That awkward first day!

Finally, the day were I have been looking forward to ever since I visited Reeds school two years ago, had begun. I am still waiting for that point when somebody wakes me up, and I realize it is all a dream, but frankly enough this hasn't happened yet.

It all started yesterday, when my parents brought me to my host family. I can't believe how lucky I am with the host family I've got. They make me feel at home, and after one day it already feels like I've known them for ages. Their two little children, are really cute and also excited about me staying at their home. Yesterday evening, they already took me out to their friends, because it was bonfire night. (An English traditional celebration where there are lots of fireworks,bonfires and music). So yes, you could say that that was a "warm welcome"! The house is cozy too, and my room is incredible! More than I had ever dared to hope for!

Anyways, this morning when I was sitting at the bus stop waiting for the reeds bus, I finally realized that this was serious stuff, and that I was just about to become "the new girl" again. So there I was, sitting in the country of England, waiting for a schoolbus,  (yes, really, a schoolbus),and  about to begin an "adventure" which I'll never forget. When I arrived at school, luckily Mrs.Lams (the Dutch teacher), was waiting for me, and brought me to my tutor group, where I met my first new 6th form classmates. I've met so many new people today, that they must have thought I was a complete retard when I asked for their name the third time ;) Haha, well actually the people at Reeds seem all really nice, and offer to show me around, bring me to the next class, and well, they take really good care of me! The only problem which I had to deal with today was that the school is GIGANTIC! I really felt like a firstgrader with my timetable out all the time, not knowing where to go. However, the people here are extremely kind and offer to help me at any time! Today I also had my first hockey practice, with the first team! Wednesday I will join my first match with the second team, and then after that I am allowed to join the first team, which I really like!

Well that was basically it for that "terrifying  first day", and I think it will only be a matter of time until I won't want to come back anymore. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow, and I'm going to enjoy everyday, every hour, and every minute of this exchange.
