8 more weeks!

Wow! I can't believe i'm going to be leaving in only eight weeks! Ari just left and now I can finally start preparing for my year. I felt i could not start my year until she left because she would be come very jealous when ever i talked about my up coming year. She may disagree, but she did not show much interest when I was excited!
I foudn out who my host family was back in march! I was sooo exicted! I actually got my first message fromt hem on my phone, but I was shopiing with marium from Gerogia and I did not recieve the message in time to repond. I did not know who it was or what they were tryign to say. It was in German of course, but it was a phrase that is not really translatable. I was on the computer late that week because I was on Spring break. I was able to start talking to them and I was elated! I will be livng with the Reise/Hemerle Family! This includes My host mom, Manon, my host dad, Peter, an older sister, Saskia, and an older brother Ilevan. My host siter doesn't live with us, but she lives in ilmenau with her boyfriend. Ilevan goes to a police academy and come home very other weekend.
Last week i found out that my host paretns are goign to be like foster parents for two littel girls named suzzane and Michele. They are 12 and 4. I was not sure what to think when i found out. All i knew was that the year i thought I was gonna have had taken a turn. I belive it will make the year much more dfferent. I will be an older sister now. this will add more to the expereince. I don't know how it will turn out, but i belive this is for the better. Besides this is probably the sweetest thing in the world! My host parents are like saints! They are taking in two little girls who were taken from their parents because they were in a bad situation. If my host parents would not have taken them they would of been spereated.
I am excited to leave. My mom is in Egypt right now, so i am making lsits of things I need to get when she come back for my year abroad! It is going to be sooo cool! I can't wait to see max again. that will be AWESOME! I can't wait to see Ari again either! The other students over there it woud be awesome to see again, but I don't have to...as long as i see ari i'll be fine. But if I had to pick six students that I woudl want to see i woudl have to pick Ari, Jan, Felix, Charolete, Larrisa, and Eva. I miss them all very much!
So that's abotu it rite now. I've moved my luggage into ari's old room and it is now my packing room! :) I am goin to bring two suitcases because I do not want to ahve to buy another one there. I will jsut not pack them very full, or with stuff that I will be leaving there,a nd not taking back with me. there is soo much to do before I leave! Plus the new stdents arrive in 6 weeks. O well!
