First day of school

My first day at the High School:

I couldn't really sleep this night, but somehow I managed to get some sleep. I woke up at 6am and got ready for school. My hands were shaking and I just felt strange and nervous, but also excited. After breakfast my host mum took a picture of me. She told me that basically everyone takes a picture of their kid on the first day of school. 
Okay, I know that you want to see the picture. And if not. Well you don't have to look at it :D

 

After that my neighbor Dana and I walked to the bus stop and the bus came at 7:30am to bring us to the school. 

Okay, so.. I sat there in that yellow school bus. Like everybody knows them from those High School movies. But it really isn't that special or fancy. It is just a bus and you get to school with it. So sorry if I destroyed your dreams :D

When we arrived at the school the hallways were already crowded, but thank god that I got a private tour and found my first classroom. 

Child Development:

My teacher is Mrs. Nowka and she is really nice and different from German teachers and younger. Well okay I will start at the beginning. I went into the room and there was only one girl in it so I sat down in the third row. After a couple minutes there came more and more students. When the class starts we talked about the syllabus and the baby dolls. That we have to carry around from Friday to Monday. But only once. That's gonna be fun :D


English:

I made it to the next classroom in six minutes and lots of people in the hallway. My teacher is Mrs. Ake. She is also a younger teacher. We will read 'The Great Gatsby', but watch the movie first, so that we can get deeper into the book when we read it. She also seemed pretty nice :)


US History:

I've got Mrs. McMahon.. Well she is.. different. Her voice is like high pitched or something I don't know. And she loves to talk, because she almost talked all the time :D


Biology:

My teacher in Biology is Mr. McGregor. At first I thought he is very strict and everything, because of his tie and button-down shirt. He sat at his desk staring at his MacBook.
When the class starts, it turns out that he is really nice and he made some jokes. And I think that he likes my name, because when he called my name, he was just like 'Oh, that's a beautiful name'. :D
The bad thing about Biology is that he gave us a really heavy book. Seriously Why?
But okay I'll have to carry it around :D


Lunch:

I found two girls who are also in my 'Exploring the World of Food'-class, so I sat with them and their friends in the cafeteria. It was really nice, and a bit loud and also different. But everything worked out well :)


Exploring the World of Food:

Mrs. O'Donell is my teacher, but only for two weeks. After that we'll get our actual teacher. She just talked about what we're gonna do and all that stuff. After that we played a game and had free time. 


Group learning activities:

I really don't know what this was good for, but okay. We were put in 'small groups'. We were ca. 15 students, all seniors, and played another game and watched a video and whatever.. We had 2 1/2 hours time for that, but were ready after 1 hour. The last 1 1/2 hours we just sat in the room and did nothing..


At 2:35pm school was over and I went to the buses (yes, I found it :D). I found my bus and we drove home. 

Sooooo. That's it. That was my first day at school. If you want to know more things. Or have any questions, you can ask me. 
By the way we don't have this group thing everyday. It was just because it was the first day :D

Bye, bye ♥
