Last weekend I went to my AFS preorientation! It was an overnight at a camp in Poland, ME. I met lots of people going abroad next year (including four other kids going to Germany) and kids that have been hosted in America this year. There were a lot of German kids, so I got to practice my accent on Hendrik (from Baden-Württemberg). We had workshops about what to expect when we go abroad, but we also had a lot of free time to get to know each other. We went down to the water and played guitar and made collages and boats (out of rice cakes). We even had a bonfire and made s'mores. Overall it was a lot of fun and made me very excited to leave.
Oh, and a couple weeks ago I participated in my first CBYX conference call. We talk about German culture and politics and what to expect. It's pretty basic for me but still good to know.
But, I still don't have a family or an official acceptance from AFS Germany.... so we'll have to wait on that. I'll be updating as soon as I find out :)
