5th day. First day of school.

It's impossible to have free time these days. We're really busy!! But now I'm here, so I'll just write everything since the week started.
I've been waking up every day since Monday at 6.45 in the morning. It's quite early for me, so I'm really tired. I have to take the bus at 7.40 at the bus stop, the yellow bus. That's the one that appears in all the movies, so we're all very excited to take a picture with it.
But on Monday, I lost the bus. It was early that morning, so lots of people lost it and the families had to drive us to the hotel where we're going to class.
We all met there and talked about what we had done wih the families during the weekend. Then we took an "exam" to test our English level, so the could divide us into different groups. Then the teachers and the leaders introduced themselves to us.
We had lunch, the sandwich our host family had done for us, some chips, maybe fruit and cookies... We could also buy anything we wanted.
But then the day had to go bad for me. The Spanish leaders came to talk to me, and they told me that the father of my host mom had had an accident and he was in NYC hospital. So she had to drive there with both of her children, and she couldn't host me. So I was changed of family.
Now I'm living with Iris, a woman who lives alone now (her children have grown up and got married) and she's also hosting a Russian student, Diana, and a Spanish one, Ana. They are both really nice.
The first night I had to unpack my things, but Iris's son visited us, with her wife and children, and they stayed for dessert. When they left, Ana, Diana and I had to build a chest of drawers for me to put my clothes, because there weren't more left. It took us two hours to do it, because the instructions were really complicated, and we had to guess lots of things. But we finished at midnight, more or less, andwe could finally go to bed.
