Summer has started!

School ended last Tuesday! I AM DONE WITH AMERICAN HIGHSCHOOL. At least for now. Quite possibly forever.

I've finally heard from my host family! On Wednesday I got an e-mail from my host mother, Warinthip Smithinard, A.K.A. mom-sea. I haven't written back yet, but mom-sea seemed really nice! I am officially excited. I will be writing back soon.

Yesterday, I started Thai lessons. My teacher's name is Mam, and she is also really nice! Yay for nice Thai women. Thai's going to be really difficult, but learning a new language is always fun, so I will try my best.

I've started going through certain things, and figuring out what I want to bring, and what I don't need to. In other words, I have started essentially packing. Scary.

35 days until I leave! Crazy!

June 13 - July 31st...

48 days until I leave!

Crazy!

Pennsylvanian School's Almost Over

So, about a month ago I found out my host family. At first there was some confusion on the Thai side of things, but that was dealt with pretty quickly. Once it was actually figured out which host family was really mine, I was given some e-mail addresses, but I decided to let them e-mail me first. Most host families send the first e-mail anyway, and I wasn't sure how to approach this. How would they react to an e-mail in English? My Thai's not nearly good enough to attempt a broken Thai e-mail or anything. Having plenty to do otherwise, I waited three weeks. Nothing. Okay then, I guess they aren't planning on e-mailing me first. Finally, a week ago, I took charge, and e-mailed them. It was a short, hopeful little note in English basically saying "Hi, I'm Sophia, I'll be living with you guys next year and I'd love to get in touch!"

Still nothing.

Oh well, hopefully I'll get a response sometime.
I doubt they're intentionally leaving me in the dust here. :]

Oh, also, I'M LEAVING JULY 31!

(I thought it was going to be like mid-August, but apparently not. This is so early.)
