Hallo! Jeg er in Norge!
Hello! I am in Norway! Tomorrow is the last day of orientation camp, then I get to meet my family. I am super excited. Packing was awful and traveling for 12 hours was exhausting, but being here is surreal.
The departure orientation was in New York.

| These are exchange students from the US. They are going either to the Netherlands, Iceland, Sweden, or Norway |

At orientation we had to put on a talent show showcasing our country. We decided the USA didn't have any talents so we made fun of ourselves. While most countries sang a national song, danced a national dance, and wore national costumes a couple of us stuffed our shirts with pillows to be fat, the other two girls played the role of stupid valley girls, and the boy played Pauly D from Jersey shore. We improvised the whole thing and it actually went pretty well.
Well I have to say goodbye to all the AFS kids tomorrow and say hello to my new host family. I will see some again at more orientations, but some I won't. It is kind of sad, but I am extremely excited to finally be able to meet my host family.
