Today is Monday, and it's the first day of school here in Switzerland. So I don't think I've actually mentioned school before so this is going to be about how different it is compared to school in Canada. So the main thing that I can think of right now is that in Canada we have the same four classes for five months. Here I have eleven classes, French, Physics, German, Art, Math, Biology, English, Gym, Chemistry, English and History. Now, everyday is different from the next. So every Monday I'll have French and Physics. Tuesday I'll have German, Art, Math and Biology. They stay like this for the whole year. I rather like this style because I hate having the same four classes everyday and it gets boring. I understand why they do it both ways though. Another thing that is only special to me though is that I don't have to take any tests or exams -- thank god. I don't know what's going to happen in replacement but...YAY! So the first day of school was fine. I know what we're doing in Physics since I just learned it this year, but I'm just having trouble understanding what they want me to do. We did Work, Energy and Erhaltungssatza. I have no idea what that last word is in English. So basically that's all that happened today. I had to climb this huge hill three times today. I'm pretty sure my legs are going to get as solid as a rock by the time I get back. Anyways tomorrow I go to Bern to start my German Course. So...

I think that's it...it's somewhere in the Alpes, for a Rotary meeting with all the other exchange students in Switzerland. There were over 60 of us in this "Sports Resort." I met up with my friend Kaylee from Canada who is from my district in Canada (I knew her before I left for Switzerland) and my other two friends from my language course Sophie (USA) and Rachel (London, Ontario) and our other friend Kat (USA) and Otilia who is from Romania. I look a train in with Sophie and it was so pretty! When we got to the train station before this photo we found a whole group of other exchange students so we tagged a long with them. I'm pretty sure they were a main group from Zurich. We got off at the wrong station and had to walk a bit to get to the "resort" which was fine. We were the only ones we knew there so we talked to some other ...
