Wednesday was the first day of classes!! I got up at 6 AM in order to workout (wayyyyyy too early), and so as I walked into the dining hall at 7 AM, I was wide-awake, unlike the majority of my colleagues.After a quick breakfast, it was time for my first UWC class!
My first class on Wednesdays is English. My teacher, Hannah, is one of the best IB English teachers in the world. She even wrote the textbook for our course! The one side-effect of her prowess is how hard her class is! In my first UWC class, she made us write an essay for 40 minutes...Intimidating? I think so.
After English was over, I had a double code (or block) of Math. The teacher, Dan, is a really cool guy. IB Math Standard looks like a fairly solid course. Thanks to Ms. Ed, I won't have to worry too much about it this semester. Classes here are pretty small, with a couple of exceptions. My largest class is right around 18, but this number is constantly fluctuating as people switch in and out of their classes.
Once Math was over, I had a free code (aka...free period!!), and then school was over for the day. Yes, on Wednesday, we finish at noon. Usually after classes on Wednesday, we have CAS (I'll explain in a later post). Today, however, was CAS fair, where we get to choose our CASes for a semester.
Tomorrow will be a more general post, about Thursday and Friday.
Harry, I can feel my eyelids drooping in sympathy! Hope Friday's lessons went well including your first Econ session. We are off to Richmond and Charlottesville. Will be thinking of you and Mr Snively on those trips!
