Ah ha.  School.  I’ve been thinking for a really long time on how to refer to such a place when I talk about it.  Some kind of nickname perhaps, but I’ve been unsuccessful so far.  However, I just thought of one that could work.  We’ll call it school from now on.

I feel like a new kid at a big new school.  I feel lost.  There are so many things going on – so many administrative things to do – so many questions I have – so many things.  The problem is since it’s a big school, it’s hard to know who can help me.  Unlike the old small school, it was easy.  Not only is this school big, I’m new too.  It’s a good thing I have one classmate that’s been there for awhile that I played basketball with that has been so helpful!

I’m still getting used to the freedom at this school.  I’m still learning the ropes.  Still trying to figure out where everything is – I got lost looking for a classroom the other day.

It’s exciting so far.
