Hello for the First Time!

Well, this is my first blog (ever) and since I haven't even told anyone about it yet, I guess it's kind of like I'k talking to myself, haha.

So, while I receive notification from AFS Russia that my application was accepted and that I got the NSLI-Y scholarship a few weeks ago, this is the first time I've actually written about it! I've been soo busy, that it's kind of crazzy to even think that I actually got either of those things--let alone both!

This did not completely occur to me until after I had received both, but I guess I was super lucky to have gotten accepted by AFS Russia, AND NSLI-Y... both for Russia, yearlong! I am soo excited!! I have had so little time to even think about it, that it's still a bit of a shock to think about it. I'm going to Russia. Next year. The whole year. Wow.

Of course, it is super nerve-wracking to know that I speak zero Russian at this moment. But I am confident that I will learn quickly if I work hard (which I will). XD

Anyways, that's about all I have time for right now, so I shall say good bye! (For now)
