My first day was not that tough. I was actually quite lucky that my first day had a special schedule and so I did not have to spend too much time in school and I could go lunch with my sister. Its really weird for me to be in a girls school. I mean, I don't know what to expect. I've stayed in mixed boys and girls school my whole life.
I met new friends. There were too many people saying out their name I could not remember all of their names. I remember this one particular girl who take two of my subjects math and drama. She was really nice to me and he showed me around, even went to classes with me. Even though I'm in grade 11 and she is grade 10, I'm still happy because at least I know, there is someone out there who cares about new comers... Now I know how it feels to be a new comer AGAIN.
Homework wise, I've got tons to catch up on, but I know I can do it once I get the hang of it. I'm determined. I'm just not sure on what pathway should I take accountancy, nursing, musician, singer... (as if) I hope that I get to finish my school as fast as I can. I also hope I could wear the kilt, but its too expensive here. Uniforms cost you a fortune!
I think going to this school will lead me to posting more experiences and stories about my new life here...

Still feeling home-sick... If there is only a way for me to come back...

ReplyDeleteOMG DANNIMERE! This is like the complete opposite of me! I've been in a single-sex school all my life and this is the first year I've been to a co-ed school. But the thing is, it's not very different. In fact, it's practically exactly the same if you didn't have a crush on anyone in your previous school.
But in a single-sex school, you can be a lot more open about stuff. I don't know if that's gonna be the case in your new school, but that's generally the rule. Like, you can change in classrooms and ask for a pad in front of the whole class. And you're not as self-concious about how you look if there are no boys, I think. And also, if there aren't many gangster-ah lian types in your new school (or the Canadian version of gangster ah lians) then girls' schools are a lot less vulguar than co-ed schools. :)
I'm just saying this from experience though. My old school and your new school might be completely different. But they're both Catholic right? I don't know, Notre Dame sounds Catholic. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And it's only the first day, Abimere. You still have a whole year to make a decision about which university to go to, let alone what you wanna be when you grow up!
At least you don't have to go to poly, where they have to stick with one career choice forever and ever from the time they're 16.
I miss and love you, and hope you can come back soon. If now, I will buy you a webcam so we can skype, 'cause it's better than nothing.

roxanne, laptop has webcam installed in it already. just add me in my messengers. I don't really use skype. Yeah its a catholic school, Yeah, you're right, I still have a few more months to change my perception about girls school. But, I do agree with you. Its very open in girls school.
