Last weekend I met my next host family.
Well hopefully they will be my next host family. Things with that are a little messed up, and both I and another exchange student are planning on living there. We'll see, but I'll live with them eventually.
So they were really great. I was worried because so much time had gone by without me hearing anything from them, but its fine. I went to the country club, lunch, a drive to see the forest preserve that I think my next host dad works on, and then to their house to rest and spend some time together. It will just be me, my host mom, my host dad, and the maid living in the house, because both of their sons are out on exchanges now. I think that it will be just fine, I'll be living in a neighborhood with a lot of other kids my age, and I live really close to everything, so getting board, or feeling alone should not be a problem. Also, most of the time I will be living in this house, if everything works out as planned, will be summer vacation, so my host mom will not be working or going to class.
Right now she is a teacher in the morning and night at a university here in MOC, and then on the weekends (friday to sunday late) she is in Belo Horizonte taking classes. But during summer vacation, none of this stuff is going on, so she will be home a lot.
I really like my new host mom, she seems like a really sweet woman, very educated.
The day after I met her, she called me to say that she missed me and was excited to have me stay in her house. I thought that was really nice.
I still have a month, but now I'm not dreading leaving my current host family so much. All though, still, I wont want to leave them.
The new house is nice. It isn't very big, but for 3 people, its perfect. It has bunches of windows, kinda reminds me of home. There is a porch and a yard that I can go to, and i have a comfortable room. My host mom is remodeling the bathroom for the exchange students that will live there. So its going to be a nice place to live. I'm feeling good about it. Except that I know I will miss my host family now. After these 3 months, I've completely fallen in with them, I know my house, I know my neighborhood, family, extended family, so its going to suck to start all that up again. But it will also be exciting to have a bunch of new things, new opportunities.
My second host family has a farm somewhere that they go to, with horses and all that kinda stuff, so I'll be riding again!!! I'm excited. And the cool think about Brasil is that you can find all kinds of things to eat along the way. A coconut here, a berry there...its neat.
So the doubts have been lifted now, and I'm excited to see whats new.
