Waiting on that darn visa!

When AFS said this whole process was 99% waiting, they weren't kidding. I sent my visa in last wednesday, and i hope that the consulate will send it back to me in time...i'm 8 days till leaving! Besides that, I got my host family, and they're all very nice people. I'm in Durbanville, about 20 minutes outside of Cape Town, and I'm going to Curro private school - they said they'll take me camping as soon as I get settled in there! Very excited
