Update on Life Recently

Hey everybody! Sorry I have been so horribly absent for so long! I can hardly believe a whole month has passed since I last updated! Time passes so quickly for me here.
First off, there was another school-wide competition today. We sang Christmas songs (most were in Chinese, of course, but I did hear "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" a couple of times) and danced; each class did two songs. My class sang and danced very well, and won fourth place in our grade. As soon as the video is posted to YouTube, I will put the link in a comment on this post.
This past week, I went to see the doctor twice because I hurt my leg playing volleyball. There wasn't any one specific incident or accident; it was a buildup of stress. The doctor required three days of rest and that I wear the medicine-coated gauze, as happened when I hurt my ankle. While Chinese medicine is not always pleasant, it is certainly effective.
Another development of recent times (and part of why I have been so busy) is that I switched host families. I moved from the Lee family (who live near my school) to the Wu family (who live downtown). This family consists of the parents, two brothers (the elder is on exchange in Mexico; the younger is 14), and the grandmother. I am now closer to the cinema, bowling alley, a public swimming pool, and hundreds of stores. I went and saw "In Time" with my host parents. (All movies have Mandarin Chinese subtitles here, regardless of what language the characters are speaking in, including Mandarin Chinese.) I have spent a lot of time in my new home, watching Harry Potter 7 (Part 2) on the enormous television, working on school and college applications in my room, and spending time with my host family. My host [paternal] grandmother lives on the floor above me; she owns the company my host parents work for, which provides food to school cafeterias for lunch and dinner. Her eldest daughter, who is a doctor, and her granddaughter, whose English name is Joy, visited this week. (Joy goes to high school in Massachusetts.) I loved spending time with these wonderful, inclusive women, who all were so welcoming.
There's more to come, but I have no time at the moment, so I'll update tomorrow. Again, sorry for the delay!
