In a half an hour....

She will be gone.

I fled from my room, for the incessent 'hunt and peck,' or rather, the hunt and pound on the keyboard on the computer above my room was driving me crazy. I think that it has to do as well with the smaller portions of sleep that I have been getting that make me a slight bit more irritable. Either way, she has been pounding on the computer for nearly two hours. So homework went out the window.

For the majority in the cave, we have been hosting a foreign exchange student, but for only 9 days while her host family is in the mts skiing. Thank goodness. If it was much longer, I don't know what I would do. She only bothers me because she really has no interest in learning the language, our culture, or academics. Her only cares are the few friends she has, for she thinks that "Timo, you don't chose your friends, they chose you." Perhaps a truth in many respects, but not for a bump on a log.

I know that not all foreign exchange students are so indolent. But this is the second one for us. (We hosted one about five years ago that was on the comp all the time and not wanting to make friends.)
Sometimes it is also slightly amusing.
