Summer and School!

Hi! Just a summer night here in LA, in other words 4:40 AM. Anyway, I got my official school info!
So I'm going to be in


Grade 1?
I guess it's because I'm about to turn 15 so I'm young for my age. But grade 1 doesn't directly translate to freshman year in USA so I'm not doing my freshman year again, nor will I come back as a sophomore. And I start September 16 and end June 7. Like I said before, even with Saturdays, I still have less school than I do here! And also, I start a month LATER than everyone else and only get out one week later. Now I'm just filling out my Visa and continuing with Italian. Other then that, nothing's been going on! I'm just in tennis and I start English online so I can get my credit. By the way, there's no Honors! YES. So I start that July 8th. Other then that, just normal summer things! See you soon :)

June!

Hey there!
First of all, happy June everyone!

So this exchange is coming closer and closer and I'm gonna be honest I have been having some second thoughts, but I'm still gonna do it! They're just doubts. It's just weird that I won't be able to joke around with my friends the same way I do with the Italians, I won't be able to use, I guess American slang? (I use words like basic and ratchet 100% jokingly to make fun of them) because they won't know what that is. It's just weird that EVERYTHING's gonna change. Like I go on the internet like all day, so it'll be weird cutting that down. Everything's gonna change, and it's certainly gonna be scary. But it'll all be worth it in the end. For sure, I'm not gonna cancel this IN ANY WAY (also since everyone wrote in my yearbook have fun in Italy) but the experience is going to be so worth it in every single way, and my fears are mere minor issues.

But on a positive (and not exchange-related) note,
There's two things I'm looking forward to this month,

A game called Animal Crossing: New Leaf comes out June 9! THATS THREE DAYS AWAY AND I AM SO EXCITED I've been playing this franchise since I was 4! It's so pleasant and calm and I love it so much! I've been going on all the tumblrs for it and everything, I'm obsessed, I'm not even going to lie, it's an incredible franchise. I even did a really bad drawing in like 10 minutes out of excitement. I'm such a 5 year old in the inside not even kidding
This says とびだせどうぶつの森 (tobidase doubtsu no mori, or the game's title in Japanese)


But also, MY BIRTHDAY. It's June 26! Either then or before I leave (to see if the new iPhone comes out then) I want a new phone. My contract ends in August (but I can get a new phone early) and I need a global phone I can use there and back. I'm deciding between the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the new iPhone if it comes out then. But I just love my birthday, it's basically 6 months away from Christmas, so every 6 months I get presents! It's equally balanced, and it's wonderful :)

But yeah, nothing's been going on besides anticipating the events and already missing my brother. He's going away to BU in August and he goes out so much, I miss him a lot already..
But my life in completely uninteresting besides hanging out with friends occasionally and going on tumblr! I'll probably blog next on my birthday or something, see you all later!
