School

So my school is called saint george. it is a bilingual school. Private school.. meaning that yes i do have to wear a uniform and yes it is the ugliest thing that i have ever seen in my life and no you will never ever see a picture of me in it.  more on the uniform its a white shirt with a plaid skirt.. well i guess you could call it a skirt.  its more of shorts with a flap on the front of it.  i feel like tarzan sometimes because i just see the flap. and i have to wear a tie that matches the skirt.  Oh and the shirt has to be tucked in and i have to wear white socks.. but they have to be socks that say Saint George on them. but they are surprisingly comfy and on fridays we dont have to wear them. the school system is also different here.  Instead of picking your classes they assign you classes.  and instead of having different people in each class you have the same group of people in every class. and each day has different classes. AND i have recess again! just for a taste of the torture i go through every day.... this is my schedule for Monday 7:45-9:05 chemistry 9:05-10:25 physics then recess! 10:45-11:25 history (in English) 11:25-12:45 Social Studies then Lunch 13:30-14:50 Grammar 14:50-16:10 literature.  Its the same basic time frame for all the other days but i have other classes like civics, music, bio, math, geography, literature (in english), computer, countability (business), and art.  So far i have found that we dont do all that much work in class, but there is a lot of tests.  And the professors leave class for large periods of time for no apparent reason.  its ok with me but its like where did you go? do you realize you have a class? Yeah i am in the extra smart class and they dont really seem all that motivated.  the whole school is not motivated.  Worst thing about my school minus the uniforms is the fact that all of the students speak fluent english.  so instead of me speaking in spanish i speak in english.  it makes it that much harder to learn spanish when your not forced to speak in spanish.  Every one is very nice. my class is like a little family and you dont have to know people to be their friends.  they are very accepting and i feel like iv been there my whole life.  its not a very big school i think there is only like 60-70 people in my grade.  the school itself has indoor classrooms but it has walk ways outside and is largely open air.  there is a courtyardish type thing and there is also a little store where you can buy snacks and stuff. i know my way around the school in general but i never know what class im going to so i spend a lot of time wandering around trying to find people who know where they are going and i just follow them. School is well as fun a school can be.
