This morning was my guidance meeting where I got to make next years schedule and talk about my senior year abroad. We made sure I had all the classes I need to take for junior year and made sure I would have enough credits to graduate. I need 22 credits and at the end of junior year I will have 22 1/2 credits! The classes that I need to take in Italy are an English class, economics and gym, which I think a lot of schools in Italy will have. I will also try to transfer some of my credits is possible. Last night I typed up my general email and sent it to everyone I knew with an email and asked them to forward it to everyone they knew. I also found some yummy looking recipes for Italian cookies that I will take pre-orders for.
Online I have started filling out the YFU application and I have the papers that need to be filled out by hand in a pile. When I complete the online application I will mail the rest of the application. The only thing that will take forever will be getting my transcripts and GPA from school, which I will have by uh August!!! Which seems forever. I just want to finish these applications and be accepted, but I will have patience because the wait is worth it.
So today I went online to check my email hoping something came in. The website said I had two new emails and my first thought was my exchange. I logged in and was excited to see an email was from AFS. I clicked on it as once and it was a page with a link and my user ID and password to start filling out my application! I was extremely excited and began reading everything. I printed all the documents that needed to be filled out in person and realized that this application had a ton of paperwork, just like the application for YFU.
I have been teaching my younger cousin, the one I am babysitting, Italian and it has been so much fun!! I feels great to test my knowledge and to speak it and make sentences! If my family were to host I would love to have an Italian host sibling cause then I can practice my Italian and help them with their English, plus they might know how to cook some amazing Italian meals.
Off to fill out some more paperwork!
