I finally got a smaller jacket because my Rotary here gave me a HUGE one. My old jacket fit my dad...went lower than my shorts line.....and i looked like a man in it--but thats besides the point. This morning I put all my pins on it and shockingly I have a lot. I am not sure where they came from but it's cool. I also made a heart with half of the Ecuadorian flag and half of the USA flag and I glued it to the back. It is really cute.
WOOOO HOOO
BTW 15 days. It still hasn't hit me yet. I still feel like I have months and months left of summer to sleep until 12 and tan and go in the pool all day. I am nervous and excited. It is a weird feeling. Sometimes I will think about the scary aspects of the entire exchange year, like constantly speaking Spanish and constantly being confused and tired from using it so much, and meeting my family for the first time and feeling uncomfortable in a foreign house with different customs and food. Then I think about the positive aspects such as meeting all of the other exchange students, many who are already my close friends (JOHOTTIE), making friends in my high school called Arco Iris Feliz (aka Happy Rainbow), a name more appropriate for a pre-school, and finally becoming fluent in Spanish, which I believe (and hope) will happen by December/January.
Congrats Kels! I'm so proud! How can you get pins? Maybe you can take a Kiwanis pin of mine so it can go to Ecuador and come back! Love you babe! <3 Ms. P
