Wow I only have 41 days left till I leave for Thailand, it still does not seem real to me.  It seems like just yesterday i just found out where i was going and that i have 6 months till i leave..now its only like 1.5 months! its crazy! After the orientation this weekend it kind of hit me a little more that i will be leaving and its not all just like a dream.  I really do need to start trying to learn my language more and study up on the culture I don't want to go there completly clueless o_O  I still have alot of things to do before I leave like buying luggage, buying gifts for my family, the language, and making a powerpoint and speech..yayyy! 
For gifts I am still pretty confused I have an idea of what to get them but I dont know when to give what to my families..do i give it to them on there birthday/christmas or just whenever?  I am thinking about getting florida pictuere books, cookbooks, gator stuff, and just florida things. 
Oh goshhh the speech that I am dreaddingg to do.  I am not really good at public speaking and to just add to that I have to say it in Thai in front of a bunch of people i don't know -__-  I should start writing that and working on it.  Along with the speech i have to make a powerpoint to show pictures, I am going to put pictures of friends, family, my school, house, and anctivities I like to do. 
Well I am done writing for now I feel like i put so muchh ahaha oh well (:  Sawasdee ka!

This weekend I was at the Rotary Orientation, our last one we have until I leave.  It was sort of considered "Cultural Boot Camp".  Through out the weekend we played alot of games about culture and adapting to new things. It was alot of fun and the last time I will see everyone all together until we all come back from our exchanges (:
I have 41 days left in America..Soon will be going to Korat, Thailand <3
