School started...and here is the message from my first schoolday..just too lazy to type it again!!:D


Hi guys!
Today I had my first school day..before I was really
scared to be honest..but it wasn't too bad..although I
shouldn't say that yet because today we didn't do a
lot. I went to school already two days ago and
yesterday to see which classes I would get!
Yesterday I started to put my schedule together..it's
not easy!:) YOu get a paper with your classes written
on it and then they hang up another paper with all
classes they offer and you have to look when your
classes are and what teachers you'll have..how many
free periods you have and when they are!
So today I went to school in time for the first hour.
Some other students only came in time for the 3rd one
because the first two hours were for orientation
anyways! But so I met quite a lot people from my old
class!
Till 11th grade you have only one "class" (a group of
certain people) and till 10th grade you can't choose
any classes! In 11th grade you can choose between art
and music but apart from that you are not able to
choose your classes!
Now in 12th grade we can choose our major classes..and
also choose between politics,history geography...but
there are still a lot requirements to fulfill!
So I took for this year English and Biology as my
major classes...then I took math ,politics,
history,geography,art, German,PE and religion..
I'm not sure yet if it was the right decision...but
I'll see.
Today we only had biology, geography and history!

Our system here is really confusing and they change a
lot right now... not even our teachers know how
everything works:D...oh well..
But I like that we are able know to get to know a lot
of people from our grade because all the classes are
mixed now in the different classes depending on your
subjects!
I even know some of my teachers I will have for the
next two years...but there are still some I've never
seen before!
Our geography teacher is totally out of it!I already
had him in 8th grade and I'm honestly surprised that
he teaches in 12th grade!
He told us about everything but geography today..we
had to listen to his glasses story..he talked about
how is glasses broke and that he got it fixed and
didn't have to pay for it!
I was laughing so hard!! And the problem was that I
sat in the front row..so he could see me !:-/ oh
well..he is just weird..not a mean teacher or
something but just weird!!
Some people actually wanted to take the more counting
test at the end of 13th grade in geography..and I was
thinking about it,too..or to take the oral examination
there...but I don't think I will do that with him!
I don't think we will learn a lot there...and now you
shouldn't only pay attention if you like the teacher
but also if they can teach you! because the final
tests in 13th grade will be given by the district
government..I think one school creates these tests and
then everybody in our "federal state", lower
saxony...the part of Germany where I live in, has to
take these tests..yeah I'm anxious how everything will
work..
So, I'll talk to you later! To keep you guys updated!
Love, Merle
