So, for those of you who haven’t heard, next September I will be leaving to go on a year long exchange, through the Rotary Club of Barrie. Where? I am not sure yet, I will be finding out February 6, 2011. The plan is basically, leave sometime late August or early September and spend ten months to a year abroad. Even though I am not sure where I am going yet, I am still getting really excited and a little bit nervous too. I am not sure how I am going to prepare in the next six months but it is definitely going to be a learning experience.
I am so excited for Sunday to find out where I am going. I am ok with anywhere really. I would really like to go to Paris, France but I am not getting my hopes up. Right now I am also thinking someplace warm would be nice but that’s probably just because it is so darn cold outside! I am so excited but also a little worried.
Right now, my main worry is the money. Although Rotary pays for allot and my parents are also going to help out, I still need a years worth of spending money. Right now I am preparing by saving a good chunk of my savings from work, but I am afraid it won’t be enough. If anyone has any fundraising ideas, I am open to anything email me at Chantellegabrielle@gmail.
Another thing I am worried about is packing. How am I supposed to pack for a year when I can barely pack for two weeks? Threes no way to possibly bring every thing so how is I going to decide what to bring and what to leave at home? I just hope my parents decide to invest in a new REALLY BIG suitcase for me! J
So that’s basically all of my thoughts for today. I will post as soon as I know where I am going on Sunday! I hope this Blog helps to keep everybody updated on how the process is going. If you have any questions feel free to email me and I will answer to the best of my abilities.
XOXO
