First day that I'm not running around like an idiot.

I finally got around to shaving this morning… it feels glorious.
Met with the international dean at Hutt Valley High School today. He set me up with my courses. I’m going into school tomorrow. They don’t have first period on Friday’s, so school starts at 10:00. I also have a study hall at the end of the day, so I get to leave early. Also after second period there is an “interval” which is just a break for I don’t know how long. Then after fourth period is lunch, and I can pretty much leave after that because of my study period, five periods in total, and no first or last periods on Friday, I can definitely get used to this. I’m taking Music (piano), year 13 English, Art Design (computer/graphic arts), New Zealand Geography and culture, and Electronics. Geography and Electronics switch off every other day, so I still have room for a study hall, which is not placed anywhere to my knowledge, so it’s just a period to wander about.
I met up with a couple other exchange students at the school. To my knowledge there is only one other exchange student from the US. She’s from California, and she is very loud and kind of obnoxious, though nice enough. A different exchange student, Polynesian I think, showed me around to where all my different classes were. The school is pretty big and has multiple buildings on its campus, so this little tour was helpful. I also bought my uniform and set myself up with a cell phone, so even though I don’t really have anyone to call without racking up ridiculous fees, I at least have an alarm clock.
