My Host Family

So, I'm here! My host family is great. I can tell that they are very nice people! They remodeled their spare bedroom just for me and bought my school books and bus card, and all of that is expensive! There is so much to say! Their dog only has 3 legs! The toilet is in a little closet-like room and you have to go to the bathroom to wash your hands afterwards and also to flush the toilet you have to press a button. Except, there are two buttons and I never know which to press so I just pick one lol.
They've given up speaking french to me, I feel really bad. In French class, we didn't really practice speaking in French so its very hard for me. But I can read french the best, and I can usually understand a few senenteces if they talk slowly. Last night my host sister took me into the city with her(Rouen, we live in a subarb) on her moped! We went to an Irish pub with her friends! I had beer! And I smoked two cigaretts! I didn't exactly like beer or smoking, but it was fun haha. Anne Laure (my host sister) and I went to see the Cathedral, we walked down cobblestone streets and we actually saw 3 cathredrals, they were BEAUTIFUL! There are so many cathedrals here that it is kinda redicilous.
Well I'm really bored right now and I always feel really awkward, I never know what to do with myself, I miss my other exchange student friends that I met at orientation. I'm very anxoius to see how they are doing and I wonder if they feel as awkward as I do.
Its really overwhelming to be here. I called my family yesterday when I got here, and I just started crying. I can't even think about it with out crying. Its not that I'm misreable, I don't really know how to explain. But I feel like I do not want to call them because I don't want to cry, and I probably won't call very often because of that.
I know that I will feel more comfortable with time and especially when I make friends and ESPECIALLY when I can finally speak french. I wish I knew more french!
