Heyy guys, I\u2018m Sarah (17) from Switzerland and as some of you might know, I\u2018m about to start the biggest adventure of my life; an exchange year in the US. In Murphy, TX, I\u2018m going to spend the next 10 month with a new family, new friends, new culture and a new High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My year is going to start on the 31st of July. I will be flying to London first, and then from London to New York, where I\u2018ll be staying for the EF welcome days for 3 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So finally the day has come. Today was the day I could finally board the plane and step on American grounds for the first time. But that didn\u2018t come without any difficulty. We had to get up so early this morning, because my original flight was cancelled, therefore I flew at 7:05 AM already. That means being at the airport at 5 AM and suffering from a worse jetlag than planned. But never the less, my whole family came to say goodbye \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first I didn\u2018t know any other exchange students at the airport, but then I recognized a girl that I had met before. Thus we started talking and spent the whole flight together. I also met three other girls that made time fly by faster while waiting for the following flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
