SCHOOL

FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL is of finish. So one thing with school here is that i have the same
group of kids throughout school and they will be together for 4 years.... good thing the group i got is weird and awesome or this would be a loooonnng year. Not that i want it over quickly... i just... yeah. Whatever.

I've for-sure learned more German/swiss german in that last week of real school than the 4 week "Crash Course" crap i went to.

ANYWHO. Differences between school back home:
-Every single day is totally different. And Mitty thought they were so special with their wicked schedule
-Classes are sometimes 45min and sometimes 90min.
-Anytime there is a passing period, even if it's just 5min, we have a break.
-Gum is allowed or they just dont care... (except for PE and Music)
-I have a FIVE HOUR PERIOD on fridays. It switches every other week between Chemie and Biologie.
-They have coffee machines that you can buy from. It's cool.
-You can buy soda at school. Though the soda here goes flat quicker than at home
-There are pretty legit lunches here. Like REAL meals. Also awesome
-The lockers have keys, not combo locks
-Nearly the same number of students as Westmont, however, like 3 times as many teachers.
-MAX 24 students per class. :O
-I go for about 7-9 hours to school
-EPIC LUNCH TIMES. Some days, i have a 2 hour lunch
-Ice rink attached to the school. nuff said
-Smoking area...
-I have 11 classes.
-Books are not supplied
-Tap water tastes better than bottled water

Can't think of anything else. These have been some long days and i'm always tired because of all the german learning.

Talk to y'all later.
