Yesterday, I was shown around my new school! It looks AWSOME!!!!! There are three buildings - one for the older kids (sixth through tenth), one for the little kids (first through fifth), and another one for the gym/pool area. Yes, my school has a pool!!! We have a lot of very different classes, too, such as knitting and swimming. Also, during my English class, I will be pulled out to be taught, one - to - one, Icelandic. And, because of my birthday, I'm in SEVENTH GRADE!!!!!! Because I'm in seventh grade, I get to go on a trip to Reykir!!!!! We (the seventh grade class) are going next week on Monday and staying there until Friday when we will return at noon. My parents and the guy that was showing us around my school (I think he's the principal, but I forgot his name) think it is a really good opportunity for me to make some friends.
Today I should have gone to school, but because of the wind and snow the buses couldn't get through. Half of my schools population comes from BiFrost, so it would be kind of hard to hold classes. I was really bummed I didn't get to go today, but oh well. There's always tomorrow.
The snow here is amazing! Within the last 24 hours, we've gotten at least a foot of snow!!! So, if it was flat, there would be about 2 feet of snow. The wind is blowing up to 50 mph, making outside really miserable. Cars driving on the road are falling off a lot.
Sorry, no pictures,
More Soon,
Alex : )
