My second first day of my last year of "high school"

I SURVIIIIIIIIIIVED! :]

Today was my first day of school, well not really classes but I went for two hours, met my class mates (all eight of them) met my teachers, and got my schedule for next week. Everyone was great, not that I expected them to be mean or rude but they were more helpful than I had hoped. One of the girls in my class-I can't actually remember her name :/ I know that's not good but you have to remember I met a lot of people today and honestly I'm having trouble remembering a lot of things, my brain is pretty fried-anyways, she gave me a ride home so I didn't have to wait for the bus!

Et maintenant, my schedule. My understanding is that this is my schedule for next week only and then after that we can make adjustments, or something? I'm not sure. Also, we had to just write it down as the Dutch teacher read it and it's broken up into eight sections which I think are hours? I really don't know, when Isabelle and Mano get home I'm going to sit down with them and have them explain it to me then I'll let you know. Anywho, here it is:

Monday: 1&2 History, 3&4 English, 5&6 Chemistry, and then nothing for 7&8..?
Tuesday: 1&2 Biology, 3&4 Religion
Wednesday: 1&2 French, 3&4 Math
Thursday: 3&4 Physics, 5&6 Geography, 7&8 Math
Friday: 1&2 French, 3&4 they said 'gymnastics'?? 5&6 English, 7&8 Computers

I have no idea what it means when I have no class, or what I do. Overall I'm pretty confused but I'll figure it out. And yes Dad, I'm taking English, but it was that or Dutch! So I feel justified :] Plus I think that it will be good to have a sort of break in the day, or at least have an hour or two when I know exactly what is going on.

One last thing, I've never been one to get headaches often, but I get the feeling once school really starts these French induced headaches are going to increase in number and strength :( Oh well, I'll just have to keep some aspirin handy!

A plus tard.

  1. Sounds like you are off to a very good start! Only eight classmates, all girls? Thanks for updating us on your blog, Mom checks it about eight times each day. So, you didn't want to learn Dutch? I am surprised ;)

    Love Dad

    On dirait que vous êtes hors d' un très bon début ! Seuls huit camarades de classe , toutes les filles ? Merci de nous mettre à jour sur votre blog contrôles Maman, c'est environ huit fois par jour . Donc, vous ne voulez pas apprendre le néerlandais ? Je suis surpris ; ) Love papa

  2. Dad is such a show off!! Duh...can we say google translator? ;)

    Love you mag. Glad your first day went well. How exciting!

    I would have opted for Dutch personally...but that's your language nut sister for you. ;) I think you're right that having a few hours a week where you understand for real will be a welcome break. And hey, you might even become a sort of language assistant...every day you're more like your twinnie. ;)

    Love you,
    Opie

  3. hey viola,

    was macht eigentlich dein deutsch? wenn du hier deinen vater so kritisierst, solltest du aber auch fleißig lernen ;)

    im sure that sam is translating every single word by dictionary eh? *wink*

    sounds a bit confusing over all but that will come to an end soon i guess.. wish you a good start at school!

    a bientôt,
    valentin

    I'm glad everything is - so far - going well for you.

  5. Remember that the most important phrase (in any language) is this:

    Je suis un fou ananas.
