So much to do...

Since I am leaving in about 28 days, there is so much to do, but I can't actually do anything yet... My current To Do List:

• Set up bank account and debit card
• Complete and turn in Visa form (yes I am not a U.S. Citizen)
• Buy/make host family presents
• Decide what to pack
• Pack
• In-state orientation
• Dinner with scholarship sponsors
• Finish the school year
• Study for finals
• Study Japanese
• Maybe buy a laptop to take with me to Japan
• And do whatever else I forgot to put on this list

There are a couple other things that I didn't put on the to-do list because they are unimportant.  However, the  important things I did put on the list are not really being completed either. I can't set up a bank account and debit card until my parents talk it over and make a final decision. I can't fill out my Visa form until YFU gets back to me and answers some of my questions and that won't happen until the next business day (tomorrow). I can't prepare my host family presents yet because I don't know who my host family is yet and I have to wait until my in-state orientation because they will give me more details about it then. I can't decide what to pack yet because I am still waiting for a lot of info from YFU since I haven't gotten my acceptance package yet (snail mail is soooo slow....). I can't start packing because I don't know what I need to pack yet. I can't go to my in-state orientation until June 4th. I haven't started preparing for finals yet because they are still a couple weeks away and I am suuuuuch a procrastinator >_<   I haven't made much progress studying japanese either because again I am such a lazy procrastinator..... Lastly my parents haven't bought me a laptop yet because they don't even know if they want me to bring one to Japan.

Basically I am probably going to be super rushed trying to get everything done in the last week..... oh boy and the week before I leave is finals too..... hmmmm wonder how my grades are going to turn out this year :P But fortunately, I am used to being a procrastinator and I always do everything last minute so I have gotten pretty good with crammed schedules. Anyway, wish me luck with all of this stuff. I will keep you guys updated!

Oh and one more thing. people always ask me about how to get started as an exchange student and how to apply to an exchange organization. So here's a link to my Vlog on Japan:

I hope to get another post up tmrw.... IF I get my acceptance package from YFU that it. I am trying to be patient but frankly I can't get any preparation done until I receive it soooooo I really hope I get it tomorrow! :D :D
