bored...

i'm so ready to leave. i know that once i'm there for a little while, i'm gonna be homesick and i'm gonna wonder why i didn't take advantage of my time at home with my family. but as of right now, i want to go. i know that i'm gonna miss my family a lot. and i'm gonna miss my friends like crazy! i'm especially sad about leaving bryan, because we haven't really been able to hang out a lot this summer (and he's supposed to be going to africa while i'm gone, meaning i probably won't see him for close to a year! he hasn't figured any of his crap out yet, so selfishly i'm hoping he'll keep slacking and wait until after christmas to leave. then i can see him. but i also don't want him just hanging around here until then... so who knows) but other than the fact that i know i'm gonna miss everyone terribly, i'm over being in colorado. this could be due to the fact that my house is in the middle of nowhere and gas is ridiculous, so i don't want to drive anywhere. and even if i did, only like 3 of my friends are home for the summer, so i'd really have nowhere to go. but i'm also just so excited to go somewhere completely new! i can't wait to learn about this country that i really know nothing about, although it seems pretty similar to ours, but with cooler accents. i've also read and heard from numerous sources that it really isn't like america at all. which i'm all for! also, i can't wait to meet my host family!! i got an email from my host dad, and he seems great. he's a chef who described himself as "large and loud." seriously? this is gonna be awesome. and the mum (haha... mum) is also a chef. they have 4 kids (3 boys: 22, 20, and 15, and a girl:19) also they have a dog. i'll be living with 3 other ASC girls in their guest house (that's right... their guest house). I seriously cannot wait. all 3 of the girls seem pretty cool (from what i've gathered in my facebook stalking... naturally), and i think i'll get along with them really well. and if not... well, i know there's a reason God put us together :)
i'm seriously baffled that it's less than 3 weeks away. i don't think it's really hit me yet that in less than a month i'm gonna be in a completely different country with no one that i know. and before i know it, i'm sure i'll be saying that i can't believe how fast it went and that i can't believe i'm about to come home...
and when i get home, i have to get my wisdom teeth out. welcome home and merry christmas to me.
o yea... also today i made cds for my parents and the rozums (my 2nd family). they are "i miss kailey" cds. that is right... i've already determined that they are going to be devastated without me, so i made them cds with good songs that will make them feel better, because they will remind them of me (actually, they probably won't but they are songs that i really like and have blessed me lately, so they remind ME of me, and that's all that matters. it makes sense in my head... i promise) haha... i told my mom i was doing it and she laughed at me. she won't be laughing in a month when she's missing me though! she'll be glad that i thought ahead...
