My first day at Reeds

Dear everyone,

I have just started my first day at Reeds and it is awesome! It is totally different from Rijnlandslyceum Wassenaar. For one thing, the school grounds are enormous. I got a tour when I arrived and it felt like I would never be able to find my way around here. Furthermore, there are not a lot of girls here: they only start Reeds in sixth form. Also, you go to school by bus (I had to wake up at six thirty), you have a warm lunch served at school and the school days are much longer. Anyway, I love it here: the kids are kind, the subjects are interesting, with music technology as my absolute favourite, and the teachers are enthousiastic. The thing that I love best about Reeds , apart from the kindness of everyone, is that the children have a house of their own, one house for form one till five and one house for sixth form, both lower (the form which I am staying in) and upper sixth, where they can hang out with each other and relax.
Before Reeds, I have already enjoyed a couple of days in England with my family. I was brought by car, together with my massive pile of luggage, on Friday and we hired a bed and breakfast in Shear, which is a villlage in the hills of Surrey. There we had dinner in a traditional English pub. The next day, we went for the full English breakfast: scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and baked beans and of course, we went to London, were we saw the London Eye, the Big Ben and a couple of other famous buildings. We even went into an actual M&M shop! On sunday, we had the tour around Reeds, which I have already mentioned in the beginning of this post, and my parents dropped me of at my guest's family house, who are really nice. Unfortunately my blogging activities for today are about to come to an end. I promise to keep everybody up to date and I wish everyone in the Netherlands a very nice holiday!
