Ta- ta for now my friends!

So I am officially done with school for the year as of yesterday, meaning I am halfway through high school! I know I haven't posted in a while, I have so much to tell you guys! Around spring break time I found out my host family (I haven't had time to post since then!) I will be staying with my previous host family (from this past summer) in a town about two hours from the capitol of Colombia! I am super excited, because I couldn't have gotten a better host family! For those of you not familiar with the Rotary process, I will probably be staying with three host families over the year, and usually you don't meet them face to face before you go to your host country like I did. The weeks are flying by, in about two months I will be leaving for Colombia! I have been in contact with my inbound coordinator and my district chairman from my town in Colombia. It looks like I will be leaving at the end of July, or early August. Until then I have a busy summer, including a mission trip, work, and one last week long Rotary conference where I get to see my outbound buddies one last time before we are scattered across the globe. Today is my last day in my town that I go to school in (it's near Madison) and then I will be living in Door County (where I live when I am not going to school) until I leave. I spent the night with my friends last night and had an amazing time! I will miss them so much, and wish I could take them all with me! Me leaving also means I have to pack for the summer and from what I pack for the summer I will be packing for my year abroad..... I'm packing a lot.

Somehow I managed it all in a suitcase, a backpack, and a few boxes. (As you can see I have added some pins to my blazer since last time.)  See you all in a year! Thank you to all my friends here for making this year so amazing. I am sad to say goodbye, but excited to see what adventures await me in this next year! Ta-ta for now my friends!
