My exchange year in the US - saying goodbye

This year I'm going to USA to be an exchange student. I'm going to live with a family in southern Texas. The household consists of a mom and dad, two little girls and 5 dogs. I'm really looking forward to meeting them all and it isn't gonna be much longer. I'm leaving Norway this tomorrow. I'm gonna stay in Vermont for two weeks on a language an culture camp, where I will learn English, History, Current Issues and Life in America. There will be about 450 students at this camp from many different countries and we will all have the opportunity to learn a lot of new sports. One Saturday we are going on a shopping trip to Boston. I cant wait to get there and to get to know people form all over the world.


One of my best friends Madeleine is also going to study in the US this year and I'm rally glad we are doing this together. It makes it a lot easier and we can understand each others feelings about whats coming up. We are also going to the same camp and hopefully we will be able to sit on the airplane together. Yesterday my best friends and I had a sleepover together fore the last time in 10 months. It was really nice, but also sad. They are all going with me and Madeleine to the airport to say goodbye. That is the hardest part, the goodbyes. It hurts a lot to leave the ones you love behind. I know this is going to be a memorable year, but it's sad that I'm not able to share my experiences with them.
I dont know when i will be able to write again, but i will as soon as i got the chance.


Everything is packed and I'm ready to go!
