Hello again!
Well, ten days have past. I'm getting used to being in New Zealand, wearing warm clothes, going to a different school, meeting new people. I have had a great time until now.
My first day of school was rather hard. It was a big shock for me to go into a place where I knew absolutely nobody. 1400 of unknown people. After choosing my subjects I was to go to classes. The school is so big it takes me five minutes to go from one of my classes to another so as you can imagine I didn't get to class until half the period had past: I was completely lost. I felt so weird when lunch time arrived, it was a feeling of not belonging there. Luckily I had the fortune to have a host sister that went through the same experience as I am going through, talking to her made me feel much better.
The next days were much easier. I found the other AFS student from Canada, Karine, (the school is so big you can go through days without seing someone!) and I met lots and lots of nice girls in my form (the form is the year I attend, it's the 6th form which is equivalent to year 12, we must be around 300 students just in the 6th form). Everyone is really nice and have treated me really well. I have chosen some very interesting subjects and most of my teachers are really nice so I'm liking school quite a bit.
On Friday afternoon I went with Karine and some other girls to have some coffee. It was really nice just hanging around and talking. I had a great time. On Saturday we went to town. We went shopping in Queen St which is the most important avenue of the city. We sat down and had some coffee again and then I walked home. It was also a really nice afternoon.
That night Karen, Chris, Tim and I went to Piha, a beach near Auckland. It is a beautiful place but unfortunately it was raining a lot so we couldn't do much. I wouldn't have swimmed anyway since it is the middle of the winter here and it's rather cold but we could have walked around some more. Nevertheless it was a nice weekend, I hope we'll go there again when it's warmer.
I think I have been really lucky in my placement: I am in a beautiful city and in a really good family. My year ahead seams very promising!
So that's what my firsts days look like, I'll be writing again soon.
Besos,
Camila
