Hi guys!
So for those of you that don’t know, my name is Becca :) I
am going to be spending my senior year abroad in Poznan, Poland! So, this is my
first blog, and I don’t really know what one does with a blog so I guess I’ll
just do a quick re-cap of what has happened so far:
October (I think?): Local interviews
November: District Interviews- So, I went up absolutely
terrified and sick to my stomach. Then I got there :) I met so many amazing
people and had so much fun that I forgot to be nervous! Of course, all the
nerves and unease came back after I got home and let myself think about all the
what-ifs and I had to wait two weeks to find out if I was accepted and where I
was going
December 17th (I think): I got my letter saying I was going
to Poland! So, funny story about that. (Or maybe not so funny, it makes me
laugh at any rate). We were sitting down at dinner and my friend Will was over
when I casually mentioned that I was disappointed my letter hadn’t come in the
mail that day and my parents looked up at me surprised and were like “Oh, we
haven’t gotten the mail yet” and went back to eating. I sort of maybe freaked
out and dragged Will up to the mail box to get the mail. I live in the country
so my mail box is kind of far away from my house and it was cold and dark so I
drove up to the mail box. I climbed back in the car and couldn’t wait until I
drove back down the hill so thumbed through the mail in the car and then
proceeded to give Will a heart attack as I drove back home screaming “I’M GOING
TO POLAND!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH”
March: Orientation Weekend: This weekend was pretty
entertaining, I got to see all of the friends I made during the interview
weekend and hanging out with them was fun, but I’m not going to lie….the actual
orientation was sort of…..well, long. Now don’t get me wrong, it was jammed
full of lots of super important information, I just happen to have the
attention span of a flee…..oops. But it really was much fun :)
May: I heard from my host Mom and I am so excited!!!!!! She
seems like a really awesome person and I can’t wait to get to Poland. I also
got all of my visa information so now I get to start filling that out….yay? I
have also been working on all of my graduation requirements so that I can
graduate even though I will be out of the country :D Speaking of which, I’ve
got to go finish my Sr. Portfolio, because I’m super on top of things (not). I
need to present it tomorrow, and I sort of only have like 3/4 of it…oops? So,
I’ll try to post regularly when I’m in Poland, I can’t wait to share my
adventures with everyone!
