Two words: total confusion. I am usually a very studious student. But it is hard to be one when you don't actually know what the teacher is talking about. My class is nice and I have quite a few friends, but school is so much more confusing than I thought. Thankfully I only have this week, than three weeks of German, hopefully that will help. My schedule is different every day so I will list it day by day for you.
Monday: History Economics Open Chemistry Chemistry open Geology Geology Ethics Ethics
Tuesday: Physics Sport English History Open Open Math German German (yoga in the afternoon)
Wednesday: Math Open English Biology Biology (rotary and violin in the afternoon)
Thursday: Physics Sports Open Open Open Open Chemistry English German (Vollyball in the afternoon)
Friday: Biology Biology Math Math Open Sport Economics Chemistry
In total that is 12 different subjects throughout the day. I have one class, we go together to all of the classes, we eat together, it is a nice idea having one class, a lot less names to remember. However the downside is that you meet less people. My friends so far are a 23 year old refugee from Syria, she has been living here for a year now and it fun to talk to. Also Nadja who has been helping me in all of my classes, she is 19, rides horses, does archery, and both of them at the same time! In the evening I rode down to the market to get a Swiss binder and dividers and found everything ally y myself, I am actually getting a hang of this town!
Wow, Mikay - I am so impressed by your ability to muddle through, in spite of the challenges of not understanding everything that's going on. I'm pretty sure it's exhausting! When I do things such as conferencing with parents in Spanish, I find that it's hard to be confident that I'm understanding everything that's being said, and then I start second guessing. Not always a good thing! Trust your instincts, and know that it will get easier.
