those of you who don't yet know, I have been accepted by AFS French Belgium for the 2010/11 school year. I leave in August and will be living with a family and attending high school in Belgium for almost a full year.
I've known for a while that i wanted to go on exchange it was just a matter of making it happen. So in order to do this i am getting all my credits before i leave meaning i'm graduating high school in 3 years. So despite the fact that i have to do a crazy amount of work this year, i know going to Belgium is going to be worth it.
Right now i am in the horrid process of painstakingly waiting for a host family :(
hopefully i'll get one soon!
au revoir for now
