Super Senior

12 hours from now (school is from 7-1), I will have started my first day of school! I'm super excited because while I anticipate not having any idea what I'm learning, this is my first opportunity to meet my classmates and hopefully some of my future friends.

I switched schools about a week ago. I was supposed to go to a public school, the name of which I don't know how to spell. My host mom is an English teacher at an elementary school (though this ultimately isn't super helpful because her English is as good as my Spanish). The elementary school she teaches at has a high school attached, kind of like Oak Hill/Villa Duschesne if you're familiar. This new school is better, safer and more convenient because I can drive with my host mom. I got in without tuition because they want an exchange student.

I had to have a skirt made in my size because I'm coming so late and had to buy shoes, so I didn't get my uniform completely together until yesterday.

My uniform: skirt, polo, sweater, knee socks, mary-janes. 

My uniform on gym class days: sweatpants, shorts, t-shirt, jacket, socks, sneakers.

González Suárez, my new school, is coed and Catholic, affiliated with the Los Padres Josefinos de Murialdo parish. At least I think that's all correct. There are supposedly about 35 people in my grade. I'll try and get a first day picture tomorrow in uniform, but this is going to be quite an early start so no promises!
