School Cont.

Ah.. What a first day... it was very different.. the thing that was the most different was the fact that the students stay in one classroom and the teachers change classrooms. also they dont have any technology (computers, tvs) in the classrooms except for maybe some of the science ones... today i had 6 periods each of which are an hour. i started the day off with latin. next i had 2 hours of italian, in which the teacher didnt know i was not from Italy and didnt speak Italian. so he just started the class and did not stop until it was over; so while everyone has pages and pages of notes, im sitting there with not even one sentence... the same thing happened in history because he is my history teacher also... so needless to say, i will have to talk to him about that, but i dont think he knows english... after italian i had spanish, that teacher was very nice. also this is the first year that my class has taken spanish, so we will be learning all at the same pace (but then again spanish is close to italian, so maybe not)... after spanish was ENGLISH!! as much as i am a math person and dont like english class, i never thought i would actually really look forward to english class, but i will for the next year!! haha.. and finally after english was history...

i made some friends also, about 5 or 6. they are all very nice and tried to help me as much as they could with translating... which they could do pretty well considering they have been taking english for about 9 years...

so after this fun first day of school, i was looking forward to going to school for the next 10 months in italy, but then i find out right after school that they put me in the wrong class.. so i might have to switch classes and completely change my schedule and try to make some new friends... ugh.. why couldnt they just get it right the first time.... anyway ill let you know what happens with that...

bye for now
