Visa, School, Packing (or the lack thereof) and umm stuff?

Dzien Dobry Everyone! So I realized that some stuff has happened with regards to my exchange, and I haven’t really shared it with my blog…which is remiss of me because that’s why I have a blog so here’s another post that’s probably too long:)

1. Visa
I sent off my visa application to my travel agency and it got there on June 11th and now I’m just waiting to hear from them saying that I get to go to Poland. (Ok, fine hoping that they say that I get to go to Poland) I hope I get a visa, I haven’t done anything to make it so I don’t get a visa I think. I mean, I’m not a serial killer or a terrorist or a ….well whatever makes it so that you don’t get a visa so fingers crossed, I hope that comes in sometime soon so that I can leave :D

2. School…..
I found out that I am going to an IB (International Baccalaureate) World School. Um yeah, paint me all kinds of intimidated and thrilled (no I don’t know what colors those make). I am intimidated mostly because its taught in English and I am taking a few HL (Higher Level) courses which I’ve heard are like AP classes on Steroids, so here’s to not failing out of high school. But I am so excited because I have heard wonderful things about IB Schools and I am really, really glad that I will be able to take a challenging course work because (for those of you that don’t know) I am a bit of a nerd and I really adore school when it challenges me and when I can be learning lots of new materials so I am super thrilled about that. Anyway, I had to sign up for courses a week or two (or maybe three?) ago and I am going to be taking HL English, HL History, HL Geography, SL (Standard Level) Math, SL French, and SL Computer Science. I’m not going to lie I sort of can’t wait for school to start (yes, yes I am insane) because these all sound like fun classes.

3. Packing….
hahahaha so I am a slacker and I haven’t even really thought about what I am going to bring with me besides the basic clothing, laptop, etc. But really, any ideas for what I should bring?

4. Stuff:
I GOT A NEW CAMERA!!! IT IS AWESOME! its a NIKON L810 and I am in love with it :) So that was exciting. The only reason I was able to justify spending that much money on one thing was because I am going to be having a phenomenal journey so I might as well get a good camera right? I have started looking around for gifts for my host family and I realized that I enjoy buying other people stuff much more than buying myself knick-knacks and whatnot. Anyway, I think that’s all I have to say for now, so thanks for reading this :) I love you guys and feel free to send me a message on this or an email at travels.becca@gmail.com
