So school started yesterday. It was A LOT different than school in Alaska.
In the mornings we have to ride a city bus. It was my first time riding one. It was one of the ones you have to stand up on. Our stop is last so, lucky us, we get to stand up in a crowded bus. I felt like I was going to fall down like, every two seconds. Not my cup of tea. It gets me from point a to point b though. That's all I need it for.
So when I got to school, I had no idea where to go so Jan went to the office and got my papers then found out where my first class was then he dropped me off there. You have to wait outside the door for the teacher to open it. So I waited and waited. I didn't know anyone in my grade. The only person that I mildly recognized was Felix from the pictures that Madara showed me. I never talked to him though. Some people introduced themselves so that was nice.
The schedual is really different. Theres a class schedual rather than each person having their own like in the states. Everyone in your first class pretty much has the same schedual. Which is nice when you are trying to find your way. Also expecially since most of my classes are in the school next door so I don't have a map.
I have SO MANY CLASSES!!! I do have 3 classes in English though which is nice. I've been doing really well in those ones, as for the other ones, not so much. Like, today I went in to French class and apparently the teacher assigned homework. I didn't know about it because she spoke in German the whole time. If she spoke in French I could understand her a lot more. BUT, apparently in this french class, you speak German. haha.
Anywho. My class schedual is rediculous. I am never going to memorize it.

SO. YEAH. That is a lot of classes. Expecially compared to our 6 class, every day, schedual. I can stick it out though. I can easlily day it will be an interesting year school wise.
After school yesterday though I went over to Daniels hot familys house for about an hour. I visited with his host brother who is leaving for Thailand next Friday. Then we went to meet Daniel at the airport. After that we went back to his Host familys house and had a nice BBQ. It was definitely fun.
Today I went to school, like a good Rotary kid and got out at 11am. Yesterday school for some reason got out at 1. I was confused, but I wasn't argueing it. Today I got invited to the same party by like, 5 people. I'm pretty excited about going. I'm getting picked up at 6 by a few people from my class that I never talked to. My host mom set it up. haha. I'm going to be out until about 3am. PARTEH TIME!
