I just finished up the first dinner with the host family since the Christmas gift exchange extravaganza and the week away. I haven't really hung out with any of the kids since then, but things went really well tonight. I felt bad for not buying Ferréol something from the Barcelona football club because he asked me about seeing their stadium. I showed Sigolène my new purchases from the vacation (She was nice about it, but seemed a bit skeptical. We don't have the same style anyway).
One of my New Years Resolutions was to hang out more with my host family. I'm not sure I know how to do that though - they're so tight knit, and I would feel weird interrupting them while they all watch TV together at night and stuff. Plus, I do like my alone time. I'm not sure how to go about it - I do want to be pro-active and spend more time with them, but I guess I'm still kind of nervous around them and shy. It always takes a bit of courage for me to venture downstairs into the common living space.
In other news, I've failed miserably at studying for my exam and writing my paper. If I can crank out my second body paragraph tonight and do the third and the conclusion tomorrow, I should be okay (hopefully).
