The New Kid.

So I started school last Tuesday. I've been so busy with school that I have had no time to blog or do anything else. I leave for school at around 7:45am. School ends at around 3:30pm, and immediately after I got soccer practice. Soccer practice ends at around 5:30pm. Then, tired and weary, I come back home, eat dinner, and start off with my homework. The amount of HW I get is crazy. So the education system is way different here in the US. We don't have different classes everyday. We have 3 trimesters and different classes every trimester. This trimester I got English, physics, economics, pre-calc, and US history. I get so much HW everyday; I'm usually up till like 12am. Also, the teachers don't rotate around classes, but students go from class to class. So I got a different set of people for each class. But I guess it's just something I have to get used to.

Ok, so here's the deal. I've been in only one school ever since I was a kid. So I've never really been the new kid. Ever. So it's kind of weird when I go to school here, because it's not like I know everyone, like back in India. But that's ok. I'm making friends steadily. I'm also playing soccer for the school. So I'm making friends there too. My life here is pretty sweet. Except the HW. That sucks. And my tight schedule. But even so, it's a lot of fun hanging around with Matt, Jordan, and Christian.

My teachers are pretty cool too! I got Mr. Hoffman as my English teacher, Mr. Dewey as my physics teacher (who is also the football coach btw.) Mr. Rooker as my economics teacher, Mr. Nagengast as my pre-calc teacher and Mr. Zahler as my US history teacher. I find US history the toughest subject of all. Obviously. I know nothing about it. Even the stuff that seems fairly obvious to other people. And it's the last class of the day. So I'm really really sleepy during this class. But right after this class I got soccer practice. So that wakes me right back up!!

I also have lunch in school. Our lunch is divided into 3 parts, because the cafeteria can't hold all the students at once!! So there's an A, B, and C lunch. A lunch is before the third period, B lunch is in the middle of the third period, and C lunch, the one that I'm in, is like after the third period. Matt is with me in C lunch. So I sit with him at the same lunch table. Thank god for that! I don't know what is going to happen next 2 trimesters though.

Anyway, so that's how school is. Thts all for now.
