It's On Like Donkey Kong

I'll be starting hair school at Shuki Zikri Duri tomorrow morning and I'm very excited. But it's that kind of excitement that has a hint of fear in it. Kind of like when you're done with Junior High and it's time to start High School. It's your first day, your mom drops you off and maybe you don't have many friends cuz most of your friends ended up going to school in a different city. Ultimately, you know you'll make friends but you also know you're gunna have to put some effort in and you're just not sure if these kids will like you. Yup, that's how I feel.

The administrators tell me that I'll be the only American at school this year (which they seemed very proud to report). They told me not to worry though, that there will be English speakers from India and England studying there as well. I really enjoy meeting new people, it's sort of thrilling to me so this should be a lot of fun. I had a meeting with the administrators yesterday and they all seemed very kind and welcoming but the other kids stared at me whenever I'd open my mouth and utter a word of English. I reckon they'll get used to it. Don't get me wrong, I speak Hebrew fluently but I feel that I can express myself more fully when I'm speaking English.
