(My thoughts from school straight from my journal)
Okay guys, I'm not going to sugar coat this one for you.
My second day of school has been awful. Absolutely terrible. I have no schedule for classes, they gave me a huge stack of books - all in Slovak - I don't know my way around this enormous 4-story building, all of the lessons I've been to today are taught in Slovak, none of my teachers know where I need to go, and I don't have a school counselor to help me or tell me what to do. I am completely lost. The only sliver of light on this sinking ship is the cloudy and confused help of 3 very nice girls I met in my homeroom class who are trying to translate their very foreign - to me - school schedules so I can have a rough understanding of what a normal school day - for them - entails. So here I am, sitting in the corner of a German class, listening to chunks of German and Slovak dialogue sail through the air, all the while wishing that I was back at home. And my German teacher didn't look so pleased to see me; from what little Slovak I know, I heard her say "No good" when my peers told her I was the American exchange student.
All in all, bad second day at school.
But I have to keep my head up. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.
Unless, you know, it's dark out.
