First day at Reeds

Today was my first day at Reeds school. It was just like I hoped and expected it to be. Jelmer and I had loads of teachers to meet and work to do to get settled in, but we were almost done with these things quite quickly. We got our schedule, we met our tutors and we visited the classes of the subjects we had chosen. The subjects changed a bit this morning, because Mr. Atkins explained to us that PE (physical education) is not the same subject as the PE we know from the Rijnlands. PE at Reeds is the theoretical part of sporting, which is the opposite of what we have at home as PE. We were lucky that Mr. Atkins was able to warn us for this misunderstanding and we ended up choosing General Science instead of PE. After school we went to Mrs. Lams office, so we could finish our settling in. This took about an hour, after which it was time for me to go back to the house of family Roy.
