Third Seminar

I had my third and last seminar last Saturday (I missed the second one). It was mostly for practical information such as how to stay safe and healthy. These seminars really makes it more real for me, I am slowly starting to realize that I'm actually leaving. The countdown is 31 days as of today before I leave. That's INSANE. I'll be done my first year of university in about 2 weeks. Then I have around 2 weeks at home to prepare to leave. Yesterday, I got an email from Fundacion Reto Internacional, which is the program Intercordia is partnered with in Ecuador. I filled two form, one for my host family and one for my work placement. I can't wait to find out where I'll be living, who will be my host family and what will be my work placement! In all, we are 12 Intercordians going to Ecuador. I hope the whole group gets along, I'm sure they're all very interesting people. Oh, I also got my plane ticket! I'm leaving on May 3rd and getting to Ecuador on the 4th. When I get there we'll have a seminar for 3 days and then we're brought to our host families. :):):) I really can't wait!! I've also decided to stay an extra 2 weeks after the program is finished to travel around Ecuador which I'm also really looking forward to. I'll be traveling with a friend from STU who's also participating in Intercordia. It should be quite the adventure to backpack around the country for 2 weeks! I'm pretty close to my fundraising goal too, which is really great. Only 500ish more to go. Well, that's all for now. Ciao :)
