What a day

It is probably a darn good thing that the exchange student organization found a place for him this week. Today he left for school at the regular time. Billie and I got out and went to look for coats, boots, gloves, etc. I called the new host mom and talked to her to find out what all he needed to bring. Then I called the Thi friend here to tell her that it all sounded great. I told her I was going to pick him up from school and take him shopping.

I called the school to see what time he got out today since he didn't have a last period class on Thursday. I was told 2. We got there a couple of minutes before and sat and waited and waited and waited. About 2:10 anothe exchange student came out and I talked to him for a couple of minutes. I told him I was about to take him shopping for warm clothes. He told me that he had left at 12 to go to the Thi friend's house. I was livid. Not only had he skipped a class, he had not bothered to even tell me he was going. I have always let him do whatever he wanted when he asked.

He called me and I told him I was very, very upset. I came home and he was here. He told me we had all been invited to eat as a going away party tonight. I had already planned to go do some other things with him tonight, but I let him go. We will go out tomorrow night. He leaves on Saturday morning.
