Well as I mentioned in my last post I wanted to change my exchange to a year. AFS has informed me that I can't. I try to understand since I did sign up for the semester. I desperately want to stay for a year though. Though I am sad I only stay for a semester, I am going to enjoy and appreciate what I do have in front of me. GOOD NEWS THOUGH! AFS has confirmed my host family and where I will be living. I will live in Formosa, Argentina. A town in the north of Argentina full of warm, loving, and caring people. My host family consists of my father (Eduardo), my mother (Olga) and my host sisters (Susana and Adriana). Susana doesn't live at home though. Adriana is 13 days older than I am and I have been talking to her. She's a beautiful person with great intentions. She is nothing but nice and welcoming to me. I am counting down the days until I get on that plane in Pittsburgh and start my journey to Argentina. Already my host sister has introduced me to some friends of hers and her cousins. It's a comforting thought I am going somewhere that I have already established some friends. Thanks to Facebook I have connected with other AFS students from all over the world going to Argentina. I am excited to meet them in August at our orientation. They're all genuinely kind people who have the same emotions and feelings I do every day. It's nice to know you're not alone.
School's over and summer is starting. Now all that's left for me to do is wait. Though it seems like the days pass slowly before I know it (and my family knows it) I'll be saying my goodbyes. I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this, but if so expect my next post to be when I'm in Argentina. Hasta luego! (See ya later!)
Besos, Kristen
