It\u2019s very easy to summarize our first days at school: EVERYTHING is different! The first time we entered school, we just thought: Wow, it\u2019s so big! We were shown around school, and we chose our classes for the whole year. As an exchange student, you\u2019re allowed to pick any class you like. And there are many, many more exciting options than in Germany and Norway, like Hairdressing and Child Care, Mechanics and Constructing, Textiles and Cooking.<\/p>\n
On the first school day, after we had found our homeroom, we got our locker, which is really hard to open (Julie still needs about 2 to 3 tries!). At NPSS, the teachers have rooms and the students need to change in 5 minutes between classes. We\u2019re used to stay in the class room, the teachers come to us! Most of the teachers are really easy-going, you may have your phone and your iPod and often you\u2019re allowed to eat and drink as well.<\/p>\n
But everybody is so friendly, and after some days, we got used to the new surroundings. We met lots of friends that we eat lunch or go home with. The teachers understand that we sometimes have difficulties with the language, but it\u2019s going better every day!<\/p>\n
Julie and I are some kind of sisters now, we live at the same, great host family. We do lots of fun activities, like visiting Hudson\u2019s Hope and W. A. C. Bennet Dam and the museum at Fort St. John. We made cookies and Brownies, wrote many post cards, did scrapbooking, went shooting\u2026 And we\u2019re only here for 3 \u00bd weeks! That sounds like a long time and we did so many things, but when you look back it passed so fast!<\/p>\n
