Hello! My name is Madison and this blog is about my 10 month excursion to Germany from August 2012 until June 2013. I will be going to Germany through the CBYX Scholarship with help from the organization Ayusa. While in the United States my home-base is Kansas. Well, enough about that... This blog is a journal of my experiences while being a high-school foreign exchange student in Germany.

2nd Conference Call

So, we had our second conferance call orientation tonight. We talked about German Schools, how to pack, and what to give your host family as a gift. You pack light... but for all seasons, make sure you have something for all the weather. Take your class notes in english, a German/English dictionary, a backpack, camera, pack your valuables in your carry on. Don't pack past a certain weight. It's all  a lot to take in and is stressful... though I guess that should be expected. What to do with medication? How do I pack everything the right way.

It seems that the calls just leave me with more frustration and confusion... though that should be predicted. I'm stressed and confused but I think that's because I know I'll be missing my friends, family and school for 10 months. I know that I'll just have to wait and make mistakes myself... I'll then write about them so that everyone can know my stresses.

I'm not sure what else to write... my mom is the one who wants me to have a blog.

Only a month and one day until I leave...
