angiechees’ pre-exchange experiaance.~

Since I have like two months left, I want to move to my real blog. I kind of hate it how it looks so empty. I will start writing in it probably twice a week so I can practice doing that when I'm in Japan. So here's my the link to my other blog!!

My NOW blog.

I got a cell phone. It's AT&T!

So I guess they called me like 3 times but I wasn't home because I was out of town. Today I finally know when is my pre-orientation. I'm so excited. It's this Sunday on the 11th. Time 1pm to 4 pm. It's in Nevada city so we have to drive there. It's only like an hour drive so that's good. Gosh I hope I can meet other people who are going to Japan too with me!! That'll be awesome. c( =

I emailed my advisor asking if my money made it through okay. And it did. So I'm very happy and pleased. So it's official. I paid it all!! Now, I'm just waiting for my VISA info to come in. And I think that's all I have to do. Oh yeah get a host family too! Gosh I just want to know. This girl I talked on Facebook she told me she already received her school info, family, where she's living at, since NOVEMBER 22!! OMG! But she's with ASSE though. Gosh she's so lucky!! I'm getting impatient. But I'll manage.

Okay, it's done and paid for. Well I haven't exactly sent it in yet. I got to do it tomorrow, on express mail so it can get there like on Friday or something. Gosh I can't wait until they receive it. Then I can get that off my back and checked off my list. All I need is to apply for a VISA and purchase my plane ticket to LA and then after that is to just await for my journey to come. = ) Oh I forgot to mention, I also need to know who my host family is, duh!

Well, today I also received my traveling information, finally. It tells me what to do, ya di ya di ya and then the information on my flight, when I'll leave, what time, where I have to go, my before departure orientation. Gosh today is such a happy day for me! I also know when my last day of school will be for me. It'll be March 12th. I know it's a Thursday, but I don't want to go to school on Friday the 13th. To be on the safe side, I don't want nothing to happen to me before my departure so I'll stay home all those days. c[ = I know, stupid, but hey I want to leave feeling good and safe. And I want to practice packing what I need to pack, but I can't yet because I don't know what part of Japan I'll be staying in. XD Gosh I want to know badd..

So I received my payment bill, well actually a couple of days ago. I have to pay $6200. Gosh hopefully I can send that all in by tomorrow. It's almost Christmas guys.

So I am reading my Culture Trek book that came along with other booklets about orientations. I haven't even receive when is my orientation. So Culture Trek is like this heavy, fat book filled with a lot a lot of informations about before your departure, what to expect, during your exchange and after your exchange. I don't know why, I like reading it. I especially like rereading my acceptance over and over again. I think I might just frame it. It evidents of my accomplishment I have done. Anyways, yeah I like reading my Culture Trek book. It makes it for me feel real that I am really going to go.

AND so I met a lot of awesome people who are also going to go to Japan with AFS. I can't wait to meet them in person. Some of which I'll get to ride on the airplane with them. So you guys I never rode on an airplane before in my whole life so you must take care of me!! XD Lol! And those lucky people will be this awesome girl I just met name Ariel and this guy name Sean. There was originally another one, his name was Colin, but he's with YFU now because he received like a $10,000 scholarship! I would never give that up! Yay for him for getting it!!

Gosh I wish 91 days would pass already. I'm too eager to do anything. I already gave up on school work which is bad. I have to catch up and now pull an all-nighter today to do some extra credits and such..

Just now I checked the mailbox and sitting in there were 2 big packages label "To Ms. Angie Cha" AHHH!!!! I practically screamed and ran all the way home!!!! OMG I am so sike!! I AM NOW OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED TO AFS-JAPAN!!!!! 

I don't know. I just wanted to name that this blog title that. Well anyways, there's not much to say about my pre-exchange. I just scanned my letters I had to write for my scholarship and send it to them. I launched my official blog. Well I already made that a couple of weeks ago. And so....well I'll tell you a little about myself. I'm in theater at my school. I wish to become an actress and a music producer. I plan to major in Music and Drama at UCLA. Yeah...ayways, in theater we were suppose to write scripts. So I wrote mine on Black Friday. Yeah and the whole class is like going to perform all of their scripts and like most of the classmates are in it. And we perform it on Tuesday, the 16th. And I can't wait since this is like my first real performance to show off my acting skills. XD
Maybe I'll record them and post them on here. But who'll look at it anyway? Lol.

If you didn't know I almost gave up my blog-life yesterday. I was crying and sobbing because I knew I didn't get the Global Scholarship but shhh no one knows that. Anyways, today was a big shocker for me. At exactly 5:45 pm, I checked my email and there it was. It said,"Congratulation on receiving the Global Scholarship. We are awarding you blah blah.." I AM SO HAPPY!! All I needed was this much money. And now I can go now. I have the money. All I need is to get my VISA and of course get an acceptance letter from AFS-Japan. Which I hope I do. See how close it is for me. Only 98 days left until March 17th. Yes that's when I leave. =)

I LOVE YOU AFS SCHOLARSHIP PEOPLE!!!!~~<3
