acceptance!

So, today I (finally) was accepted to AFS Japan. I'm pretty happy about it! Despite being in the middle of APs, I've decided to post again.
I'm a junior in high school, and I've studied Japanese for the equivalent of 5 years. I'm currently in AP Japanese, and my test is this Thursday. Needless to say, I'm incredibly nervous. I love the Japanese language. I'm a huge language nerd, and to be honest, Japanese grammar is awesome. It's... beautiful. It's SOV and agglutinative! wow, that was geeky In university, I would like to study Linguistics. I'm fascinated by languages and how they work. 
Next year, I might end up studying University Japanese at the college near my school. I hope it works out :) 
I'm really looking forward to this program. I was so disappointed that I couldn't go last year, so it's really heightening the excitement this year. To be honest, one thing I'm really excited about is the food. :D I'm interested in Japanese culture, and I like some contemporary Japanese literature. By the way... Last year, I went to a FANTASTIC language immersion camp in conjunction with Concordia University. It was honestly the best four weeks of my life, and I want more than anything to go back some day, maybe even as an instructor. I met so many awesome people and the teachers were excellent. They have a ton of languages, so check it out! http://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/newsite/
Hm, random stuff about me... I've played the piano since I was little, and I sing. I love music and good books. That's about it. 
Now to wait for the host family information....
