I've had three days at my new school, then! Well, sort of three. I started on Tuesday and there was no school on Thursday (apparently the only class there ever is is Spanish, which was cancelled yesterday). On Wednesdays there is never class in the afternoon, and this Tuesday there was no class in the afternoon either.

There are 1300 pupils in the school, which is scary. There are six classes for my year, and my class has 35 pupils in it. For some lessons we're all together, other times we're split into Group A and Group B. I'm in the former group. Anyway, on Tuesday Group A started off having a lesson of English, while Group B did physics. Then they swapped around. But they were having a test, and as I hadn't done that lesson, I stayed in English for an extra hour. I was the centre of attention and everyone was asking me questions. But I believe I said English at the school in Kenya was boring. I take it all back. Aaaaaalllll back. THIS is boring. I had more English today and...uuugghhh. The teacher knows that I know the answer to the questions, so she doesn't pick me when I put my hand up (sob). And she said I didn't have to do the exercises and that, although we're having a small test next week, I don't have to do that either. In a nutshell, going to these English lessons is useless for me. Boo.

Now, what about maths. Well, we're doing the same stuff as I was at my last school, and they seem to be a lost worse here. I suppose it has something to do with the majority of these kids wanting to do the literary baccalaureat, while the majority in Kenya wanted to do the scientific one. Interesting. But anyway, it's good for me! Although they were talking the whole way through the lesson which wasn't super as I couldn't hear the teacher. But that was on Wednesday, when it was all 35 of us. I had maths again today, and we were only 16, so it was a lot better. Plus we were doing algorithms, something I actually understand! I was onto part three before they'd done question one of part one.

And, finally, I had my first lesson of Spanish today. The teacher seems very nice, and reminds me a bit of last year's French teacher :)

I leave you with a photograph of my neighbour's kitten (the black and white blur in the background is its twin).
