Exchange students

My sister is probably going to have two exchange students over for the week of thanksgiving. She is friends with both of them, they are both female sophomores, from Asian countries ( Japan and Taiwan) I'm kind of looking forward to it even though I'm so bad at social things, just because they would be a nice change of pace to the normal holiday vacations, where I either spend my time alone or try to keep on the good side of my mother when she's getting stressed out by preparations. I think that talking to them might be easier then talking to normal peers, because there might be a definite short-term goal of the conversation, apart from the vague and insubstantial "get to know each other". It's easier have a conversation when it starts of with exchanging concrete information. Asking them about their countries, or explaining something, could easier than just beginning with small-talk. I guess what I really hope is that they find me likeable, because sometimes I wonder if I can appear likeable to anyone who meets me. Sometimes I think almost find myself unpleasant. But if someone can live in a house with me for a week, and still think I am ok, I might feel a bit better.

(Does this sound pathetic? I hope not.)

Edit: It turns out they will both be Chinese. My sister wasn't able to get the girls she knows best.
