School

So in my initial posts, I seem to remember saying how boring school is and how much I didn't like it. Well I guess that has changed, but maybe just for now. 

Apart from the bars on the windows, the air-raid siren that marks the end of each period and the fact that we have class on Saturday mornings, school is good. Everyone here is so friendly, it helps so much, I would be nowhere if I didn't have several people telling me where to go at all times. Many things are really different to Norwell High School, for one, we have breaks during the day where we can go outside/eat/do whatever. Also, if the teachers have to go to a meeting, there are no substitute teachers, so we have free time. 

Seeing as many of the teachers here are also university professors, they have meetings all the time, its great. For instance, the past two days I had only one class each day and the rest of the time off. Today, they knew most of the teachers were going to meetings so they told us in advance that we only had to stay for an hour and a half! 

All the classes are really different. Some have 25 people, some have 5. I don't know how that works but I guess it just does. I still have a lot of trouble understanding all of what the teachers say. I have found out that if I pay attention 100% I can get a few complete sentences every time, but then my brain fails me and I quite literally get tired. 

English class is strange, one moment I will be asking someone for help with something in class, then 5 minutes later, when we have English, they are the ones asking me. "So the last shall be first, and the first last". Sometimes I practically teach the class for the professor, he asks me to read and write whole essays for the class as well as explaining terms and pronunciation. 

I still have yet to take a picture of me in one of my 3 school uniforms, soon.
