Nervous + Excited

The clock is ticking. I sometimes just sit around and think of the upcoming days of waking up in a new country. The aromas of foreign food tickling my nose and the Chinese language that trickles in my ear, and soon I hope, out of my mouth. The time is slipping, and now I have less than 2 months in Texas.  I am so excited to embark on this journey of growing and learning and building bridges in Taiwan, but at the same time, I am nervous of how I will adapt to life in Taiwan. There are so many differences in cultures that each day is sure to be an adventure.

I have received some great news. My guarantee forms have finally arrived. :D. I have been informed of my first host family. I will have a mom, a dad, a 10 year old sister, a 17 year old brother, and a 16 year old sister who will be in France for a year with Rotary. My father is a Rotarian member of the club that is hosting me. I also will be attending Taipei Kai-Ping Culinary High School. This is sure to be an adventure as it is a school known for their cooking. I am not the best of cooks, but I do love learning and especially... EATING.

My host district is 3480 in which I am very excited to be a part of. I know they are a wonderful district and have known some wonderful exchange students from their district who lived a year in Texas.

My feelings in total right now? Nervous + Excited.
