I'm not even going to try and explain my school schedule because I'm still trying to figure it out my self. But basically you have the same classmates in all the classes you go to, it's just high school or middle school but instead of having different people in your class you have the same people, and the schedule changes like every week or something like that.
Another thing that I have come to learn about this school, is its traditions. One tradition that I have become extremely aware of is that for the first two weeks the upperclassmen splash water on the first years!! They walk around with water bottles and dump water on you, they also drop water balloons from the second story windows as your walking to building to building, of course its all fun and games but I have a feeling this whole "water" thing will get old real fast. They also made us 'Chain Dance' it was interesting and cool to experience a dance that has stuck around for so long, even though everyone told me it was lame to do, I could tell that they all secretly like it and have pride in the dance, it would be hard not to.
School is pretty fun and relaxing for now, I Think this whole first week is just filled with fun activities to do with your class to get to know one another.
on another note, I'v been invited to speak on the Torshavn radio and talk about what its like to be an exchange student here! so that's exciting, I guess! but for the most part my life here is growing more and more everyday, and soon I will be taking Faroese lessons so I can actually understand a little more when ever people speak it!
Well that's all for now
