Host Family!!!!!!!!!

I got my host family today! The day after I write a blog post about how I'm sick of waiting... maybe I should do that more often =D. I was so excited when my mom told me she got an email that I could now see who they are that I think if any police had seen me driving home they would have put my permit though a paper shredder =D. But next year I will be living in... Martina Franca, Italy!!!!! It is a town with about 49,000 people at the top of the heel of the boot of Italy. Not really near any really famous cities so I kind of have to describe it that way. I have been googling all afternoon and there is only one thing I can find that I don't like about it: it doesn't snow. But other than that I am so excited!!!!!!!!
Oh, and my host family! I have two host siblings: a girl who is 17 and turning 18 in November, and a boy who turns 15 in June. I have a host mom and dad, and one of them is a doctor. I don't know which because it just listed one occupation that wasn't even attached to one of their names. And my host school is just 6 minutes walking away from the house (Thank you google maps!). I haven't sent them an email yet, but I don't think it matters that I've waited a couple of hours because they're probably still sleeping. But I think I'll probably do that now. In Italian. Haha, good luck to them trying to understand it XD

Pretty Much Nothing

Is it good or bad that there's still slightly over 100 days until I leave and I can't sit still? I wish I could just get on the plane to Italy already =D. I went to an orientation in LA this weekend, that was fun. And helpful. But mostly fun. And I got to see my friend Bettina who's going to Russia next year! I've been spending a lot of time studying Italian and just about Italy in general. I now know that the capital is Rome, and that the premier has a cool name that I can't remember. And there are 60 million people. And I think I'm going to start looking into getting a visa. Because that's probably pretty important if I want to live in Italy for the year.
I don't have my host family yet, maybe the one they had in mind for me decided not to or something. I really hope I get one soon though because it would be so cool to be able to talk with them before I get there!!!! Everything is basically up to AFS now, I have done all my paperwork, paid all my fees (sort of, I've done everything I can possibly do to get my parents to remember), and now I'm just waiting. Lots and lots of waiting.
And I think I'm going to start looking into getting a visa. Because that's probably pretty important if I want to live in Italy for the year.
Well as you can tell, I basically had nothing really to say. I just wanted to write a blog entry XD. I just hope I have something to say soon!!!!
