So today i ahve officially changed to my second host family. It is strange, to have gotten used to a family, stayed with them, shared their food, their stories, played tennis and such with them, leanred romanian with them and the like, then all of a sudden start all over again. It is a good thing, and also an uncomfortable thing at the same time. But hey, i am not doing this exchange to be omfortable. :P I want to thank dan and laura for putting up with me for these past three months. i know it must have been a pain to have to try and talk to a kid who doesnt know your language and customs. I am grateful for the paitience and love they gave to me, and i hope that i was a good son for you guys too! So my new family is different than my old one. I am currently living with the stanciu family, across town. My dads name is Mihai, my mothers name is Gabi, and i have a six year old sister named alexia, who is a little cutie. :D I believe i am going to have a good time here. It is different because it is more of a complete family, i am no longer an only child. I am once again a big brother, and i have to get used to that job again, especially since my little sister is alot younger this time. My room is once again extraordinalrily girly, but whatever, i do not care, it is alot bigger than my last one. MY new house is alot farhter away from school this time which makes it a necessity to wake up earlier, bummer. they also dont speak any english, so it makes it alot harder when there is something i do not understand, i no longe have my english transltor. it is like i have gone from romanian I to Romanian II or III and i am thoroughly confused. again it is somethign that i will get used to, and in the long run, it will pay off for me. I have found out when i am going to be going to austria to ski. January 8th. I am soooooo superbly excited i can hardly contain it. Those of you who know me at all will know what this is for me. i am hoping it worksout that i can see my salzburg friends, but if not this time, i am pushing for a salzburg stop on the europe trip in the spring. dont worry, i am working my hardest to make it work! :D
So i sang karaoke again, last ngiht, in a crowded establishment. sometimes i even surprise myself. haha. Sure i was with some friends, but the fact that i did it in the first place is cause for celebration among those who know my shy personality. so yeah, i am coming out of bubble still, but the fact i am coming out at all means this trip has had success! :D ok, i really do not have much to say, but everything is still going well, and I am still having a good time! Christmas is coming, and the air is becoming festive! merry chirstmas, if i do not update again!
