Hmm. I feel the need to blog. But I have no clue what to blog about. I have nothing to report regarding my placement. Yes. This is a post practically bereft of any reference or connection to Rotary. Except for the fact that this is mostly a blog about Rotary. Hmmm....something is going wrong in this post.
I just emailed my Club Youth Exchange Officer regarding the upcoming Jamestown weekend. I also told him about this blog and asked him to tell the other Rotarians in the club. I'm hoping this is the first post many of the Rotarians in my host club read!! I welcome you, Westfield-Mayville-ers.
And yes, that title....I felt like a Frankenstein reference would be cool. OH!!! Did you know there's a town called Frankenstein in Rhineland-Palatinate (Pfalz) (Pfalz is Palatinate in German. Or something like that.)??? Didja?? You need to go check it out. It's a tiny little town in the middle of the woods in the middle of the Administrative district, outside of....Bad Kreuznach, I think? Nope, it's Kaiserslautern. I was going to link a map or a webpage or something, but it didn't work. :( You can go look it up, though. It's nifty.
Wowza.....this is a very rambling post. English teachers, I again apologize. I can write with more direction than this. I promise.
Well....spring break is almost over. :( I saved all my chem for the last three days, of course. Oh well, I'm done with the one chapter. Just one more. And then a week of review, and then the exam - the day after Jtown weekend, of course. Which means I'll probably be exhausted and epically flunk the exam. Oh well. I'm going to Germany next year!!
Speaking of going to Germany next year - three months and a week, actually - I'm terrified. Yep, it's come to the point where I'm...scared. So scared. I mean, in three months I'm going to be leaving the only town I've ever known. I've lived in one town all my life, and I don't even live in the town, for Pete's sake. I'll be leaving the only home I've ever known for a country I've loved from afar for practically my entire life. At this point, a mere three months (I should probably stop saying the phrase "three months." It'll just cause more...problems. lol) before I leave for A YEAR, I don't know where I'll be living. I don't know who I'll be living with (that's you, FHF, or rather ZGF - zuerst(erstens) Gastgeber-Familie) and it's SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF ME. So...it's resulting in a Do-I-Really-Want-To-Leave-My-Home-And-Family-And-Spend-A-Year-In-Germany? sort of emotion. I don't like it. Because I DO want to leave my home and family and spend a year in Germany. I mean, it's Germany. Come on, of course I do. But then I think...it's a whole year. Well, most of a whole year. I'm not going to be able to hug my mom or dad or grandparents or cousins or Zachary for a WHOLE YEAR. I'm going to be learning a new language, eating new food, experiencing a new culture, making new friends - without my own beside me. It's scary. I'm scared. I don't like this whole being-scared-out-of-my-mind thing. I'm not usually like this.
In any case...I'll do as my family reminds me quite often - Suck it up, Fluffy.
And until later, adios, O-Wondrous-Readers-of-my-Blog.
Oh, and P.S. Sorry I lied earlier. That was a lot more to do with Rotary than I had thought.
P.P.S. I got a prom dress!!! Went shopping with my cousins on the day that we were going to go to DC but didn't because of weather. It's awesome. :)
