I probably should not blog on a long weekend, and I feel like a loser doing it ,but it is for the hopeful exchangers who read this blog and might want to know what the process is like.
Firstly, you should probably go at the beginning of the school year to your guidance councilor and see if there is a foreign exchange program affiliated with your school. Rotary is the best, but there are others like the department of state who offers a free exchange, but only to certain countries. After that comes the long part the application, It is not too bad but remember BLUE INK!
I am uploading my country choices as 6 are necessary, and rotary tries to get you one of your top 3.
I can't stop thinking about exchange, seriously ever since middle school I waited for this and whenever I meet foreign exchange students I get so excited. I almost envy them and wonder when my turn will be. Hopefully next year will be my year, and I will be able to live what is said to be the best year of my life.
P.S I am currently obsessed with reading other exchanger's blogs, especially Ben Mau's, whose is so detailed and hopefully mine can be as well. I will post a link on my blog.
Off to study polish
