Well, I just met my host family, and they’re totally awesome. I was really nervous about meeting them. We arrived in Morelia and went to the university, where a family member from each home was waiting to take us to their homes. Some of the ladies didn’t look too nice. As the housing director called out names, the cool people were quickly being taken.
Crap, he looked like a cool dad, but he’s Adriana’s. Damn, that lady standing behind me looked sweet, but she’s Gillian’s. Oh shit, that lady is giving me a mean look. I hope it’s not her. There were three homes left to give out, but I only saw two hosts – mean look lady, and a really young woman who I wasn’t sure was even a host. I was second to last, and I was much relieved that the girl before me got mean look lady. I was set up with a kindly old man I didn’t even know was a host. Sr. García is a Spanish teacher in Morelia, but I get the feeling that he teaches foreigners, because he knew what mistakes Americans made in Spanish pronunciation. It’s a great match for me. He’s already corrected me twice, which is great. I totally forgot to ask them to correct me, so I’m glad I have someone who will. Sra. Hernandez is just the sweetest lady ever. The two are rather meticulous about stuff. Sr. García showed me how to turn on the lights in my room and the bathroom (by
gasp flipping the switch). He also showed me how to lock the door (by pushing the button on the door, like most doors anywhere), and how pull the curtains (by pulling the curtains). They’re so cool.
They have at least one daughter, Sandra, who is married to Juan José, or Juanjo. They don’t live in the house. There may or may not be the two 21-year-olds, Carolina and Elisa, living in the house. I’m not totally sure.
The house itself is just great. It’s really open. The bottom floor sort of opens up to the top floor in a way, and there are windows and open areas into other rooms everywhere. It’s nice. My room is really neat, too. It has a slanted ceiling and a really big window. The best part is the arrangement of flowers made out of paper. They look so real.
This is going to be a good trip

Wow I really like your certainty already seen a few times: aka "who may or may not be living in the house" and "who may or may not be going to W&M". LOL, Andrew, do you know ANYTHING? Haha, oh man, this reminds me of my Japanese host family and waiting to see who I get... Well it all depends on who you get-- some people got giant peaches and everything they wanted from their host while my host sister made me pay for a road trip. Well at least no one else can say their car got stuck for 5 hours in the Japanese countryside and that they had BBQ Japanese style int he midle of the night in a thunderstorm. AHEM-- yuh huh! ;-0)
