Dear Diary,
Joseph and Tyler decided, on their way back from church, that we were going to have a full on barbecue. They'd stopped at a supermarket and bought a shit load of food which Joseph put straight into some homemade marinade before going outside to the enormous brick barbecue in the garden to do whatever it was men did with those things. I wouldn’t have a clue. Back home we always buy those disposable ones.
I offered to make a salad to make myself useful and Tyler decided to 'help'. I swear he could charm the knickers off a nun. He's one of those good looking guys who knows it, and blatantly uses it to his advantage. I can't even remember what he actually said to me, it was more the way he was saying it . . . and he is very touchy feely. It was almost as if he was trying to tell me something without actually saying it, or maybe I am reading him completely wrong. After all, he's a university student whilst I'm only in my final year of college (or High School here). Once again, Tyler's brother disappeared pretty much as soon as they got back, mumbling something about needing to finish an assignment. Tyler laughed at him and called him a nerd. It’s easy to see what kind of relationship they have.
From what I can gather about Aiden (well, from what Tyler told me about him) is that he's the same age as me, which means he'll be in my year (grade as they call it here) at school. He's all about the studying. Yesterday, he wasn’t very visible after I'd arrived, so I haven't spoken to him much. I don't know if we'll have any of the same classes, I kinda hope we don't. He makes me feel a little . . . unwanted.
It's my first day tomorrow and I'm crapping myself. Tyler goes to the university across the city, which allows him to live at home rather than pay rent on campus, and has offered to drive Aiden and me to school in the morning. Aiden's car is "in the shop" for a service and he isn't sure when he'll have it back.
What if I don't fit in or make any friends? It'll be a lonely six weeks if I don't. Best go and sort my stuff out so I don't look a fool when I forget something, especially as the school sent me an epically long email telling me my timetable and what I would need.

Ps, Diary . . . I really hope I can pick up how they speak over here. Our word differences are making me feel quite nervous.

Dear Diary,
I had a bit of an emotional phone call with Mum. I only called to let her and Dad know I'd arrived and was okay, but she got a bit teary, which made me feel a bit homesick, but time will fly... won't it?
Marie came to see me in my room before she went to bed. She's really nice and just wanted to check I was settling in alright. It's only been two days but I still feel a bit overwhelmed, especially after speaking to Mum. They've all been really welcoming, well, most of them. Aiden's barely been in the room long enough to actually speak to me. I think Marie's a bit relieved to have another woman in the house to counteract all the testosterone for a bit. She reminds me of my mum a little, just in the way she checks on everyone else before thinking about herself. I guess it's a mum thing.
Joseph even popped his head round my door (after knocking, why don't my parents do that?) to see if Marie or I needed anything. He's really nice too. It's lucky that he doesn't have any daughters; otherwise the house would be full of teenage girls swooning over him. With his long sandy-blond hair and piercing blue eyes. As pretty as Marie is, the boys got their looks from Joseph.
Marie stayed for a little while, just chatting. She left me alone when she caught me trying to hide my yawns. Night.

Dear Diary,
That was fun. If you enjoy being stared at and whispered about ALL fucking day!
It all started when Tyler dropped us off. I mean his car is more than enough to get anyone noticed. It's
