Today I went to my school Mooloolaba State school! I met the principal (David Turner), deputy principal, host teacher (Danette Flick), and substitute teacher who will be in my class the first two weeks im there Chris. My teacher Danette will be on long service leave for the first 2 weeks vacationing, but Chris seems really nice and like she’s a fun teacher. The students were so cute, and so excited to meet me. They had a present for me which included a stuffed animal bird, a deck of cards, vegemite, cookies, and an Australian flag. They also all sang me a welcoming song, and 3 girls read a welcoming poem. I can’t wait to start! They school was so different than our at home. Each classroom is in its own building and the kids have to walk around outside from building to building for different subjects such as art, P.E, Japanese, etc. And yes they learn Japanese at school. From Mooloolaba we went to Maroochydore State High School. That was a cool school too so different from schools at home. They fed us a lot of traditional Australian food there that was very delicious for morning tea. Morning tea is really big here and every school takes time out of their day for it. Its pretty much what we call snack time at home but all the grades do it not just in elementary school. Tonight we all went out for Mexican food at Montezuma’s. It’s right down the road. They had really good food and even better margaritas! I still get nervous ordering drinks because im not 21 even though the drinking age is only 18.
