75 days?! :O

Wow, I am so pumped to leave! That probably sounds bad :P but i'm more than ready to be 100 percent out of my element experiencing something new. My official travel date is January 14th, 2011, yay!I never though "soon" would come. ^^ October went by extremely fast, it still hasn't hit me that tomorrow is November, and I only have 75 days left. I'm starting to get really anxious about lots of things, like who my host family will be, or where in Sweden i'll be placed.What i've been feeling lately is so different and wierd, just generally hard to explain. When I think about leaving, I automatically get butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't even descrive how excited I am, but at the same time i'll be sad when it's time to say goodbye to my friends and family. But anyway, I want to start packing and go to the airport right now!The 6 months I have coming up will probably be the best ones of my life. More and more people are beginning to ask me why I want to leave the place I have been for 16 years to go to a country that is the opposite of what i'm used to. I'm very aware that this experience will be something I can't even begin to put into thoughts. I'll get homesick, i'll get angry, but 6 months is a long time, and before I know it i'll be settled into a whole different culture. Do I know what will happen when I arrive, no. But I do know that whatever happens will create a path for me and my life, which I am in control of. It will be good for me to be on my own early in live, because it will give me a taste of what life will be like someday. On a happier note, all my friends in Sweden are excited for me to come ^^. i'll try to post some more soon!
