First day of school!

Well, that was... hectic. I must admit that the first day of school wasn't just exacly as I expected, but it went pretty well anyway.
I mean, the very first day was Tuesday, but that was only for one hour, and I didn't really get to do much. But today... wow. There were so many people, I had no idea where to start! Everything is just so different. In Denmark I'm used to just staying with one class for the entire year. But now... new people in every class! It's sooo confusing! I'm really just trying to talk to everyone (well, not everyone, there is about 1200 students at the school), ask questions and just be like: "Hi, what's your name" (without being too annoying), and I managed to find some people to stay with in the lunch break. Yay!
Of course it's kind of hard to just join groups of friends, since it's not sure they're so open to new people, and I guess that was why I acutally, by total quincidence, talked to a lot of newbies like me. I mean, we just stand around looking lost, wondering where our next class is.

I'm not too sure about all of my classes, though... Photography, which I thought would be totally fun, actually seems way too boring. I mean, I like taking photos, but the teacher was just talking, talking and talking, and it was soo boring. Next class, yearbook, is (obviously) a class where we make the yearbook. Not sure I'm gonna be so good at it, but I think I found a few friends in there, so it should be ok. Next class was Spanish 11. It's probably gonna be my hardest class, since it's an intensive course where we have to learn everything we would've learned in Spanish 9 and 10... in a half year. Met two girls that seemed pretty cool in there, I'm probably staying. It would be nice to learn some Spanish. :)
My last is ceramics. I'm kinda sad it's in the last hour of school, 'cause by that time I'm so tired, and it seems to be a very relaxing and artistic course. But I think it's a keeper.

My school from the front. :) Gleneagle!

One thing that was kind of odd: None of the teachers was aware, that I am an exchange student. None. I din't bother to tell them today, since they were talking non stop, but I probably will tomorrow. They should know, that they shouldn't take me too seriously... I mean, all the teachers are pretty funny and relaxed, but they make it clear that they are serious about grades and such things. And grades don't count for me... so I don't want to be working way too hard, haha.
But a funny thing in class was that everyone was so quiet! The teacher was joking, trying to be funny and such things, but the students were all like: "We don't care, we will just shut up.." I was just sitting there having a good time by my self. Oh well. Maybe people was nervous 'cause they didn't know anyone.

It's boiling hot outside! No idea how hot, but it must be like 30C. I was about to die on my way home from school. No kidding.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the weekend! Not because I'm tired of school already (well, maybe a bit tired of getting up early, haha), but because I'll be doing lots of fun stuff! Saturday I'm going to a barbeque at Bill and Tereza's to celebrate Bill's 50th birthday. And on Sunday I'm going gokarting with another Rotary club - and I'll get to meet the exchange student from Spain! Looking forward to that! :)
