So after yet another wonderful day of orientation, where some director from the consulate or something came to scare us (and I learned that I'll be attacked and mugged by sword point, if anything), we got to go home with our host families!
I've known a little bit about them since D.C. orientation, and surprise, the information provided on the sheet wasn't exactly correct. But whatever. There's a mom, Fatima, and a dad, Aziz, and a little ten month old girl, Lee Ann. There's also a boy, Heron, almost 3 years old, but I've gathered that he lives with Fatima's mother until school is over. Haven't met him yet.
We have a shared room, I have a roommate Natasha. She's British. It's like living with Harry Potter haha. We each have a bed and a massive wardrobe that I couldn't possibly fill up with what I brought but would be nice to have back at home... I definitely didn't bring too many clothes but somehow, like I always do, managed to bring so much more stuff than I strictly maybe need. I also wish I had packed those ziplock bags I swore I wouldn't really need. And some safety pins would be nice.
There's American style appliances, a family room, kitchen, and extra room that might be cleared out for our use later. We're also within a two minute walk of the school, which is super convenient in case I'm feeling sick or have to deal with that whole class at 8:30 am thing...
