Long story short, I had a bad school lunch then went to cheerleading and made the others wish I was an exchange student again.

You were an exchange student? I've always wanted to be one of those. Any horror stories when abroad, like realizing you had to know more languages, finding a host, getting stuck...?

Stuck where? In the hood? I know a few languages but only English is useful as the other ones either don't belong to a country or aren't fluent, and I only ever stayed at a friends' house, where we have an inseparable dynamic that has survived even my facepalmy brushes with demise.
