So for the whole cultural immersion thing I am at a highschool 5 hours a day. Last year when I applied I was like "Oh that will not be a problem bla hblah blah" but It actually is kinda blehggers. I hate the whole having to ask to go to the bathroom and waking up super early in the morning...and not making money.
I am in class with students who are 15 and 16 years old and really tiny.
Which at first I thought was a huge drag which in the whole like making super good friends it might be...
but they are actually really nice. All the girls invited me bowling...which I ended up not going because I went to my host cousins instead...but regardless it was a nice gesture. They msn messagner me all the time and help and correct me with Portuguese. People more my age are a little less understanding...like at the Gym or other random times I just get laughed at ...which let me tell ya blowss.
Back to highschool:
Class starts at 7am...kill me right?
But the school offered that I can go at 7 45
I accepted.
So I have not figured out the whole like what class is on what day but the courses offered or Portuguese english history math..math again...chemistry biology physics and sociology. physcology(sp?) And all the students stay in the class and the teachers are the ones who move from class to class.
Class is over at 12:30 so naturally there is not a lunch break but there are two 15 minute breaks and there is a little like snack area where everyone and goes gets well..a snack...which are no where near healthy let meh tell ya. Its big bags of ruffles and onion ringss and fried chickeny stuff and candy and coca cola..
So during these breaks...I GET SWARMED by people. Like SWARMED. It is different people all the time. If I decide to refill my water and just stay in class there is at most there was about 20 but its at least 12 people around my little desk asking me questions and asking me what I know in Portuguese. Then if I leave to the little snack area EVERYONE STARES most of the time I am in a group but one time I walked back from the kitchen thing to the class room and it was soo awkard to be just stared at and random typical 15 year old boys who think they are funny shouting out random words in english.
But yea school is pretty boring I do not have really much of any intentions of doing the school work. I do not even have the material. So I sit there and hope to learn portuguese.
I am kinda in a little bit of regret of doing this because I feel very "over" the highschool scene.... but hey I get a two month summer vacation in about a month so woot for that.
