9:00 am Hello! It is now the next day and I am so tired from the fun day that I had yesterday! Now I can tell you more about my day. It was so fun and guess what? I was right. I met another kid their name was James and we had so much fun together. Well I think that their pronouns were they, them. They only spoke a little bit of Spanish and spoke mostly English. We figured out how to communicate with each other though mostly because we used hand movements and spoke what we knew of each other’s language. Ok I don’t want my dad to see this journal so I have hidden it in my socks drawer. Make sure that you don’t tell him this but the kid is really nice and I really want James to be my friend. I also really hope that we go to the same school.
10:00 am Well I was very scared yesterday, but I think that I am getting used to the fact that I have to go to school and hopefully it will be fine because I have my friend Lucy and the new student James that I met. Well me and my dad are driving to school today in about 10 minutes and I hope that I am ready. I got my first day of school outfit ready hanging on my chair now. The outfit has grey and black jeans on the bottom and a slightly short shirt with a flower on it on the top since my dad won’t let me wear crop tops. I also have a sweater on top of my shirt that says Plaza de España. I got the sweatshirt when I still lived in Spain. I miss that place. Well it is time for school. This is very nerve racking. I don’t know if I can do this. Can I? I think that I am going to pass out. I feel dizzy. What should I do? I know, I am going to get my dad. Then it will all be fine.
10:30 am Well I didn’t pass out but I got my dad and he got me some water so now I feel much better. I stayed home for 20 minutes since I was supposed to leave at 10:10 but I am fine. We are leaving now. I got my school clothes on and I am completely ready. I just have to put on my shoes.
10:45 am Ok, I finished putting on my shoes and we are now arriving at the school. WOW it is so big! And there is a separate building. It is a bit smaller but it looks really nice. The building is bright white!
10:55 am Me and my looked around the school to refresh our memories, especially mine about how the school looks, and all the classes and their locations.
11:00 am I am now in my home room and everything and I mean Everything is different. It feels so weird! There are no other kids in the room now because I came to school hours late and my teacher is just telling me some things about how the schedule works. I guess that she doesn’t have any classes now.
11:17 am I am now standing down the hall from my first class. It also took me a while to get to my class because my teacher was talking for about 10 minutes and I kinda got a little bit lost. But it is ok because I got a map from the office and this is my first real school day here so it is not my fault. Is it? I don’t think so. Well anyways the first class that I have is… Ah! Art class! That is my favorite subject. I just walked down the hallway and guess what? I saw Lucy, my friend. She is in my class! Maybe my school life won’t be so horrible after all. Well in art at least. I am using the break now to write in my journal so I gotta go soon. There is about 30 seconds left on the timer. It was originally 5 minutes. The teacher is now saying that we have to start class. We are apparently learning about how to make a color wheel, and what a color wheel is.
12:02 pm Class was about 45 minutes and now it is over. Honestly, I am kinda hungry but lunch has already passed before I got here. I wish that I had Salmorejo. It is a very yummy lunch from Spain. It is also my favorite lunch.
3:30 pm I had a few more classes and now the school day is done. I am waiting for my dad to pick me up outside and Lucy is standing with me. Let me tell you a little bit about my day. Well I had math, social studies and finally Spanish immersion. These were my last classes after art. Spanish immersion and art were my favorite. I already told you what we did in art, but in Spanish immersion it was super fun because, well, first the teacher introduced me to the class and I was a bit nervous for that but everything else was fun and exciting. Most people were mostly fluent in Spanish so I could understand everything! For the first time I actually feel like I belong. Oh and Lucy is in my class. James was also in my social studies class. Well that was my school day and my dad just pulled up so I will be right back.
3:40 pm Well I was writing for about 10 minutes just now and now I am in my dad’s car driving home. Well I am getting a little car sick so I am going to wait until I get home to finish writing.
3:55 pm The drive was about 15 minutes to the apartment that me and my dad now live in so that’s why the time between getting into the car and now is from 3:40 to 3:55. I am now sitting on my bed at my house or what I guess is my new home. I really don’t feel like this is my home. I miss my old one in Spain.
6:45 pm I just had dinner with my dad and we had Arros amb Bacallà – Codfish Rice. This is a popular Spanish dinner in Spain. It was very good. Honestly, it is probably my favorite Spanish dinner. 7:05 I am now sitting on my bed again and I am very tired from my day so I am going to go to bed now. See you tomorrow.
