I will be living in The Hague, which is in the southern province of the Netherlands and approximately one and a half miles from the coast of the North Sea. It is a city with about half a million people in it, but I looked at the address on google maps and it looks like a very nice place on a pleasant little street. I'm starting to get really excited - I can't believe that I'm leaving in two weeks! I'm still working on my Dutch... hopefully I'll learn quickly once I arrive. I haven't been assigned a high school yet, but I'll make another post when I get news about that. Well, I guess the only things left to do are: work on my college applications, make sure I pack everything, say goodbye to all of my friends and force all of them to get Skype! Just kidding - but at least stay in contact with me via facebook or e-mail (oh, how I love modern technology). At this point, I would just like to thank everyone who helped me along the way. There are way too many of you to count, but a few I would like to mention are Ms. Brier, my wonderful and amazing Dutch tutor; Mrs. Basmajian, my high school counselor; my parents of course; Mrs. Breckheimer; all my friends and teachers who supported me; and the entire AFS staff who made this all possible :)
I'll keep you updated. Tot ziens!
Emily
