Back-to-School Night (Philip)
I'm really tired, because school goes till 3 o'clock and then I have two more hours practice. I have a lot of fun here and have met my first few friends. Most of them I have met in leadership (a kind of SMV in Germany), which is a really fun class. Yesterday it was "back-to-school night", where the parents could go into our classes and see, what we will learn.

The school life is very different to Germany. One lesson is 70 minutes and the teacher have all their own room. The whole school is outside, so there is no one building. The break is 45 minutes, which is a lot.

You get a lot of homework. I do my homeworks in 2-4 hours, and the exercices are easy. And this every day! When I come home, I take a shower, eat something and the rest of the time I do my homewok. There is no freetime at a school day!! I ride my bike to school, and so I ride 5 miles and run 5 miles per day. And it's very hot!! You don't see any green, it's all brown.
