Everything is starting to come together... In a way. My dad just left to get the last copy of my visa paper notarized. Everything else is finalized, signed, and ready to mail. But it seems like none of this would have happened without stress, excitement, and pressure. Of course, getting all of the information and signatures would seem to be the hardest part. But sadly it isn't.
The wait of hearing of your town, a host family, the school you will go to, or even what your life might be like, is a small piece of what you go through. Working on the visa paperwork is easy and in a sorts fun. But when you sit there and think about what you are going to be experiencing in a few short months, your mind just becomes blown away. Mine is blown when people ask me questions and I think, "how is this person going to get by without me around to do things for them?". Then it starts to become even more real.
I've been counting the days until my departure date. I chose July 31st, 2013 as my date, but sadly I think that might be changed by the company I am going through. But I digress. I have about 10 weeks left in America. Thinking about the time makes me acknowledge that I don't have much time left here. So I should spend it with friends and family, have a good time, and make more memories that I can tell my host families and friends. I mean I'm only going to be able to visit Sweden as a kid, get the memories to tell my family, friends, and children, and be like yeah I had the guts to do it without anyone I truly know there to help me.
As far as I know, I am excited, but yet nervous to go and leave. Maybe a year away from everyone I know will help me. But in the end, I can tell that this will be for the good.
