I'm a horrible blogger.
I'm really bad a blogging. I always for get that I have a blog, and end up writing once every 2 weeks, or less.
I'm living with my new host family now. I moved here on Sunday evening. It's good so far. The family is really nice.
I'm sitting in my room, and my host brother is playing video games in the room next to me.
This is what I'm hearing, "germangermangerman CANON! germangerman RIFLE! GUN! german german GERNADE! 'ENGLISH SWEARWORD' germangermangerman"
It's pretty funny.
My other host brother is in Brazil. We talked on Facebook on Sunday and yesterday, and he is really nice too. He's my age, and we talked in Portuguese, Russian, German, and English all in the same conversation.
But my absolute favorite things was "So you're my sister now :)" It really makes me feel welcome in the family, even though he is in South America right now.
My host parents are really nice. I gave my host dad a book about Alaskan birds (like a bird watchers guide) when I moved in, and he probably sat there for 20 minutes telling me about all the birds in the book. It was really cool.
My host mom and I are going to the gym together today. She got a thing in the mail for 5 days free, and she can bring someone with her.
So if the snow lets up, we're going later this evening.
And in 10 days, I'm going on my big Europe tour.
Brussels, Paris, Avignon, Cannes, Venice, Rome, Prag, and I can't remember all the others off the top of my head.
More soon.
