Self introduction

 Hey! My name is Jade Evink, and this is my first blog post about my future exchange. So I'm from Texas, USA D5840, and I'm super happy that I'll be doing my exchange in Odense, Denmark D1461, Odense is located on this region of Denmark called Fyn, and it's a really cute town. 
 I'm leaving Texas on August 5th, and I should arrive the next day in Denmark. I have like 3 flights, and all of my layovers are a long wait. Yikes. 
 I'm already friends with most of the people going to Denmark with me, and we're all pretty excited to ACTUALLY FINALLY MEET. We've been counting down. We have an introcamp around the end of August that all of the Denmark inbounds go to, and I'm dead excited for it since a lot of us are going to be pretty far from each other in Denmark, well, for a Texan, it isn't very far. The others think 2 hours is a far ways away, but I personally don't know about that.
 We had our last RYE orientation for my district Sunday, and all of us (the outbounds) got our official Rotary blazers and trading pins, I felt kind of emotional for a while after that because it really feels REAL now... Like, this whole process has kind of been a breeze emotionally because it really hadn't hit me that, "Hey, you're going to leave in less than 60 days. Everything is going to change for you after that.". It's really surreal for me all of a sudden.
