The host family

So, about where I'm staying and the host family.
Tina: Tina is my host-mom. She's fantastic. Originally from England, and very open about things. She's a teacher, her favorite subject being teaching 11-13 year olds sex education, because she thinks it's really funny.
Mike: Mike's the father figure. He's a principal at a local school. From New Zealand, and he knows a whole bunch and we talk about fancy stuff. He believes that the power of teaching and gaining an education/having knowledge will allow us to overcome our differences and realize how similar we all truly are and that we will then respect one another and stop being dumb and kill each other over things like differences in religious beliefs. I like Mike. He likes Top Gear a whole bunch.
Jane: Jane is Tina's oldest daughter. She works in aviation, as does her husband, who is Maori-born. She's "heavy with child". Tina asked me if I wanted to feel her stomach approximately 5 minutes after I first met her. Awkward.
Robert: Tina's oldest son. He works at...somewhere...and does something. He's kinda quiet and reminds me a lot of my older brother Chris. Robert seemed adamant about the family getting wireless internet, though, which would mean I wouldn't have to come to campus to get online, so I like Robert too.
Tess: Tess is 17 and seems like the typical teenager. I think she thinks that America/the rest of the world is some magical place where everything is bigger and better, because whenever I say that something in NZ is just like it is back in the states she's shocked. She loves to play Netball, and when I said that I had never heard of it and it doesn't exist in the States, it looked like I had shattered her world. Oops.
Beth: Beth is 15 and as far as I can tell a total flower-child. She likes peace and love and plays guitar and wears sundresses and has long uncombed beach-blond hair. I hope that my kids are this cool someday.
So Tess, Beth, Tina, and Mike live in the house. I have a studio-apartment-sized room to myself that's separate from the rest of the house. My hostmom calls it the Loveshack after the B-52s song. There's also a trampoline and a hot tub. I live in walking distance from about 30 restaurants.
Umm. It's awesome. I love it. Wish you were here and all that?

They all talk funny and are really sarcastic and we get on pretty well so yeah that's all cool.
