Hey everyone,

I should have made this post about two weeks ago...but I got lazy. Anyways, I got my travel information! I will be departing for Miami ( my gateway city, and the location of my orientation) on February 8th, two days earlier than I had anticipated. On AFS' website it said that I would return from Brazil on July 10th, but now I'm leaving on the 27th! I'm really excited that I'm staying 17 more days, but on the other hand I'm kind of sad. Every year I go to Israel during summer vacation, for about a month give or take to see my family and friends. This year I won't be going at all because I only have two weeks in between the day I return from Brazil and when school starts. I won't see my family and friends for two years! But, I guess you need to sacrifice some things, to be able to go on this once in a life time opportunity. I have less than two months until I leave, and there is still so much that needs to be done! I have finals this week, I should probably be studying...

I'll keep you posted,
 Nevo
