Hey guys! I just wanted to do a super quick update on everything!
My VISA is being looked over by the consulate, so I should be getting that rather soon I'm hoping, which then means I can get my flight tickets! I've started making my pins, and I have to say they do look adorable! I'll post a picture later, of course! I also just found out about our first events in Belgium and that we'll be going to Bruxelles (French spelling!) and to the Palace! Like with a King and Queen and everything! Not like we're likely to meet him, but it's still cool! I've never been in a Palace before! Also, this Sunday (July 21, 2013) Belgium will be getting a new King, as the current one is retiring! Definitely a cool time in history!
What I mostly wanted to post about was my VLOGS! Yes, I started making vlogs. Well, one actually, for now, anyways. It's about 25 minutes and is an Intro type deal. I don't blame you for not watching it, it's way too long and I apologize! The packing one will be shorter, I promise!

I've been doing some shopping, for clothes and such, but mostly for gifts and American things! I've got a bunch of little flags, a BIG one for my room while over there, and napkins, and just random things. I also went out shopping today with Morena from 6950 going to Germany (we live on the edges of our districts!) and went looking for things for our host families! We found world maps and these cheap, cute little books on America from Target. I bought like 4. We also came up with the idea of getting little bottles and filling them with sand and shells from a nearby beach, and then painting on a sun and FL or something cute, as gifts for our families. We'll be in different countries, so it's not like they'll know their similar. :p
Anyways, this was longer than I intended, but my French is coming along thanks to DuoLingo! FUTURE EXCHANGE STUDENTS GOING TO A COUNTRY WITH A MORE POPULAR LANGUAGE: LEARN TO LOVE DUOLINGO.
Okay, well that's enough of that. It's 3:20am and I should be doing something, I'm sure... Wisdom teeth get pulled Monday, so I'm eating enough crunchy food to last me a while. Wish me luck!
A bientot!
