After school I walk home like always, excited to tell mum the news. I'm going to be going to Norway as an exchange student. As I walk up to the door I see mum's car, she must be home already. I walk in the front door chuck my bag on the floor near the stairs and greet mum.
"Hey mum, guess what" I shout down the hall. "Hey welcome home!" she turns around from the couch to see me. Noticing that my mood is different from usual she asks "you seem excited, what happened?"
I run up to sit next to her and tell her everything "Well, I was chosen to be the exchange student for this year. Which means im going to Trofors." I explained.
"Thats great honey, When are you leaving? Do you need anything?" she starts to digress into questions making sure I will be ok and I know what Im doing. I shake my head and smile brightly at her before clearing everything up and reassuring her that ill be just fine.
"I'm leaving Friday, so I have time to relax and get to know the girl I'm staying with before we go to school. Ill be fine ok and Ill check in with you if anything happens ok" she sighs and lets it go but soon a look of panic crosses her face. "Alexa thats tomorrow you need to pack" my eyes widen and I get up from the couch as fast as I possibly can. "crap it is oops gotta run"
I take off down the hall and up the stairs to my room. As I make it to my door I hear my mum call up to me. "Want some help? I dont have anything to do" I spin on my heel to look down the stairs at her "Thanks mum, what would I do without you?"
She makes her way upstairs to help and I go in to start sorting out outfits and get my suitcase. I will be gone for a month so we pack a few outfits, my toiletries, some personal belongings I never part with, like the photo of my mum and dad when I was little, my computer, my phone and computer chargers, etc. By the time we were done we were exhausted so we went to bed without food.
I couldnt believe it took us 2 hours to pack everything we thought I would need. As I got into bed I hoped the girl I'm staying with is nice and that everything would turn out fine like I said it would. I couldnt wait to see Norway, it took me a while to get to sleep but eventually my eyes closed and sleep overtook my excitement.
