Accepted!!

Hey guys-
I just got a call from AFS-USA (which is the US branch of the study abroad program) and they have accepted my application and are sending it to Panama!!
I have been hoping and praying for this phone call/e-mail since I turned in my application!

Also, earlier this week I had my interview with an AFS liaison here in Oregon. She came to our house asked me questions about my family, what kind of rules and chores we had, what kind of places I have been to, and how long I have been away from home. This was pretty exciting because it really made me excited to meet my host family!  I know I am jumping the gun a little bit because my application is still being reviewed, but I can't wait for this experience to really start!
