So my host mama responded! She is really, really, really, really nice. She sent me a picture of their cat, which really adorable, she also told me a few shocking things. In Linden (or maybe in all of Germany) school starts in August. I won't be going to Germany until September, and even when I get there I'll be taking an intensive course to learn German. That will last for a month, so I'll technically be missing two months of school, because I go in, in October.
To top it all off, I won't be going to school with my host brother. He's in tenth grade, the last grade in his school and I'll be in eleventh grade, in a school that's in another city. It's called Gesamtschule Gießen Ost. I guess that will be fun.... I've never been the new kid, so it'll be a new experience.
Host mama was also very supportive telling me she was going to help me in anything that I needed and that she was going to to help make my experience a lot more fun and stuff like that.
So, as bold as ever I searched for my host sister on facebook, I found her and added her as a friend. She accepted but when I checked out her wall I was super intimidated. I have never had a sister, if anything I've had close cousins...that are younger than me, not three years older and already out of school. And she knows an astonishing amount of english, which only adds more to my wariness.
