School is School, Unless it's School.

A few days ago, I was excited for school. September 1st, the first day of school, I was extremely nervous. Now, I'm almost overwhelmed. The first day of school here is awesome. I went to school at ten, after eating minimal breakfast because I was too nervous, and stood outside with my 'group'. In each grade, there are different groups. I ended up talking to a few girls who knew a fair amount of English, that was nice. I think there was a ceremony up by the entrance but I couldn't see anything or understand what I could hear. There was a marching band though! That was cool. Then, when whoever was done talking, we all went into the school and to our class' classroom. While we were walking in, they were playing music, not just any music though. They were playing the theme from Indiana Jones first, then the Mission Impossible theme! It was, well, epic. After we got to our classrooms, the teacher went and talked a little, then we went to the audotorium so last year's students coud get their diplomas or something. After that, we got our schedules and left! This took about two hours at the most. I liked it. Some girls invited me to lunch with them which was cool. We went to Pizza Jazz (there are pizzerias EVERYWHERE) but only one girl got actual pizza. I got Makaroni su vištiena, pasta with chicken. It was very good. The restaurant was on the Laisvės alėja, freedom avenue, a very long pedestrian mall in the center of the city. It's two or three blocks from my school! One block away is a huge mall, Akropolis! Its pretty awesome. Today was the actual 'start' of school. I went to four of my classes, but there were no lessons, teachers and students are still trying to figure out who is in what class and such. Since it was the second day of school, there were only a few classes. It was nice. The only one I understood a fair amount in was English, of course. Since English was my fourth class, I was able to leave right after! I like this set up. It eases you into school instead of what its like in America. The first day, you just might have actual homework! Especialy if its a block class. Now about my uniforms, I really don't know! There are green blazers that I think you're supposed to wear, but only a handful of students were actually wearing them. I just wore jeans and a flannel looking shirt. And back to the school part, I think it will really help me learn the language. I'll get to hear it all day, every day, and I'll have homework in it, so I can translate words and remember! I really hope this works out. I don't see why it won't!
Well, thats it for now, if you have any questions or anything, just email me or something!
