Afs-Spain

Today may have been the best day of my life so far. I was in third period when my mom texted me, telling me that I was accepted into AFS-Spain! The past 5 weeks and 5 days have been the longest ever. After I was accepted into AFS-USA they told me that my application would be reviewed by Spain in the next 4-6 weeks. Of course, being the super optimistic person I am, I was hoping for it to come sooner than that. Sadly, it did not. But happy now, I have been accepted into Spain! I have already started the visa process for Spain, and so far it is such a hassle! I had to get my passport notarized and get an apostille and then get that notarized! Whatever that means. I am just very happy now that i have been guaranteed to go abroad. Lets just say that even though the process may take forever, once it is all said and done and there is no more left to do, you are free! I can't get it through my head that this time next year I will be completely comfortable with a new family and a new group of friends and a new language. It all just seems too good to be true.

Well, adios for now,
