A Week has Passed

Hello everyone,

My first schoolweek at Reeds has come to an end. I have just started to settle in. I can find most of my classrooms by now and I have made a couple of new friends. I am also getting involved in schoolactivities by now, as I have joined the orchestra (I play the clarinet) and the senior clarinet ensemble. Furthermore, I will take clarinet lessons at school. Switching from music to sport; for the games every wednesday, I did swimming. Personaly, I thought the swimming was mental. Would you believe me if I told you that the warming up was forty laps of twenty five metres? The swimming pool is also much more chlory here than the Sterrenbad in Wassenaar: when I came out my eyes were burning and I basically looked like a vampire (except the long, white, pointy teeth). Next time I'm going to wear goggles! Last but certainly not least of my recent after-school activities: CCF(don't ask me what it stands for, because I don't know either). As you'll probably have no idea what CCF is, let me explain it to you. CCF is basically a youth cadette force of Reeds. So you walk around in uniform, learn how to fire a gun, and sometimes you go camping with your CCF buddies. Sorry folks, the description is a bit vague, but I can't describe it any better than this so you'll just have to stick to this description. Anyway, I am getting involved in quite a lot of after- (or before-) school activities and I am certainly enjoying it here. Halas, it's time to conclude for now, thus: I am enjoying it here and I hope everyone has had a nice holiday and no one has broken something because of a nasty fall on skis.
