Hahahahahaha. Okay so first day of school was pretty fun; we went on a ropes course and hike in the Basel countryside. Great weather, plus 31 new students in my grade so I have to learn everyone's names again.
I can't believe it; all the Singaporeans in my grade and school are leaving!! Except for my sis. Well, the new Singaporean girl is heading back to Singapore since her dad has been posted suddenly to hongkong and she doesn't seem to like the international school environment sadly. Oh well. The half Singaporean half Swedish guy is off to London, not that I'm very close to him but he is in most of my subject classes so I thought of pinching some knowledge from him haha. Another half Singaporean half austrian girl is off to hk in november too. :(
So I thought I'd be the only east Asian person in my grade. But no, there's a new guy from China and another Chinese guy from America. The China Chinese guy speaks damn fast in Mandarin omg. I managed haha, not having spoken Mandarin for like 2 years? Ah well some smart people now in my grade ><
Anyway, I haven't had all my classes yet, but so far I know who all my teachers are. Eng Lang and lit HL seems to be s terrible class because all the rowdy boys are there. :/ the teacher seems nice but people say she doesn't teach very well. :S don't know if I should change to Eng lit HL or not, because my English actually sucks. And my dad doesn't allow me to take any English course at SL.
1st French lesson with mother tongue speakers was manageable. We were discussing the difference between the word 'langue' and 'langage', which both mean language in English but slightly different in French. 'langue' is the language someone communicates in, but 'langage' is the author's style in a poem or prose. :P don't know about the writing/speaking yet, but the course seems rather hard.
Maths sounds freaking difficult. Like a pile of syllabus outline papers on the first lesson... :/
ToK was interesting, ;) some song twisted backwards and there are satanic lyrics. Haha. :P
Chemistry - there's much work to be done.
Haven't had Biology or Economics yet.
Oh and i can't believe there's only 45 minutes of PE every 6 days. Eewww I'll grow fat wth. Need to do after school sports.
Already getting CAS hours, so I'm happy!
