I scored "Intermediate Low!" How exciting is that after just 10 weeks! That means I can make complete sentences and elaborate on them. I can ask questions and understand questions, etc. My interviewer was really impressed and happy with how I did. I am beyond where I need to be: "Novice High," so I felt like that was a nice confidence booster and I feel a little more prepared to go into my site.
Oh, to clarify... I will be with my host family for 2 months before finding a place of my own (check the comments for a little elaboration on that).
I said Goodbye to my host family at CBT (Skoura) and they were not super emotional (but maybe a little) and they really want me to come back and visit (hoping for next month, but I told them maybe next year!) I will send them a card for Eid Kbir and a letter in my broken drija script! fun. It will take me a couple of hours to write probably. I gave them a pretty ceramic vase that I found here and they gave me a nice ceramic mug and a little tagine (they make food in them, but this was just a little replica). cute.
Newest news on my site.... it is rumored to be one of the coldest if not the coldest site! geez.... what were they thinking?

Great job with the language! You should be proud! Don't worry about the cold. You'll get used to it. :) Just buy whatever the locals buy to stay warm (most people around here use seaskin mittens), and you'll be fine. I look forward to following your adventures!
Wow! I think I am intermediate low in Chinese after 3 years! I tell lots of people your Chinese tea story. I found it humorous that you were placed in the mountains - at least you have some cold weather experience. Invest in the furnace. :) Love you.. Vikki
