Denmark!

Checking my email, reading through all the boring, average, everyday mail when, BAM!, there it is. The one email I have been waiting for since I heard  of Youth for Understanding.

At the beginning of this last summer I was researching semester abroad opportunities. I came across a lot of different places, but I really liked a few. I applied for a couple after researching them more, and one of them was YFU. Almost 5 months later I get this email. And oh what a good email it is.

It says:

"To whom this may concern We hereby confirm that Kaia Rubin... will be an exchange student on Youth for Understanding's program to Denmark..."

I didn't even read the rest of the letter till a whole 6 minutes later, I just sat there staring at the screen and biting my knuckles so I wouldn't squeal.

This was an exciting moment for me. People say that in this day and age you have to hold on to the small pleasures in life. This email is the smallest part of the year to come, but it gave the most pleasure to read here and now.
