everyday life 2 Comments Back in School
Two days accomplished. My first school day wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. My new main class teacher was an old teacher that I already knew. (In Switzerland you are in groups of like 20 people and each group called class has their own main teacher and you stay in that group for almost every subject. But I don’t want to go too deep into the Swiss School System right now…) He could remember me, but he couldn’t remember that I was gone for one year. He was also outside of school for a half year. But at the end he figured it out and the whole class laughed because he asked me before how the past half year was and I just said it was really good and he didn’t noticed I wasn’t in Switzerland.
My new class members seem to be nice. Even tho some of them are three years younger than I am. I felt like an old soldier. But at least I already know some of them from past school experiences. We are only 17 people in our class and only three of them are girls. From my exchange year I am used to much more (girls). But at the moment I am fine with this…
One of my first class was chemistry. Or should I say Japanese? In the past year I really forgot all my chemistry stuff. I also have a crazy new teacher in that class who cares more about getting the material done than others. I really had no idea what he was talking about. I was sitting in my chair and wondering if this is a foreign languages course or chemistry. Indeed it was chemistry, but for me it wasn’t. I asked him after class to copy me some of his papers so I could starts looking through it. And then today I gave me over a 100 paper with all the material he covered and excepts now that I will read through all of them and memorize it!? CRAZY! And a lot of work for me! I thought welcome back in Switzerland!
At least all the other teachers are okay till fine. But it was hard to have nine hours of school again. (This is without the lunch break or the other breaks…). And getting back from having 6 classes to 12 classes is going to be hard. At least I am seeing some really old friends again and I hope they are going to help me with my knowledge I forgot in the past year. For me the motto of this school year is “Just do it” and work hard! That hopefully will do!
hehe thanks lara! the second chemistry class was already better. but i have to work my way through those materials…
But I think positive!
Awwwww… sorry that school kinda sucks right now. 9 hours X_X… that’s so intense! Great attitude though… NIKE all the way
You can definitely pull this off… 100 pages of chemistry… sounds impossible, but then again, you are Raphy the Swiss kid.
Best of luck!
