My first host family has been very cool about giving me information and talking to me. My host parent's names are Oddbjorn and Gerd (my host-dad's name isn't the right spelling because this keyboard doesn't have the letters); they both work at schools. My host sister's names are Oda and Sophie May; Sophie May is coming to the US for her exchange while I'm in Norway. I hope we get to meet each other before she leaves! They have a cat, and a koi pond. My high school will have somewhere around 700 kids, and Oda is going to be in the same grade as I am. I'm excited about meeting my family- they've been really kind and helpful with answering any of the questions I have. I'm nervous about leaving and then starting school three days later, but I know I'll be fine. I'm really greatful to Oda for making me feel more comfortable about the whole situation!
Stord is a lot bigger than I thought it was initially.
I made a lot of money on the raffle- thank you so much to the people that helped me sell tickets!!!
My biggest fears right now are maintaining contact with my family (my friends all know that I'll talk to them if they comment on my blog.... :D), PACKING, and getting to know people when I arrive. I think I've made a good start!
