too much going on to write!

Sooo things are happening and I don't have time (don't have energy) to write. But I will write a bit for my faithful followers :)

It is weird to think that I have been here for a week... c'est bizarre!
I don't really know how to organize this week but I will try to do it in the most logical manner. I think I will talk about all the major happenings... oui?
So the next night after the festival in Liège (the 16th) all of my families deicided to throw a surprise 'dinner' for me. It was so nice! We had an appertiff at the Bran's house. I got a tour of their house and I attempted to speak my franglais... which I have to say has improved in a week but I still have trouble understanding when boys speak french. They are a really nice family :) After the Brans we went to the the Gaier's (which is where I am living now) for dinner. It was so nice! My other host family was waiting for us at the house, the Favero's! They are so nice too... and I met little Emma and Tommyboy... so cute. I wanted to have Emma teach me her French but they both left early. Everybody was speaking very fast and it was hard for me to keep up but I still really enjoyed myself. I thought it was a one course meal so I had like second helpings thinking that was it. Then they brought the second plate but it was pasta so ofcourse I ate all of it :) We were going to go to the Favero's for ice cream but everybody decided to just stay and talk instead. It was interesting because everybody has a different accent and speed when they talk. It was hard to keep up! I am glad all my families know each other... a lot of my rotary friends don't have this. I am very happy with all my families... :)
The next night we went to the Favero's for ice cream and I got a tour of their townhouse... I do not know what it is called. It had 3 floors! It was nice and I again saw Emma and Tommyboy. They are too cute for words... like seriously (and I don't even really like kids so that is saying a lot when I think they are sosososososo cute).
The 18th I went out with some Rotary friends.... it was really fun! I added 10 numbers to my phone... hhaa just like they Rotary Camp told me to do. They are really fun and I met another boy going to my school. The oldies (since they arrived in january) showed us all the cool places and gave a quick tour of the city. Which by the way, I have no idea how I am going to get around by bus... like seriously I am more scared about taking the bus than going to school! ugh... another challenge for me :) The oldies tell me I will get it in a month... so that means I will understand it in 2 months. Super! The next day I went shopping with a new friend to get the necessities in Belgium. I am not kidding you - everybody here wears a variety of boots/flats + skinny jean/tights + leather jacket/zip-up hoodie. So, I went shopping for the necessities! All I really need now is a bigger purse (shoulder purses are not european my friends) and a leather jacket... or fake leather.
Last night (the 20th) my host brother, David, had a going away party. It was a lot like the normal American party but I had so much fun! Everybody was really nice and the girls were really helpful when I didn't understand something. Again I found it true that I literally can not understand anything boys say... it is really weird and makes me look really mature that I just stare at boys when they talk to me. Welcome to my life... I am laughing as I have finally come the realization of all this.
Today I got up to go shopping (again - it has become an issue) with Rotary friends. It was really fun and all we really did was walk around the mall area. The simplest things I really enjoy now. I like it :) Just spending time with new friends that you share so much in common with is really nice... I don't know. I feel like I am already changing!
Ah! David is still up packing... maybe my typing is keeping him company! It will be weird without him... He leaves for New York tomorrow for a year! I'll miss you, David... if you are reading this :)
Tomorrow Brussels then Bruges! yay :)

Sorry for not being very timely :) I will try to update more often ...
Au Revoir
