This month has been spent publicising the Zumbathon, getting posters out to people, selling tickets, Zumbathon team meetings and the gathering of raffle prizes!
We had a Zumbathon meeting in Newtown's Exchange, and got the tickets and posters to instructors, and sorted out the playlist and schedule for the event, it was all very exciting to meet everyone who would be helping, and it's humbling to think they are willing to give up their sunday to help me raise money!
My school have finally given me a date for the non-uniform day that I am allowed to hold, 3rd of May, provided that I do two assemblies to explain what it is I'm doing and why we are having a non-uniform day for me..this will be very scary but I need to man up and accept that I will need to get used to talking to large groups of people, even my peers. I will also be holding a cake sale, some of my friends have volunteered to make cakes which is always helpful!
School work and revision is starting to pile up now, and it doesn't help that Ive managed to lose my memory stick but it will hopefully be returned to me soon. Fund-raising is still a major priority although I am happy to have reached £2,000!

Feb/March
February and March brought the beginning of my vaccination timetable, which obviously I wasn't looking forward too, but it made going away seem more real somehow!
My school have allowed me to hold a non uniform day sometime next term which is wonderful because it's a chance for me to publicise what it is I'm actually doing within my school, and raise (hopefully) a fair bit of money as well!
Zumbathon preparations are going well so far, with tickets being printed and sold very quickly!
On Easter sunday my family and I travelled down to Tenby where we met the rest of my family (all 24 of us) (minus one cousin) to celebrate my Aunty's 60th birthday! Apart from the food being lovely and it being wonderful to see everyone, my uncle John kindly asked everyone to donate what they would have spent on the meal to me... a very simple ploy which resulted in over £300 towards my target!
My family have been very supportive of my year abroad, and I thank them all very very much! I am left wondering if they're almost too excited to see me leaving for a year.....?
