Host family!

Hello guys!

I have great news to share with you! I got some information about my host family and my host school a couple days ago. 
I will live in Miyakonojō-shi, on Kyūshū! The city has about 165.000 inhabitants so it's about three times bigger than my hometown. I think I will get lost a lot... :D
I have a host mother, a host father, a host sister (11 years) and a host brother (15 years). Unfortunately they don't have any pets, but I have an own room (I'm so happy about this)!
Obviously I won't share any pictures or further information about my host family with you all, because I want to respect their privacy.
I also have a host school, which is (according to Google Maps) only about 15 minutes by foot away from my new home. I'm pretty happy about this because so I don't have to ride a bike to school (I'm a bit scared about using a bike in Japan), nor I have to pay for public transport.
My school is a normal public high school, with 683 pupils, 321 boys and 362 girls. When I arrive there the summer vacation is already over, so I will start school right when I arrive.
My winter vacation is from December 23rd to January 6th and my spring vacation is from March 24th to April 7th.
I already have a list with all the school clubs, but I'm not sure which I will choose (but I'm sure I have to do the English-Club :D).
We will also make a class trip to Tokyo and we will visit Disneyland! *cheer* I'm looking forward to this trip! :3
It seems like my school will also host another exchange student but I don't have any information about this yet...
But my host family told me that there is a meeting with my host school in the end of June, so they will get more information! I'm really excited to find out more about my host school. :D
