I'm sorry I havent written in so long! I really just havent had anything to write about, I've been having a really hard time with my host family and its so frusturating. My host mom is crazy, I don't understand the woman! She is always upset with me and its getting to the point where I can't stand her. I finally sent an email to my personne relaise who is my contact at my agency about it and I'm waiting for her to reply.
I am so amazingly homesick, I feel miserable. I feel like a failure, why the heck isn't this working out!? I know this happens all the time to exchange students,especially because my grandma used to work for YFU (the agency I'm here with) so my mom knows all about it, but I'm so frusterated that this is happening to me, I just want to enjoy my time here.
Remember how I mentioned me having a little rash? I didn't even think it was a big deal then but my little rash has turned into a BIG rash. I have hives that come and go all over my body, its really bad. I get them really bad on my back and arms, sometimes I feel like my back is one big hive! They only come really bad at night time,though, so thats good that I'm not itching like crazy at school.
I'm developing a bad behavior pattern, I'm on my laptop alllll the time, all I ever do is play on my laptop and sleep all day, its really bad but I don't know what else to do with my time. I don't have any good books here. My mom is sending me my favorite book series but I've already read them a thousand times so my laptop is still a bit more interesting. I'm thinking about ordering some books from the amazon.co.uk but I'm not sure if my address here is..uh permanent at the moment so I have to wait and see. Any ideas of what I can do to distract myself?
Ok well now I'm going to answere questions:
The time differnce? I'm six hours ahead of Toledo time so I'm 7 hours ahead of you, Jackie.
Am I allergic to anything? Apparently I am now, my mom thinks its the laundry soap so I'm going to the store tomorrow to get some hypoallergenic stuff.
No one watches tv? Well thats just in my family and now I've discovered that they do watch it, but just a little, they only have like 10 channels though so I think they just watch the news sometimes
Do they have explicit stuff on tv and in the stores? Not that I've seen on tv since I've been here this time, last time, though when I went to Paris, I saw a verrrrry revealing lotion comercial. As for the stores, you have to go to specials stores for the explicit stuff just like in the US however, there are quite a lot of those stores around here. I was walking down the street the other day and I saw a flashing sign that said SEX SHOP on it lol, I wanted to take a picture but that would look really wierd.
Thanks for your comment Jackie :) I feel like you're the only one reading this blog lol.
Well I'm sorry to be so negative, I'll try to think of something funny to write for my next post!

just like in the u.s., there are some people that you CAN'T get along with, so it's not you, NOT YOUR FAULT! I'm surprised you're not getting along better with your host sister. I would have thought that she would be excited to have you there.. ? What about friends at school?
i'm sure you already are, but just in case make sure you're doing EVERYTHING possible to make that lady happy. like, do extra chores like the table or floor or something? she doesn't speak English, huh? hang in there!
I'm so sorry you have the rash. That must be awful. The only thing i can think of is a hot shower, and that's a temporary fix.
hey, have you ever read the twilight series?
play on your labtop and sleep all day? we have a problem! i'm glad you emailed that lady. it might be time for some changes to be made.
haha i want you to take that picture. and take some of the people too. do they look different? taking pictures of the people and friends and stuff from the DR were my favorite pictures.
I think amazon would send you stuff. like, if your mom can, they will too. unless you're changing your address shortly.
ok, bye.
oh, hey you can call me anytime! i don't know how that works for you exactly, but i can call you instead if you want, my cell phone has a good policy on calls to france.
that's okay, keep writing. this way i know what's happening to you! you'll want to read it later, i think. i wish i had typed my journal from the DR. i was so tired sometimes i just sort of scrawled it and now it's hard to read.
i'm the only one that reads my xanga too, but it's an outlet.
