Waiting by 311

6:31 PM |

So yesterday my advisor told me:
I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY AFS USA!!!!!
this was so awesome and I was on such a natural excitement high it was amazing and I felt so happy:)
Until I realized that I have to wait for AFS France to accept me
and apparently it might take 6-8weeks :/
so you know what that means...... it means that I am officially anxious, excited, and nervous.
So now lets play:
THE WAITING GAME
1. Submit Application (done)
2. Wait for Interview (done) - I kind of did this before I submitted my app.
3. Wait to see if your accepted by Native Country (done)
4. Wait to get accepted by your Host Country (done)
5. Wait for Host Family(waiting)
6. Wait for Departure(waiting)

Money Money Money by ABBA

5:03 PM |

So I received an email today, well a lot of emails from AFS and associates.

The first one was from the scholarship service letting me know that I have to send in a few forums.
The second from my AFS advisor stating that she received my App. but I forgot a few minor details so I'm going to go fix that problem when I'm done with this.
Lastly, the third was from the AFS Financial Wiki. They are finding ways to help AFSers get to the Countries. SO they have given me a ChipIn (the thing to the right of the page). This gadget allows those generous people reading my blog to help me achieve my goal of going to France. Also the money goes directly to AFS so there is no middle man.

Well I need to go get this stuff in so
Please help me by donating it is 100% safe and any amount helps :D

My Name Is by Eminem

5:21 PM |

Introductions are in order, and the easest way to introduce myself is like this:
Birth Name: Marche but you can call me Adrianna
Age: 17
Grade: 11th (Junior year in America)
Current Residence: Atlanta, GA
My Family: Mom - Marcia & My Brother - Sedrick :D

That a little about me, now let me introduce this blog. WELCOME :D
I am making the blog to keep track of my adventures as an exchange student(hopefully). I have spent months trying to find the right program and I have gone through many options. I have looked at YFU, ROTARY, CIEE, AFS, and INTRAX. So I have officially picked the program I feel that is right for me and that program is (*insert drum roll here*)...........AFS. It was a hard decision for me to pick AFS but I just had to pick the right one.

First, YFU was the most cost efficient but they only send students to Britney, France.
Intrax - had very lack luster communication with me so :/ .
CIEE - leaves in early August and I work at a summer camp in the beginning of August so that was a no go (even tho I know a lot of people who have went through there program).
Lastly Rotary - You switch host families half way through your exchange, which may help some students but I think that knowing that I would be switching families wouldn't allow me to to get close to my first family.

So AFS just seemed perfect they stay in contact with me and I love them :)

I have sent off my Pre-App and I am awaiting my full application....let the adeventure begin!
