1st week done in WAB

Well, theres nothing much to do here in this weird looking home in the middle of nowhere. Well next to my apartement, is just a bunch of dead trees and this river, which doesn't really flow.

Well the first week has been rough, finding out where everything is, my teachers; and more recently homework... Now that the first week is over, I can point out the main differences :).

Well, WAB's schedule works so that each class isn't at the same time of the day, like CISS floater classes. But each class is 80 minutes long, it's kind of hard to concentrate after 40 minutes.

Both are laptop schools, but WAB isn't fully Mac intergrated, so students can use PC computers too. We don't use computers as much as Concordia, but at least the teachers don't use remote desktop (I don't think they even have it). People here don't use iWork or iLife. They tend to use Microsoft Office for everything. It really bugs me for some reason.

My teachers here are mostly Australian and British. Although I have been thaught like this for 10 years, I can't get used to their accent. Teachers are pretty funny, well some of them.

Science is about cells and the human body, a lot different than the chemestry we learnt in Concordia. Social Studies is named Humanities here, and we just finished World War One, and doing stuff about sourcing. English here is about Poetry, and the exact same topics aout poetic devices, and 500 word analysis about a single poem. Math is mostly about geometry, but there are sub units to do with algebra and calculus.

There are a other subjects, such as PE/Health, technology, Fine Arts, and Chinese. Nothing worth talking about.

WAB is huge, compared to CISS and it takes forever to get to classes.
Food is cheaper and better here too :) Probably because it's not made by Eurest.

That's all right now...
