First day in school
OK, now I am gonna tell about my first day in school
My first day in school was confusing. I thought I would never be able to go around at school on my own. Everything was so confusing and in Japanese.
I met around 8:30 at the 6th floor in front of Honma-sensei`s office. I was told I was to be there at exactly 8:25 and that I was gonna give a speech to all the teachers 8:30. I arrived at the 6th floor 8:26, and there was noone.
I didn`t know what to do other than wait, so I sat down and waited. Some 3 minutes passed and a teacher came up the stairs and asked: "emiru-kun desu ka?" (are you Emil?) and I replied "Aa, hai!" - I then followed her down to 1st floor (I think) and I met Ford there (the exchangestudent from Thailand) waiting for something. I sat down beside him and we talked a bit about the speech we were gonna hold. Both of us had just prepared a few sentences introducing ourselves.
After maybe 10 minutes Honma-sensei came out of the room with all the teachers and waved us in. We followed him up front, walking past all the teachers, and sat down on a couple of chairs. Then 2 mintues past and Honma-sensei told them that we were two new exchangestudents ... and then he said just the things about us that we had prepared (being name, age, nationality etc.)! Well, he then waved me up, I stood up, walked up to him as all the teachers were looking and I basically repeated what Honma-sensei had just said. How nice! (Ford did the same).
Anyway, after that we had free time untill 10am where we were going to a welcome meeting in the big hall/auditorium. At 10 we arrived there, got in and sat on one of the front rows. Suddenly a western looking girl came to us and asked in English with a Russian accent, if we were the new exchange students which we, of course, confirmed. She then introduced herself being Angela from Romania, been here since 6 months. She also told us about Fabian, a german exchange student who had also been here fro 6 months, but he was sitting somewhere else in the hall.
Then the `show` started and there were a lot of speeches from teachers etc.... and then me and Ford of course had to do another speech in front of the entire school (being less than 1000 students). We did exactly the same thing as we did in front of the teachers. Honma-sensei said everything about us and we repeated it immediatly afterwards. There was one difference though: As I said "Minnasan ohayougozaimasu!" (Goodmornin everyone!), the entire hall would shout back "OHAYOUGOZAIMASU!!!" - it was really funny and I couldn`t help laughing into the microphone.
Well, after that show I was gonna meet my class, 11C. I was completely lost so Angela helped me and showed me the way to my classroom (504). Her best friend, Yoichiro (cool guy), is in my class and I would soon follow him into the classroom. He told me to sit where I wanted - Reo from my class moved a table from the circle that the tables formed into the middle and made a movement suggesting I should sit there. I laughed and shoke my head and sat down at some random table in the circle. Hara-sensei entered but everyone kept talking and it was just like lunchbreak. Finally she made everyone silent and said something and afterwards asking me to introduce myself -_- again! Even though everyone had heard my introduction in the hall I had to do it again. I said the same things and added something in English that I`m sure nobody understood.
I dared talk to nobody that day - except Angela and Ford - and I was soooo confused. I went home saying good bye to the few people from my class that I would recognize and arrived at home around 3pm, and I slept till 7pm where dinner was served. Afterwards I slept again. That was my first day in school - the following 2 months shall soon be revealed!
Ok, nu vil jeg fortaelle om min foerste skoledag.
Min foerste skoledag var forvirrende. Jeg troede, jeg aldrig ville laere at finde rundt alene. Alt var saa forvirrende og paa japansk.
Jeg moedte ca. kl. 8:30 paa 6. etage foran Honma-senseis kontor. Jeg havde faaet besked paa at vaere der praecis klokken 8:25, og at jeg bagefter skulle give en tale foran alle laererne. Jeg ankom paa 6. sal kl. 8:26, men der var tomt.
Jeg vidste ikke, hvad jeg skulle goere andet end at vente, saa jeg satte mig ned og ventede. Efter 3 minutter kom der en laerer op ad trapperne og spurgte: "Emiru-kun desu ka?" (Er du Emil?), og jeg svarede "Aa, hai!" - Jeg fulgte efter hende ned til 1. sal (vist nok), hvor jeg moedte Ford (udvekslingsstudenten fra Thailand), som sad og ventede. Jeg satte mig ned ved siden af ham, og vi snakkede lidt om talen, vi skulle holde. Vi havde begge bare forberedt nogle faa saetninger til at introducere os selv.
Efter maaske 10 minutter kom Honma-sensei ud fra rummet med alle laererne og vinkede os ind. Vi fulgte efter ham, forbi alle laererne, op foran og satte os ned paa et par stole. Der gik maaske 2 minutter foer Honma-sensei rejste sig og fortalte laererne, at vi var to ny udvekslingsstudenter ... og saa sagde han praecis de ting om os, som vi havde forberedt (navn, age, nationalitet etc.)! Naa, han vinkede mig op, jeg rejste mig, gik op til ham, mens alle laererne kiggede, og saa gentog jeg i grove traek, hvad han lige havde sagt. Hvor smukt! (Ford gjorde det samme).
Naa, bagefter havde vi fri indtil klokken 10, hvor der var et velkomstmoede i den store hal/auditoriet. Klokken 10 var vi der, gik ind og blev dirigeret til et saede paa en af de foreste raekker. Pludselig kom der en ikke-asiatisk pige hen til os og spurgte paa engelsk, om vi var de nye udvekslingsstudenter, hvilket vi maatte indroemme at vaere. Hun introducerede saa sig selv som Angela fra Romaenien. Hun havde vaeret her 6 maaneder. Hun fortalte ogsaa om Fabian, en tysk udvekslingsstudent, som ogsaa har vaeret her 6 maaneder, men sad et eller andet andet sted i hallen.
Saa startede "showet", og der var en masse taler fra laerere etc.... og saa skulle jeg og Ford selvfoelgelig ogsaa holde endnu en tale foran hele skolen (mindre end 1000 elever). Vi gjorde praecis det samme nummer, som vi gjorde foran laererne: Honma-sensei sagde alt om os, og bagefter gentog vi det hele. Der var dog en forskel: Da jeg sagde "Minnasan ohayougozaimasu!" (Godmorgen alle sammen!), hele hallen raabte tilbage "OHAYOUGOZAIMASU!!!" - det var virkelig sjovt, og jeg kunne ikke lade vaere med at grine ind i mikrofonen.
Bagefter showet skulle jeg moede min klasse 11C. Jeg var enormt forvirret, saa Angela hjalp mig og viste mig vej til mit klassevaerelse (504). Hendes bedste ven, Yoichiro (cool guy), er i min klasse, saa jeg fulgte efter ham ind i klassevaerelset. Han sagde jeg bare kunne saette mig hvorsomhelst - Reo fra min klasse skubbede et bord fra cirklen, bordende formede, ind i midten og gjorde en bevaegelse til, at jeg skulle saette mig der. Jeg grinede og rystede paa hovedet og satte mig ved et tilfaeldigt bord i cirklen. Hara-sensei kom ind, men alle blev ved med at snakke som i et frikvarter.
Endelig fik hun alle til ro og sagde et eller andet, og bagefter bad hun mig om at introducere mig selv -_- igen! Selv om alle havde hoert min introduktion i hallen, blev jeg noedt til at goere det igen. Jeg sagde de samme ting og tilfoejede noget i engelsk, som jeg er sikker paa ingen forstod.
Jeg turde ikke tale til nogen den dag - undtagen Angela og Ford - og jeg var SAA forvirret. Jeg drog hjem efter at have sagt farvel til de faa personer fra min klasse, som jeg kunne genkende, og jeg var hjemme omkring klokken 15. Jeg sov indtil kl. 19, hvor der var aftensmad, og bagefter sov jeg igen.
Det var min foerste dag i skole - de naeste 2 maaneder skal snart blive offentliggjort!
