Making Progress with my Sponser Club

As I have mentioned before, My sponsor club is not in the town I live in. This makes it very hard to meet with my sponsor club. My sponsor club is the Rotary Club of Salem (Downtown Salem Rotary) and until a couple weeks ago I had never met them. I attend the Dallas Rotary Club meetings every week because I live in Dallas and it works out very well. I was very nervous for my first meeting with my sponsor club because their club is a lot bigger than the Dallas club. I have to say they were actually very intimidating because they were more fancy and organized. They all ended be being very nice and welcoming which made me feel a lot better.
This Christmas was super special to me because next year I won't be here to spend Christmas with my family. I cherished Christmas so much this year and it was wonderful!!
In about 2 weeks I will be going to my first outbound orientation and excited is an understatement for me. While this whole thing is extremely exciting I'm also very nervous to meet all the other outbound candidates. I have talked to a couple people who are away on exchange right now about how the first orientation is going to work. They have told me that it is boring and awkward but I am still excited.
So that's about all that has went on, however things are starting to pick up in pace. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with my school work and my exchange work.
Until next time.
bye (:
