In December, I was officially accepted to be an exchange student. In January, my application was sent to YFU France and within a few weeks (quick as far as exchanges go), I learned I have a host family in France. I have a hostmom, hostdad, 13 year old host sister and a host brother who will be on exchange in the United States while I'm with his family. They live in a city in southwest France and I learned that the school I will go to has around 900 students!
I have an outbound orientation May 23, when I will hopefully find out when I am leaving. It's also really frustrating because by now most people know that I'm going to be an exchange student, so everyone wants to know when I'm leaving. But I don't know yet! I'm hoping it will be timed just right so that I can meet the person our family is going to host and also meet my host brother before he leaves for the US.
Yes, you read that right: my family is going to (most likely) host an exchange student while I'm gone! We are having an interview next week, but as long as that goes okay, we'll be a host family! I think it's awesome how I am tripling my number of siblings this year. :) Of course no one can replace my real sister, though.
Hopefully soon I'll be able to tell everyone when I'm leaving. Talk to you soon!

O.K., I had to read that about meeting the person your family will host a couple of times to make sure I was hearing what I was reading and then you confirmed it later in the post. So not only will you be with a new family, Triple C (Chad, Court, Corina) will have a temporary replacemnt for you! Very interesting......
ReplyDeleteWow--I about fell off my chair when I read that your family will be expanding and your mom gave in on being a host family. I had to read this memo twice to make sure I understood what you were saying. This person will really enjoy living with your family with all the good times and getting to live in your mansion in Diller. We love you very much Cassey and wish you the best of luck on your new journey...we will miss you lots so you have to keep in touch!! We are so proud of you. Be sure if you write something in French that you explain what it means in English!! :) Cool site you made. Corina is going to be lost without you.
ReplyDeleteI will be lost. But not in a maze. :)I like doing that. It was kind of cool knowing that cassey was going away. But after a while i figured out i might miss her:( but thats o.k. And to Aunt Kylee Smedra my mom was all for having a person. In our family!:)
