Two days ago we (Diederik an I) left Wassenaar around 9 o'clock to catch our plane to Gatwick airport just outside of London. The flight was only 1 hour and not too bad except for the fact that the woman next to me smelled a little much. As we arrived at the airport we soon saw Mrs. de Wolf waiting for us, she came to pick us up and to leave to Reed's school in Cobham. After 2 and a half hours we finally arrived but there was a small problem. No one was there! Finally we found someone who could give us the phone number of Mr. Clapp, the sixth form housemaster. He gave us a tour around the school and showed us our rooms, which are very, very small! Around 7:30 most boarders came back from there fallbreak. It was a little awkward but soon most people knew who we are. The next morning we were introduced at the assembly which is every monday morning. Our first lesson was science which was quite fun but very different then the lessons at home. You only sit with 8 people in the classroom and you do a lot of practicals and assignments. We only got 4 subjects and a lot of free time in which we should make our work for Holland. Keeping up with normal school is quite hard, we have to do a lot and if you don't get something there is no one near to explain.
