PDO and Host School Info

Ciao tutti!!

I know I haven't posted anything in a while…sorry… I've just been enjoying being on summer break and I haven't really known what to post, but now I'l just fill you in on what I've been up to!

So I had my pre-departure orientation a few weeks ago and it was fun. I met some nice people, learned a little more about everything, and just had a good time! It was kind of in a really sketchy part of town though so it was kind of scary….Plus the AC wasn't working and it's summer in Texas, so we were all kind of dying of heat stroke haha. But overall it was good!

I also found out about my host school! I actually wasn't notified by AFS or anything, I just looked at my AFS USA portal and I saw that the tab for my host school information wasn't empty! I will be attending the same school as my siblings (yay!) I'm still not really clear on what I will be taking there (like what year or liceo classico or what), but I'm planning on e-mailing someone at AFS to ask soon! I'm really excited though, because we have to take the train every morning to get to school and I've never taken public transportation on a regular basis so that'll be exciting!!

Other than that not much has been going on, I've just been learning Italian, spending time with my friends and family, working to keep on raising my spending money, and talking with my AFS friends and my host family!! Life is good :) I'll let you guys know if I find anything out!

Ciao! Xoxo
