Goodbye French, Hello Dutch!

I'm excited and shocked at the same time.
Finally!!!
Why am I shocked? The host family crisis in Belgium France hasn't got away so they transferred me to Belgium Flanders and there, someone actually wants to host me! How can I not be excited?
The folks who took care of my program said they were sorry for not being able to find me a host family in BFR and this might let me down since I was only prepared to go to the French part...

I learned a little French at school. I was far from a bright student, I skip class a lot, failed tests, and Mademoiselle hated me. When I found out I will be sent to the French part of Belgium in this exchange program, I thought it was a joke... or a curse. But I took it anyway. I don't care how bad my french was I decided to join a French course as a preparation of my exchange program. I also bought the book 'French for Dummies'.
But yeah typical me I didn't finish the course (God, my classmates were freaks I couldn't stand it). So, I was depending on that dummy book. When I started reading, I got confused and lost. I thought this book was for dummies but it was harder than I thought! Am I even dumber then dummies? Who knows.. O_o
That was the end of my French preparation. After that I was just relying on arriving in Belgium and learn French there. Now, you understand why you don't need to be sorry right? I have learned nothing about French (except for asking a bathroom pass at school) and I'm kind of glad about it HAHA. Seriously, not because I don't like French or anything. I just don't have a really good relationship with that language.

I'm freaking happy that I have to bare no more pressures of people asking about my flights!! I even bought another dummy book (dutch edition). I'm leaving next Monday (September 17th, 2012).

I have to be honest that I know some of my people are not very happy about this decision (agreeing to switch from BFR to BFL), but then again, I don't care :-)
I'm the one thats leaving. If there was supposed to be any disappointment, it should be me who's mad, not you! And guess what? I'm not disappointed at all! In fact, I really can't wait for Monday and have my adventure!

Opwijk, Vlaams-Brabant... See you on Tuesday!!
