Everything is Happening So Fast!

So much is happening all the sudden! I think a lot of people know that my host family and my real family are switching daughters. My host sister got here on August 10th and I can't wait until I am finally with her family on September 8th! Also, I got my passport back with my visa in it! Only took 2 weeks! And the tags for my suitcase are coming along with the information about my travel in España! Next week I will start packing, and I am not worried because my host sister (Clara) will help me. We speak Castellano together and every once and a while she teaches me a little Català. We are sharing a room right now, and I actually really like it! We get along really well, which is nice because I have heard some stories of sister's not getting along. I am glad she is here because it gives me a taste of her family, and I know that I will be with some awesome people while I'm in Barcelona! On August 30th we will go to New York City and hangout there until September 3rd. That is when my brother, Clara and my dad go back to Minnesota for work and school. But, my mom will stay with me until September 5, when she drops me off at the hotel! I can't believe I leave for New York in less than 2 weeks! It is all happening so quickly! I guess it is because I have been talking about this forever and I will finally go! I am sad to say goodbye to my family and friends though, but with today's technology I will still see them over skype, whatsapp, viber, facebook, etc.
