I'M ACCEPTED TO AFS ITALY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. this is one day late, but Thursday around 7 oclock I got a call from Walter, my application advisor with the news that I had just been garunteed a spot by AFS Italy, and that they were now looking for a host family for me. I can't believe it. It feels so much more real, but I can't even wrap my head around it. It all happened so fast! Pretty much only a week went by between me getting accepted by the U.S and then by Italy. From what I hear, I'm one of the very first, so not putting things off is worth it, I guess. I got an email from Walter last night saying that Italy is trying to find me a school and needs an updated copy of my transcript from this semester, which is kind of stressing me out, because on my last report card I had a C in AP US History. But then again my weighted GPA is still like 3.9 or 4.2 or something, so that's really good. I wonder why they need an updated transcript? I dunno, but it must mean things are moving right along. Il mondo è pieno di amore oggi! Ciao a tutti!!

Instant Day-Maker

Yesterday, upon arriving home from school, I opened my email to find out that... I WAS OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED BY AFSUSA!!! My application has been sent to Italy and I should know in the next 4 - 6 weeks. Naturally, I started screaming and dancing and ran into my dad's office... where he was on a phone call. Oh well, my news was more exciting. SO. I guess I'll update again once I'm accepted by AFS Italia, whenever that may be. SO. HAPPY/EXCITED/KEYED UP/FULL OF ENERGYYYYY :D
