WOW

Let's start out with this. Spamelot was one of the most amazing esperiences I have ever witnessed (with the help of Amanda and my grandparents). If you are have the chance to go.. DO IT!
Secondly, after seeing that amazing musical I had to go to camp. The camp was at Siloam Springs, Arkansas at John Brown University. At this camp, there were 5 days of intense learning about everything I needed to know about foreign exchange. I re-met some aquaintances and met some of the coolest people who all had the same goals and ideas as me. It was awesome and I got instance friends. ALL OF WHICH WILL BE EMAILING ME THROUGHOUT OUR EXCHANGES!!!! or else... So many questions were answered, most of them ones I never thought to think. Our rotexes and counselors were really cool and real. I thank everyone for an amazing time.
Now I begin getting my visa. I also have my billet d'avion (plane ticket). I will leave August 21st and arrive in Belgium August 22nd. I know a little more about my first host family and know where I will be going to school. College Royal de Marie Therese (or something like it) will be l'ecole (the school).
I am so excited!

I am extremely excited to announce that my fanatastic grandparents are taking me to see Spamelot at the civic center (or something) on Tuesday. And of course I will be taking the greatest person to watch British humor with... AMANDA!! I am ecstatic!
Speaking of Amanda, I did something super dumb today. I went to go feed her dog Bella and turtle Garth while she was out of town. But then I accidently set off the alarm and since I don't have an alarm system myself, I could not turn it off for the longest time even though I knew the code. I had finally gotten it off and was about to leave when I heard voices outside the house. Lo and behold... THE POLICE HAD COME. I was extremely embarrassed as I explained to them my situation. They were cool with it but took down my information. I am so embarrassed.... Amanda forgive me for making a fool of myself!!!??!?!?!
