For the lesser informed...

Alright here's the latest:

• SCHOOL!!!! Just picked out some of my classes, for next year. School starts on August 30, and we will be taking a class trip to Berlin for three days during my third week!!! I'm REALLY looking forward to that. My school is called Elzendaal College and it's in the city of Boxmeer. http://www.elzendaalcollege.nl/ That's the school's website. Beware though, it's all in Dutch....
• Also here is the website for the town I'll be in, Ven-Zelderheide. http://www.ven-zelderheide.nl/ It's all in Dutch too....

Even newer news

So today I got my flight schedule!!!!!! YAY, it's all getting so real!
Anyways I will be leaving on the 18 of august, but it is mandatory that I be in NYC on the 17. That day I have a big orientation, which is also really exciting because they're really fun!
So from NYC I will be flying to Reykjavik! YES! ICELAND! Kind of random I know.
From Iceland I go to Amsterdam!!!!!!!!
And in Amsterdam I have a four day long orientation.
Not exactly sure whats going to happen after the orientation though, my host fam will still be on vacation so I will have a temp host fam. So we will see...

Tot Ziens!
