In a week from today I will have to select my top 5 choices of countries I want to complete my exchange in. Now, this list ins't a very important list as I can always go back and change it in February. In five days my mom will pick me up from school at 3:20 and drive me to Salem (about an hour away) for the first official district meeting! I'm so looking forward to getting to know everyone as well as learning about all of the different countries. We will attend this event called the country fair, where all of the current inbounds talk about their home country and try to persuade us to go there. We also get to meet with all the country officers. At the moment I am definitely leaning towards a South American country (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru...) or possibly Denmark, but as all of the current outbounds keep telling us on our facebook group: keep an open mind and push yourself to try exactly the opposite of what you think you want. Well, I don't really know where I'll end up, but for now I'll do as they say and keep my options open.
PS: 34 days until I'm assigned a country!!
