1st school day at Reeds (9 November)

I woke up at 7:20 and left The Close (the name of my boarding house) at 7:50. I walked to the cafeteria with some of the South African gap year students and met up with Maurice there. After we had had a small English breakfast we left and went to find our tutor and get our timetable. We couldn’t find our tutor, but we finally got our timetable and left for assembly. After that, I went to experience the classes I had chosen; Science, Chemistry, Design and Technology and Business Studies. I finally found my tutor and went to General Studies (in Dutch studieles) and met two really nice guys, one of which was a really good swimmer whom I'll ask if I can join the school's swim trainings. I also met the person in charge of the rugby squad, who told me he would like to have me on the team. This is going to be a lot of fun, seeing I did lots of rugby in Ireland. I also saw some people playing football or training and I'll see if I might be able to participate. All in all a very good first day at Reeds!
