Today, Marijke and I had a meeting with the school counselor at one. We talked about scheduling and roughly put together what I wished to take. I am only following 5 subjects (plus PE), which for Dutch students isn't many. This is good with me though, because the Dutch language itself will give me enough difficulties in the beginning. If the scheduling works out as planned, I'll have: English, Nederlands, Chemistry (again), Social Sciences, math, and PE.
However, class times are set up differently than what I am used to. For example, I will only have two math classes in a week. Each class is about 45 minutes. Also scheduled in is "Dalton," which is study time. School days have two breaks, whereas at Homer High we had one. My schedule is very...nice and not full. I don't have class until 9:45, and get done at different times, but around 2ish average, or earlier. The counselor will be sending me my exact schedule sometime today, which I'll post and things will be clearer.
I am so nervous. I toured the building, which is shaped like a piece of pie:
When leaving Wolfert Lyceum, students were on break and all in the lunch area. They all stared...
Tomorrow I believe my first class will be English, which is really nice. I feel like making friends in that class won't be difficult... we'll see though. I believe the counselor set up that I'll have another student to show me to my classrooms and help me. All the girls there were clad in colored skinny jeans, and letter-jackets. I'm sure I'll stick out like a sore thumb in my...American attire, so I'll have to go shopping one of these days. Most of the guys have gelled hair...
This coming weekend, The Alders (Marijke, mostly) has organized a BBQ/Campout for their sailing club on an island. There will be about 40 people, and us girls of the family get to sleep on the boat! I'm looking forward to it, hope it doesn't pour.
That's it for now. We'll see how tomorrow goes...
