Hi everyone! It's Shayna. Well I've just had my first day at school and it took forever! Everyone knows what they're doing and I keep looking around to see what to do. This is a picture of Mason and I in our hideous uniforms. I found out that 1. no one wears the ties 2.no one wears the cardigan (sweater)and3. everone wears the red sweatshirts. I have the gray. But all in all I think I will like it here. Everyone asks me to "speak". It sounds like I'm a dog. But they are all really nice. I could feel people staring and talking about me but I didn't mind too much. If someone came to America that was English I would be staring too. There are also a lot more Blacks and Indians here. Everyone is so nice. Lots of kids showed me around. It's so weird to have people just coming up to me and saying "hi what's your name?" People actuallty do that. They just come up and start talking. Everyone is so nice here. My teachers name is Miss O'Conelly and she is very nice. I miss everyone and want to come home soon even though I am having a great time here.Bye!
Shayna =)

Hey, Shay,
What's on your head?
Shayna, you and Mason certainly look the part of proper English school children despite disliking the uniforms. I have no doubt you will get things figured out in no time. We miss all of you terribly but know this is one experience you will never forget. Just think of all the essays and reports you are going to get out it! Keep writing. Hope you are all keeping journals you can share when we see each other next time. Miss you bunches. Hugs and kisses. Aunt Heather.
Jer, thanks for the update. Sounds like this school and the students are right up your alley! Lots and lots of challenge. Did you bring your Hammer with you? Ever seen "To Sir With Love"?
As you wrote, this adventure was to give the kids a more global vision and it certainly appears to have accomplished that. They are very lucky kids.
Adapt, adapt, and adapt again. Can just see Bev rumbling down the street with her suitcases filled with goodies. Any pictures?
We miss you terribly and wish a trip to visit you was as simple as driving down from Minneapolis. Unk and I will send a LONG email in a couple of days.
Chin up old chap! Auntie H.
i hope i wasnt scary on your first day at school...
