As you know I have been filling out paperwork for lets see...the last MONTH!!!!!! And I am just about done with ASSE (going to apply with them first and not AFS, even though I have a scholarship of $1,600 with AFS, it's still going to be cheaper with ASSE). All I need is a recommendation, the health papers, finalize my host family letter, an essay, and an in home interview (which will be Monday evening, and Monday, ASSE will be emailing me the scholarship/financial aid form) and then I can mail it to ASSE in Virgina and wait about 6 WEEKS!!!!! To see if I am even excepted!!
So the reason of this post would be to talk about the doctors!! *hint the title of the post :]* So last week I faxed over the health papers that needed to be filled out by my doctor for ASSE. I asked when it should be ready for pick up and they said that my doctor was on vacation so I should call the middle of next week. I called yesterday seeing if they were complete and the lady said they were, so I called my mom and asked her to pick them up on her way home. After she gets there she calls me telling me they do not have the paperwork!!! I was confused and a little angry seeing as I called after I faxed them, and talked to the lady sitting by the fax, who said it was there, and then after calling yesterday seeing if it was done, which they said it was, and now a call from my mom saying they couldn't find it!!!! Oh boy! Well I faxed the papers over AGAIN and called to make sure they got it, and they did. So today I got a call from the doctors saying it was done and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow, hopefully they will have it!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I just wait everything to be done and mailed and have them email me telling me I am accepted, which will not happen a quickly as I would like it too! It has only been ONE MONTH!! And I am stressed about this and tired of waiting!! All I know is that it is going to be such a long year!!!
Well maybe not!!! My mom and I will be picking up Khrystyna (my host sister from Ukraine!!:]) on August 21st so that will be really exciting!! I can not wait! I'm still in the process of getting my room ready and moving my stuff so she has a place for her cloths and things. And once I get accepted (keeping my fingers crossed) I will fell a lot better and wont have these confusing emotions (until later) and will become more busy with school so I'll have to think about more things than Italy. I have been listening to this really good Italian band called Sonohra and its been getting me super excited about Italy! I really hope I get accepted, and on the faster side, seeing as my application will be mailed in rater early in the year :]
I really can not wait for a lot of things to happen! Khrystyna to come, my application mailed in, reviewed and accepted!, school to start (kind-of)my sweet 16, not yet planed, Kopchik to come back so we can hang out and have a mega movie marathon! Oh there is just so much! Maybe this year being long will be a good thing so I can enjoy my time with my friends and family and enjoy my last year of high school and all the memories to be made! But I was talking to my friend from Germany, Dorothe whom I miss so much, and she was saying how this year just goes by quick and I should spend the most time with my friends and family as I can and live it, just like my year abroad! Live it, don't waste it, and that's what I plan on doing, living.
I'm sure you'll be accepted. DON'T STRESS OUT!
