So! Started school yesterday. Me and Sky were woken up at about 5 and then Dad drove us to school. I was so nervous! We were about an hour early - and were the second (well, second counts Sky as well) people there. We'd been told the traffic took ages but it didn't because (as the person at the school gate told us) lots of the local schools were shut for the holidays.

Then we hung around waiting for Mrs. de la F to arrive so she could explain stuff to us. She did, eventually, and we were given an enormous amount of books and then I was shown to my first class; French. I'd missed a fair bit of it, though, due to the book-giving and explaining and things, also I didn't really understand much because they were talking about a book they'd already started doing. The teacher was very nice, though.

Then we did PE (fun warm-ups and then football, which was not easy in sandals - which I was wearing because I didn't know what to wear *cough*) and then (if I remember correctly, it was such a long day o.o) had lunch before doing English and something else. We took the bus home and got back at 7...

It was good, but the hours are really long.

Today was our second day and, thinking about it now, I can't believe it was only my second day. I feel as if I've been there for years! First we did gymn, then Spanish (which was hard because the teacher spoke pretty much only Spanish), then maths (where the teacher shouted out the entire lesson) and then had lunch. And then I had English (teacher's really nice). Then I had an option of doing something called OIB (can't remember what it stands for, but the I is for International) which apparently adds seven school hours onto your week and you get a mountain of homework per time (each OIB lesson being 3 times a week, I think). And since it's all in English, thank goodness I don't have to do it. They do just normal English lessons and then a history-geography lesson in English.

To clarify, in case I haven't written it, it's a French school we're going to.

 So I didn't do the OIB stuff and got to get on the bus at 3.30 *beams* Sky had to wait for the 5.30 bus, though, because she finished at 4.10. It's annoying; for everywhere apart from for our town ('cos it's the furthest) there're three afternoon buses. One at 3.30, one at 4.30 and one at 5.30. But we miss out on the 4.30 one which is super awful.

Anywayyyy, if I can have three days a week when I arrive home at 5 instead of 7, I guess I can continue at school. The other option is doing CNED.
