So, I got my passport in the mail Friday (didn't have a chance to open it till today), which was pretty exciting. ..It looks just like they do in the movies! Unfortunately, my passport picture is hideous due to a miscommunication. Suffice to say I don't like people who don't warn other people when they are going to have their passport pictures taken, especially when said other people have wet hair and are wearing no makeup. But the guilty party bought me forgiveness white chocolate-covered pretzels, so it turned out alright.
This is getting more and more real. I received confirmation of CIEE's receipt of my secondary application, I have my passport, and next month the information packets will be sent out, and (hopefully)I will find out who my host family is going to be. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Language update: I've started studying German again, and am proud to say that I finally understand how to change article adjectives to the accusative form. Progress.
As much as I want to be leaving already, I know that I shouldn't wish away four months of my life; I am going to try to make the most of them. They will, I know, be fantastic months. I'm just so happy. I love my life.
