Onions and Mineral Water

So the langage camp is done, and I just moved into my host family's house. Its very nice. It feels old, and almost like a cottage. They have two cats, one tiny kitten and it's mom. They're Russian Bleu and very cute. The langage camp is over, it was actually very helpful. I know have a small knowledge of the basics of the language; pronunciation, conjugations, and cases. You know how in spanish there are different endings for verbs? Well here, there's different endings for verbs and nouns And there's a lot more endings. Listening to conversations, I can actually understand a little bit know. I couldn't necessarily tell you what the conversation is about but I can pick out some words and guess on a few others. I had lunch with my host mom and one of her friends today. We had a soup, I think it was pumpkin, which I really liked. There was also a salad, with tomatos, cucumber, shrimp, and onions. There was an oily dressing poured over it. I don't know how you think it sounds but I didn't mind it, except for the onions. I HATE onions! They are disgusting. But, being a good exchange student, I ate them. I tried to mask them by eating a small piece with a lot of other stuff but, its an onion! You really can't cover up the taste. With lunch, I had a glass of mineral water. I don't really like it either. Its just bubbly water, very odd tastig. I can't describe it. I think I'll get used to it, I drank the whole glass, again to be a good exchange student. I also unpacked everything. It wasn't as much as I thought but it did take awhile. Its nice to have my own place for everything, not just a suitcase. I start school in four days... I can't wait actually! I don't like not knowing anyone, the other exchange students are in different cities so I can't meet up with them. Well, there will be more to come later, including pictures! Bye for now...
