"If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change" Taylor Swift

Apple's advertising campaign from 2002 (I think).One of the best commercials according to me (after Snickers road trip commercial though). Love the message with it.

Happy Easter

I loose myself in a daydream

Ahhhh, I think I’m gonna explode if I don’t get to know were I’ll be placed soon. I’m checking my email like 3 times a day, checking the mailbox with butterflies in my stomach and every time the phone rings I get a little hope that it might be STS. But at the same time, the moment I’ll know where I’m gonna start high school this fall, where I’ll be spending 10 months away from my today life, everything will change. I will suddenly have a more clear view how my high school year might look like. Expectations and imaginations will die. And the most scary-/ exiting part…everything will feel so much closer and more real. Because right now it feels more like a dream faraway, an untouchable dream I’ve dreamt about since I was 7 years old! 

  

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

Just because I got accepted didn’t mean I could breathe out and relax, my dream was not that close, yet. I had a long way to walk and a lot to do on my way: Personal letter to my host family to be, Parents’ letter to the host family, teacher’s recommendation and headmaster’s signature, both from my former school and my new one, Photo album, doctors confirmation of a heath examination (just to inform you guys out there, the health examination is very profound).

But it wasn’t that hard at all. Once I got started I found it very enjoying doing it. Though I remember running to the mailbox just the minute before the mailman came to clear the  postbox. 

Some of the photos I chose for my photo album.  

The first day of forever

  Today I thought I would share the moment of my life: The day I found out I was accepted as an exchange student by STS.

My brother and I had spent the last days at my grandma and grandpa. When we got home my dad said that I had got a mail from STS. It had been 2 weeks since the interview and I never made a big deal of it, just started open it like any other mail. Because I thought they had sent me the summation of my interview that we asked them to send.  But when I opened the envelope my whole body froze. Cause on the paper inside it said with big, black leathers: Congratulation Emma! You have been accepted as an exchange student by STS.  I can’t explain the following seconds. My head, my stomach, my whole body, I didn’t knew if I should laugh or cry of happiness. I wanted to jump around and scream.   I GOT THE FEELING OF A DREAM COMING TRUE.
