I have a host family!

I actually found out last week but am just now writing. All I know is that they exist, nothing else except where they live. They live in an extremely small town in southern Italy. Address is :

Via Provinciale, 56

85043 Latronico PZ, Italy

Its all so exciting! I'm super excited again! I'm spending more time than I have in a long time studying Italian! Today I took some time to watch several videos on YouTube that say they take place in Latronico. They are super exciting =). Most are recent, within just a few years old at the most, one being from just earlier this summer and of teens. They were all dressed up for Carnevale (the closest American thing is Halloween but its really not close) at a party. They looked so much like us, only speaking Italian =). I'm just so excited I dont know what to do with myself. How on Earth am I to sit in class for 3 weeks when the trip of my life is just right around the corner?????

I'm working on getting my Visa in order but its being incredibly difficult! The Italian Government requires I go to the Consulate to get it, but the closest one is in LA and not really a option so we are working on getting special permission to not appear in person, but I have to wait for AFS's contact to contact me, but she hasn't and we are running out of time and AFS's visa coordinator just keeps saying wait one more day...day after day after day. We are down to three weeks and if I were to appear in person it would take a minimum of two weeks but we have to use the mail both ways! AHHHH!

So I wish I knew more about my family. All i know is their address and the dad and moms name. I dont know what they look like, if they speak ANY English, or even if I have siblings. Nothing! I mean I'm stoked they choose me, at least someone did, but I'd like to know who they are por favor!
