I just received an email from my host club in Germany. I will be living in a small town outside of Frankfurt! My YEO sounds awesome. He works in the science department of Goethe University, in the Biochemistry department, if I understand correctly. That is amazing, because biochemistry is something that I am looking at studying after high school.
I have been looking at pictures of my host town, and it is beautiful. I couldn't wish for anything more. It's called Neu-Anspach, I believe, and it is stunning. It is separated form Frankfurt by the Taunus mountains. Check it out here: http://www.neu-anspach.de/infos0.html (although the website is in German, so good luck!)
My German definitely still needs some major work, but I'm excited nonetheless. My school looks very interesting. It is called the Adolf Reichwein Schule. The description makes it sound like some of the alternative schools here in Anchorage, check it out: http://www.ars-hochtaunus.de/hp1/Startseite.htm (Again, in German).
My fund raising is going great! I am getting close to the minimum goal I wanted to reach. I can not believe that I have such an amazing opportunity. To everyone that has helped me get to where I am, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
