Hey Oh

You know what's a great start to the day? Walking to school in the freezing dark and then doing maths for an hour, despote the sun not being up. The maths teacher doesn't try to talk to me, which is good, because I have no idea what's going on. All I can understand from history is that they're talking about the third world. Also, she keeps saying 'Fidel', but I'm not sure if that's what she's actually saying. Oh, and the Suez Canal. Spanish is the most randm thing ever, they were doing a listening exercise that went for like 15 MINUTES. I can pick out the occasional word, cause it's similar to French, but apart from that, my mind wanders, and I find myself thinking a lot about Zorro. Economics is about as exciting as maths, and I have equally no idea what's going on. All I could gather from philosophy is that time is circular and happiness doesn't exist.

Marine told me that after lunch, we have two hours of playing soccer, outside. But it's freezing cold, I reply. We will get sick. That's why you're supposed to bring tracksuit pants, leggings, and a jumper to play in, apparently. But then, we were walking home from lunch, it started to snow. Very exciting, and pretty, but cold. We cannot play soccer outside for two hours, I say, it is snowing. No, apparently you can be forced to, in this random country.
But then we are told that sport is cancelled after all. A cheer goes up from me, Marine, and all her friends (who are very nice, by the way. One of them is called Berenice and she has the exact same coat that I do). As an extra bonus, we all get to go home early. We walk past some dude who is wearing SHORTS while I've got on a long sleeved top, a jumper, my coat, my leggings, my pants, gloves, a beanie and two scarves. And I was still cold. Thankfully, Marine says it only snows about two times in winter. Let's hope the other one is Christmas.
