My email is Jonguy123@yahoo.com but you know that now.
i am in district 4650.
i am with my first family!
i move on the 10th of November!
i am not having any problems.
Just that i live in a boring town with boring host parents, but that will change when the tourists come and i change houses i think. My city is on the Beach so it is bound to liven up a little.
My Rotary club has like 7 people who come to the meetings. I really want them to take an intrest in the exchange students but they just dont.
My host family consists of a Retired man and his wife. I think of them as my grandparents. But no one wants to live whith their grandparents. i really like them, but we all have our quirks and they have a lot. At first i was not aloud to take a portuguese class and things like that. But honestly everything is great now. i have been being tutored by the neighbor lady once a week for two months. And It has been perfect for learning a language. I really enjoy my "class".
i have been involved with the interact group so i am able to do things with my firends that don't involve partying. My counsilor is really strict. But i think that he will loosen up as my portuguese improves.
The only really cool thing is the Beach! are you jealous?
oh and i have everyones emails
This should help!
Jon
