Nervous

Saturday, December 3, 2011

I am pretty nervous seeing as my final interview is one week away. I will get to know for sure if I am going to be able to do an exchange or not. My YEO told me that it is not super likely they turn people away at this stage, but that it happens. I don't know what I would do if this happens; I would probably die. Just kidding. I know I would find a way, besides they only turn you down if they think you are not ready, and I know I am.  I  want this more than anything.

Meanwhile, It is already december, and I can't believe how fast my last year of high school is going. Pretty soon, I will be taking my SAT's, and I have decided to apply to college next year in my technically real senior year. I also experienced my possibly last thanksgiving with my parents how sad!
