Getting Closer...

So it's been almost two months since I posted anything, and I figured it was time for an update. First of all, I made my final payment to AFS in early June, and have been working on raising some spending money. We had a garage sale, which wasn't as successful as we would have liked it to be, but we made some money from it. I also had a conference call with one other girl who is also going to Iceland, a returnee from Iceland, and an AFS volunteer. Right now I am about 7-8 weeks away from departure, and we still know nothing about my host family, which makes my parents nervous, but we should know before too much longer. I decided to make a mini scrapbook to take with me, so I have pictures of my friends and family back home to show people, so I have started working on that, and we just ordered some language CD's to help my Icelandic. In addition to my foreign exchange trip, however, I have also spent a lot of time thinking about colleges, since I am going to miss the year when most of my friends will start requesting information and making college visits and everything. This means that my summer has been far from boring. I guess that's about it for now. I'll post again later!
