I figured since it's been a really freaking long time, I’d update. It is November ….. 14th, according to my computer, and I woke up at 2 this afternoon after getting to my friends house around 5am. Why? You may ask. Well, because last night was the closing night of A Flea in Her Ear, my school’s fall play which I worked on as a technician. And, on the closing night, around 11pm, we have strike. The object of strike is to, well, strike. Everything. Props, costumes, the entire three story set, (there were two of them), and it also supposedly prevents “official cast parties”. For the first time out of all of the productions, I actually went straight back to my friend’s house after the strike, which ended at 3am, instead of going out and about. *pats self on back* because I’m responsible! Which brings me to my next part/first part of title. I, Helen Rosen, have submitted my full app. I had my in-home interview for AFS a little more than a week ago, and right after, that afternoon, I scanned in all of my docs and sent it off for review. My interview was AWESOME. I was extremely nervous/jazzed, but it went super well and the lady was really nice. She said I was already very prepared, and was going to be an excellent exchange student. :D The whole thing just made me feel super warm and fuzzy inside, and I turned my full app in, and the whole thing was awesome <3 I started off doing NaNoWriMo, but with the show I just didn’t have time. Well, I have a three week break until costume build crew is up and running for Fiddler on the Roof (the spring musical) so I’ll have time to actually do homework. I think I went to one day of school this week. Back to AFS, I’m waiting for my acceptance email from AFSUSA, and I have become an obsessive email-checker. I feel like I’m only focused on exchange stuff and the play right now, but I have to readjust back into school and friends and such. Eeeee. I really just have a lot of pent up excitement. There’s a french boy, Basil, here through YFU i think, and he’s ADORABLE. ^.^ He’s quite small and wears tweed jackets. Anyway, I’ll make sure to update RIGHT WHEN I GET MY EMAIL. It’s a waiting game now, folks.
Much love,
Moony
