The first school week!

How I already mentioned in my lost post the school has begun on 1st of September. It is not only in Estonia a special day but e.g in Latvia and Russia too. First I went to the ceremony of Iti, my little host sister, who had her first school day in her life. In her class are only 6 people! The entire school has 9 grades, but only about 80 students. Typical for a little village in Estonia I think. After that we drove to Rakvere. My school is bigger, it has about 900 students. I was so nervous! The ceremony took place on the schoolyard and it was pretty good, although I didn't understand anything. The choir sang, the school band or something like that played a song too and the head master gave a speech. Then we all went to our classrooms, where we had to introduce ourselves(my nervousness grew even more) and our class teacher told us the timetable for the next day-unfortunately by word of mouth and so I didn't get anything, despite the help I got.
The next day was the first real school day. I was very confused because I didn't know my timetable (you can check it in the Internet), but my class is very nice.
 The subjects are pretty similar to Germany, I have: History, Geography, Biology, Maths, Physics,Music, Art, Estonian (about the origin of the language and grammar), Literature, English, German, PE, Anthropology (lessons about humans). Because I am in the theatre class I also have Film and Drama. I will also go to the lessons of the younger kids instead of some German lessons to improve my Estonian.
On Thursday everything was less stressful and confusing for me. We wrote our first history test there! On the second school day. It was a map of Greece you had to fill the names in and you also had to answer a few questions. I think I'm going to get a 1! There are grades from 1 to 5, 1 is the worst and 5 the best.
Today we had our first drama class and it was so awesome. I think we have a pretty good teacher, because the class laughed all the time. It's so awful when someone says something funny and everyone laughs, and you just don't get it. One reason more why I should keep learning Estonian. We had to introduce ourseves again on the little stage in our drama room and then we had to stand in a line and hug everyone and say them hello. I'm looking forward to the class about films on Monday.
I'm going to tell you more about the school in Estonia in a few weeks, when I have more experience.
