As it happened, I wasn't the one to see the email first. In fact, I was in Seward camping with friends, and the morning of our last day, I got a call from Stacey, my YEO...me:"Hi Stacey how's it going?" Stacey: "I'm looking at an itinerary right now" me: "................" Stefan my friend "Breath Sara, breath" me: "Stacey, when do I leave???????" Stacey: "Next week, the 20th, Thursday morning about 1am" me: "I have a week!.....oh my gosh I only have a week........" The rest of my friends "wow Sara you leave in a week!!! Darn....we're gonna miss you!!!"
And then I started breathing again. Right away I called my family. One of my brothers, Andy, picked up the phone, me: "I'M LEAVING IN A WEEEEEEK!!!!!!!" Andy: " Well I'm leaving in about 15mins for the next two weeks for a job..." me: "Wait you'll be gone? I won't see you for a year!!! *sad*" Andy: "Oh well. See ya" And he passes the phone to my mom....that's my brother for you. :) I talk to mom, and call my dad and share the news. We're all excited...and stressed....and nervous.
(Thankfully as it turned out Andy my brother came back from work yesterday, because they had to stop the job he was working due to the generator blowing....or something like that haha) So I get to see him before I leave!
So....here I am, this will probably be my last pre-exchange blog....I can't believe it's really here! I've known for about 9 months....and when they tell you those months fly by....boy do they mean it. It feels like it was only 3 months ago I found out I was accepted as an exchange student. I don't have much more to say, for once I, Sara Zwink, am speechless.
Obrigada, God bless, tchau!
