It's hard to wake up at 6:00 after
staying in bed till 12:00 for 4 days. After I woke up I went back to sleep. After
a few minutes I woke up again. This time i also got up. We arrived at school
at around 7:30. We got introduced to Gray house. We also witnessed the initiation.
I must say it's a memorable experience. At 8:00 we went to church. 40 degrees
outside is not so bad since there's a breeze. But inside a church with no air
conditioning and with 750 other students, it gets pretty cramped. So we had to
sit in an extremely hot church cramped with 750 people for 70 minutes. After
that we had a 90 minute long break.
During the break Lourents and I visited Mr. Court, the
exchange coordinator. He gave us a list of subjects to choose from and informed
us about the trips. I have not a single complete school week during my
stay here! Tomorrow I’ll get my schedule and start actually attending lessons.
After the break we had to go into the oven again. This
time I was unfortunate enough to also sit in the sun. We heard a speech about
the opportunities the pupils have at bishops, by the formal head of 'de beers'
(which is the biggest diamond supplier in the world).
I’ll save you the rest of my school days.
