So, today was my second day of school at CDL, the international school where I'm completing my senior year. Seeing as I've only ever attended two schools in my life, and both have been four hundred students or less, this was quite an experience.
CDL is a private international school in Versoix. There are 2200 students--preschool to graduation--of 120 different nationalities. I definitely feel like a minority--there aren't that many Americans, and even though everyone can speak English, most people don't. Although I like most things about CDL so far, I'm definitely not a big fan of their organization. I was somehow not put on any attendence list yesterday, so I spent a lot of the day waiting to get a schedule... I did meet quite a few people, but the school itself isn't super new student oriented, so the other new kids and I have had to fend for ourselves a lot in figuring out where to go and such.
Other than that, it seems like it will be a good year--once everything gets sorted out. I'm pretty excited about my classes, even though signing up for four AP's at this school is supposed to be a death sentence of some sort. I get to take AP English Lit, AP European History, AP Calculus, AP Spanish Language, French 1, and Philosophy... I'm pretty sure every one of my teachers is a different nationality--American, British, German, Mexican, French, and I'm-not-sure-what. I gotta say, that's pretty cool. Now all I have to do is find a ballet school, and I'll be set.

Wow, it sounds amazing! Hope you get all the enrollment stuff sorted and that the 4 AP classes turn out to be managable!
ReplyDeleteYay for your first day. Ooohhh...a Philosophy class. I love it! I hope you find a ballet studio soon. (Do you need an English speaking teacher?)
