First day of school

Kathleen survived her first day of school in Paris. She had a rather dazed look when she came out of the door in the wall of the school at 4:30! We had lead her to believe that some of her classes would be in English but we discovered that only her English class is in English! Fortunately there were several new students in her grade today. One girl is in all the same classes with Kathleen. Unfortunately, the person who was suppose to greet us all and get the students started was lated. Even worse, when she did arrive nobody informed her that we were waiting (for 90 minutes)for her! Kathleen missed science today but has it quite frequently this week. Her schedule is CRAZY! Every day begins at a different time. In the course of two weeks, sometimes it is 9:00, sometimes 9:30, one day it is 10:30 and twice it is 8:30. Most days she gets out at 4:30 except Wednesday when she is out at 1:30.......I think!!! Oh and lunch can vary from 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hours beginning anywhere from 11:00 to 12:30! Then there is the homework! The whole family sat around the table with a dictionary and her text books and tried to understand what was going on! We will learn a lot!!! D'accord! Thankfully her math teacher did not give a lot of homework! Unfortunately, she is studying geometry and not algebra which is full of vocabulary of the french variety! We survived! Now the girls are falling asleep and Megan has chosen to sleep in the living room where all of the computers are (all seven.....not necessarily functioning) so I must end this entry and add more tomorrow! Au revoir....bon nuit!
