Well I just changed my host family again. Now I'm in my third of four host familys. Time really flys. Let me tell you. Feels like yesterday I walked off the plane in Brussels. Welcome to the new people on my list. On unday I'll be in the Netherlands for 6 months. There are 4 kids at this host family. I am the shortest one. I am not the youngest one. Bob is 11 and hes taller than me. (I'm not lieing) They all have red or blond hair. They are all really nice. I'm the second oldest. Tim happens to be 3 months older than me. Tim is 2 meters and 1 centimeter. Thats like 6 feet 4. He just fits under the door ways. He told me sometimes at school he pretends to hit his on the door way and the teacher freaks out on him and its really funny except when she figures out its not real. Margaux is 14.Faye  is 13. They are really Dutch because out Holland and they don't speak dialect. They speak with a hard G. Bob and Faye were born here in Maastricht and they G is softer than everyone else. I wonder whether I will pick that up but I really don't want to because then everybody else in this city will think that I learned Dutch in the North. The Northerners and the Southerners have a rival thing going on. I can understand their dialect now and I even started speaking it a little on accident. I was reading for my Dutch class and I used a Maastrichts sylable instead of a Dutch one. I never noticed the difference until the teacher started laughing at me. I said KEEKEN instead of KIIKEN. The good thing is that I can still hear Maastrichts at school and in the city and at swim practice. I don't think I will stop understanding it. Speaking it I don't think I will be able to pick it up. Maybe with my last host family because they speak Maastrichts. 

Everythings going good with me. I'm coming home JULY 10TH! The date is set in my airplane ticket. I picked it up today.Everybody better be there at the airport!!!!! (JUST KIDDING)

Love and HUGS,
