Today's pre-departure meeting went very well. The last couple of weeks have been awfully stressful, with a lot of parents panicking about visas and a few calling to ask when they will receive their placement (we still have 7 students waiting for a host family), but today everything went smoothly: no one complained, a girl who just got back from the US gave a little speech (and OMG she sounded so American, it was actually quite sweet), students were happy, parents were happy (thank God) and, even if I was bombarded with questions and quite exhausted at the end, I was really satisfied. It had been ages since the last time I could say I was actually satisfied with my job, so it was a nice change. :)
