first day of school

the first day of school is supposed to be super exciting because you get to see all your friends all the time again mixed in with a little dread because of that nasty homework. but today i was just nervous as hell. school was the last place i wanted to go. i didnt know anyone. i dont speak german. to top it all off it was raining. greeeaat. i got to school and teresa and her friend went off to their class and i went to mine. i walked into class 7a and sat down. i couldnt have been sitting down for longer than a minute when a girl came and sat down next to me and introduced herself. i started talking to some other girls and they invited me to sit with them in their row. so im sitting in the back row with three other girls and then infront of us are two more girls. then the rest of the class is boys! soo many boys. anways. one if the girls sitting infront of us is also an exchange student! her name is sam and she is from australia. she said that since we skip some of the classes, like language and religion, she will help me with my german during that time! so thats good.
school was only about two hours long today and after sam invited me to walk around enns with her. we went to a bakery and got something to eat and she showed me the castle and the library and then when we were walking down one street a boy from our class, named danny, invited us into the cafe he and some other boys from our class and a few girls from another class were sitting in. so we went in and sat with them. after that sam went home and they invited me to go to mcdonalds with them. i walked there with danny and manny and they were both very nice. and theyare both very good at speaking english! which is good for me. they told me that at first sam was the same way and couldnt speak any german but now she is very good at speaking it. so i look forward to the day i can have a good conversation with them! after mcdonalds we walked to the train station. the girls invited me to go to linz and see a film with them but i didnt go because it would be in german and i wouldnt understand and i felt like i was starting to overstay my welcome. so they helped to make sure i got on my train to st.valentin and i was on my way back home.
so overall my day was very good. i dont know what i was so nervous about! i wont say i look forward to going to school because school means work. but its really not bad:)
