I go to Shakamak Jr./Sr. High School. I'm junior. The school is pretty small compared to usual American schools. I find it great because then it's easier to get to know most of the people and it feels more like an other home. It's also harder to get lost when school isn't so huge!
Everyday I have seven classes. My school day starts at 8 am and ends 3 pm. I chose my classes in the school office few days ago. I took Chemistry, Maths, Advanced Music, Study Hall, English, US History and Advanced PE.
Chemistry and Maths are some kind of college classes. Now in the beginning they seems quite difficult. I now what topics we are talking about but when I don't know the right terms I'm little bit lost. But luckily just a little. I'm sure everything will be clear when I learn more!
In Study Hall we have opportunity to do our homework etc. Yesterday we didn't have any so we were allowed to chat with each other. Well then I really got the chance to learn a lot! Like not about any school subject but speaking English in real life. There were few boys and it seemed like it was the meaning of their lifes to ask questions! It was fun. I didn't got all (lol any of them) the jokes but that's fine. Now I'll understand more than before. I feel like I'm learning something new all the time.
Advanced PE is my last class everyday. There is actually just two of us! Me and then one senior boy. But there is freshmen's PE at the same time so we will do something with them and if we don't feel to be doing the same, then we will simply do something else.
After school I had cross country running practice. I was surprised how fun it was! I have never run in that kind of woods. We ran in the Shakamak state park which is quite near our school. It was beautiful and air was fresh!
I'm happy to be able to attend this school! Can't wait for Monday!
