It's been roughly 48 days since I recieved my acceptance letter from Rotary Youth Exchange. It's been roughly 48 days since I've thought of nothing more than what awaits me next year. The day when I will finaly find out what country I'll be going to next year is slowy creeping nearer and nearer, but untill then I'm pretty much left in the dark. What I do know is this: I will be going to somewhere in Europe, there's a good chance I'll be going to either Belguim, Norway, France, Finland, or Germany, and an ever better chance for Belgium or France. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I'm constantly day-dreaming of the adventure of my life I'm about to embark on but with the excitement comes fear. Don't get me wrong, I understand what a great oppertounity this is, but one would be daft to dive headfirst into something like this and not be scared. Regardless of how I feel this is happening and now we've reached the point where I explian why in the world I am typing this. Durrning the course of the following year/exchange I will be doing weekly if not daily updates on my situation to, if anything, keep my family and friends up-to-date on what's going on. Another reason for this blog is so I can have something to look back on, a clear memory of what is going to happen in the following year. However, if you are not one of my family members, friends, or even an aquantince I'd still love to have you join me on this trip to a new world.

Untill next time, Alyssa.
