Selection!

Well hello dear readers!
I have some very very exciting news: I have been selected for the Rotary Exchange, however, this is with some exciting twists. My letter read as follows:

Congratulations! We are pleased and excited to extend an invitation to you to become a North Star Rotary Youth Exchange ambassador!

Your placement is designated "tentative" until you actually depart next summer. Before your exchange is actualized, you must satisfactorily complete orientations, assignments and obligations, and your host Rotary club must confirm placement for you. Throughout the orientation process, you will continue to be evaluated on attitude, cooperation, and how you relate with others. ONce you ahve successfully completed the orientation sessions -- barring unusual circumstances -- you may start anticipating your departure from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and your arrival in Germany!


... The letter continues with more details, but I won't bore you! Well, if you have read my other posts you may know that I was hoping to go to a French speaking country, but honestly, I am SO PUMPED to be going to Germany. I met a lot of people that went to Germany at my interview, and it sounded wonderful. I am nervous not knowing any of the language, but I am expecting to change my schedule for my high school and replace my French class with a German one class. Well, I have a lot of reading to do. I thought the excitement would end once I found out where I was going, but right now, I am even MORE excited and NERVOUS! I really want to know when I am leaving and where in Germany I am going. If you want more details about what my acceptance letter said, let me know. It's not much, but I know that I was really curious when people posted their acceptance.

Mit besten Grüßen,
Beth
