just 7 month ago I was a Roman girl

I don't remember what day was it, but I'm pretty sure it was about july 15. My association called me, Giulia was on the phone: "hey Benedetta, there is a family that has decided to host you for your exchange student year, they live in Owensboro, Kentucky".
I was thinking: "what is Kentucky?? is it a place??? Owensboro???, are you telling me that I'm gonna live in a place with this name?? I mean... that's such a rude word in italian O.o"
Giulia: "their name is Carmon, dad, mom, son and daughter"
Me: "great"
Giulia: "we are gonna send you all the information about the place, the school and the family"
Me: "great, thanks, byebye"
Giulia: "bye"

"well...good conversation, but what kind of place is that :S :S :S I'm from Rome, I don't wanna go to live in a little place... I don't even know where is it!  let's go on google maps......mmmmm, ok It doesn't look awful, it's probably better then Alaska"

I was a little scary, I wanted to go in a big city, but after a little bit I start to be excited about that.
"It's America I will have a good experience anywhere".

Now, after almost 7 month here, I'm so happy and I love this place, I love my H-family and all my friends. School is easy and fan. I started to have a real life (it is no longer the life of "exchange student"), so far from my family and my friends but I'm so happy and I decided to stay here. I hope that everything is gonna be ok, I hope to get a Visa and I hope to be able to stay here, next year and for college. :D 


I gotta go, I have a volleyball gameeeee...


FURURE EXCHANGE STUDENTS, DON'T BE AFRAID IF YOU WILL HAVE A CALL LIKE MINE! 


I LOVE YOU ALL, AMERICANS AND ITALIANS.


XOXO
