About a week ago, some one came to my school to make a presentation on how to maximize my year abroad. He told all the things that we were doing that would minimize our experience. I wish I had taken notes. However, what I did do was go back home, excited with anticipation, and made a list of "More Than Sixteen Things I Have To Do By October ** When I Turn 16". Here are the little adventures:
1. Make at least one French friend or have a conversation with a French teen.
2. Dance or go dancing.
3. Join the ******-******** and volunteer or attend at least once.
4. Have at least two close American friends.
5. Join an after-school activity (Zumba, circus, cool exercise class)
6. Cheerlead?
7. Blog about all the these things after I do it.
8. Get a job (depends).
9. Speak better French (specifically speak).
10. Explore.
11. Hang out with at least three other kids from my school that I've never talked to before, outside of school.
12. Submit an article online.
13. Get as much sleep as possible.
I'm excited. Let's see how this goes!
