Sju dagar kvar...
Eftersom det nu är USA jag ska åka till och inte Sverige så är det ju rimligt att jag skriver på engelska och inte svenska. Därför kommer jag från och med nu göra mitt bästa för att undvika mitt förstaspråk. Ni får ursäkta eventuella felstavningar och obegripliga meningar och om ni verkligen inte skulle förstå får ni väl dra till med en kommentar av inte allt för nedvärderande slag. Let's starta det engelska språket (med säkert några svenska undantag) från och med nu.
I have never before felt this feeling. It's a feeling of exitement and fear at the same time. The thing is that it doesn't feel real. It feels like the fear and excitement will just disappear in a week (that is when my departure is supposed to take place, if it isn't just a dream). I can't really accept the fact that I'm moving to the USA in just seven days. I have barely started to pack my bags! How am I supposed to choose what to bring for ten months away from home? I know that I can buy stuff there, but it just feels so weird to pack just one bag for a year away (yes you can only bring one suitcase for your exchange year, and a small bag on the plane of course). For the first time ever I am moving away from my family longer than one week. This is going to be an amazing experience (hopefully) that I can keep with me for the rest of my life, but as basically every exchange student I will have my bad days along the way. I want to say that I am totally prepared for this but the truth is that I am really nervous. It's a good thing that I am excited to the moon and back as well.
Puss & Kram
