I mentioned before on some blogs of mine about the company that works with Rotary to make sure students get to the country they are needed for the exchange. The company, I do not really know if its a company or organization, is Tzell. Things have been going a little slowly for my exchange and departure date. It is really nervousing, my laptop tells me thats not a word, to be going a bit slow because I feel like I messed up. I felt that I was doing something wrong and everything was falling apart. I knew I shouldn't be thinking this because Rotary and Tzell have done this many times. They are amazing and are great and will continue to be great at what they do. I was so nervous because I did not know anything about my flight. All I could think was about my flight already having passed. Could I have missed the day I was supposed to leave? So much in my head. I'm not the type to ask for help to people because I feel like a bother. I'm told by many, even today I was told, that I am not bothersome. I have to get that thought out of my head. If there is something that I wanted to ask or know I had to speak. Doing this is difficult for me because its all i think when I talk to someone. "Elizabeth, you're talking too much. They don't want to hear you anymore." "Elizabeth, really? Don't you think you're being annoying? Look at them. They don't even want to speak with you." These thoughts go through my head. The person I talked to today told me that I had to step up. I had to have myself heard. Letting out my nervousness on the phone helped out. It was all out and resulted in me getting a bit more calm and confident that everything was going to be okay. In the end, there was something missing. There were some documents that had to be mailed to Tzell that I still had. I was unaware and untold that they were needed. If Tzell had never been contacted I probably really could have missed my flight. I still don't know when I will leave exactly but its soon. The days are getting closer and my stomach is winding itself up more. Can't wait to see you soon Japan! Sayonara minna! (goodbye everyone)

Elizabeth, don't let your fear get to you! Your a smart girl! You see, if you didn't ask about not knowing anything, then you wouldn't of known something was wrong. Who ever said step up your game, they were right. It's a great advice because when your in exchange your going to ask many things, and will need help. Ever herd of "if your shy, you won't go anywhere?" Probably not but that's the motto i'm living for at the moment lol. Free yourself. Also don't worry about the other people, stop letting negative take over. BRING NOTHING BUT POSITIVNESS! I believe in you!!
