Today is my last day in America. I also consider this to be my last day underage. Hooray for celebrating my 21st birthday abroad!
To celebrate my departure my family and I went out to dinner. Naturally I chose Indian cuisine for my last meal.
It is unfortunate I will not be spending the night in the comfort of my own home…somehow we are one of the only houses in the neighborhood to lose power. Rather than sleep in a house without heat, I have opted to spend the night at the Smoots.
The past couple of days I have been running errands for miscellaneous items abroad. I decided to buy maple syrup from L.L. Bean for my host family. Apparently they sell authentic maple syrup from Maine at L.L. Bean. I will be living with a mother and her 20-year-old daughter. The mother teaches English, which is quite the relief. They also have a cat, which should be an interesting change from Dunkin and Rocky.
My flight takes off at 10pm tomorrow night. It is an overnight flight so I will not arrive until Sunday morning. I honestly have no idea what to expect. It is extremely exciting and nerve racking. Well wish me luck on my endeavors! Hopefully next time I blog I will have actual news to report.
