17 days 8 hours 22 minutes

that's how long it's until my departure. i haven't started packing! or even thinking about packing! the days go by so fast. i can remember when i found out i wanted to spend a year abroad. i was in the school cafeteria talking to rebecka, when i just found out i wanted to go. i actually never asked my parents for permission. i just said i wanted to go and we had to go to an interview. rebecka actually told me it was too late to sign up. but nu-uh. :) that was 8 months ago! now it's only 17 days left. !!!!!!
