August 11th is coming so close it's crazy! It's still pretty surreal that I'll be leaving so soon to another country where I don't even speak the language.
July has been and will continue to be a pretty hectic month because once August comes, my family will be busy tending to our European visitors and there's a lot of them.
Anyways, college admissions classes started yesterday and it's still a little bit daunting that I'll have to apply for colleges while abroad and also without having visited them. But I hope that when I finish this class I'll be prepared for the college admissions process. Speaking of college, my AP scores came in and I did not do too well in chemistry but whatever. Chemistry and me were not meant 2 be. I got 4s in Language & Composition and US History, though. I'm really happy I passed my expectations for those two classes.
I have also been doing summer school to finish my credits and it's a lot of work. I really have to focus and be self-motivated in order to finish all the work and graduate early. I think that the self motivation will help me in Germany because I won't learn all the German I need in language camp. I still have to work on my German like learning new vocab and grammar. I've been doing Duolingo but I don't think it's helping much because it just tells you that you're wrong and then gives you the correct answer without any explanation.
I still can't believe that a year from now I'll be back home but with a full exchange year behind me. And I'll be able to speak a new language! But before I leave I have to pack for the year and I'm having a really hard time with that. It's incredibly overwhelming to have to pick and choose parts of my life that I'm going to bring in just one check-in bag. I've been postponing starting to pack because it just feels like too much to handle. I'll probably start packing next week, though.
The next time I post will probably be when my cousins from France come. I'm really excited to see them~
Bis bald!
