Reed's is exciting

I really do like the school program here at Reeds, although it is very different from the RLW. Here you have a lot more student involvement during the lessons. Believe it or not, here the students are very well prepared and they ask many questions, because some of them also sleep on the campus they are not seen as evil teachers, but they are like friendly people that you also talk with just because you like to talk with them. The teachers are also very well prepared and give nice presentations and useful summaries. After the teacher has explained a specific topic, it becomes more of a question and answer conversation between the teacher and the students.  I am still observing this with great interest, but I am also trying to participate more actively. Until now I did not really break through, but I still have some weeks left. I am sure that I am following the lessons with some really bright students here at Reeds. And what is also nice, is that the atmosphere in the class is very social, calm and orderly and everyone is very friendly and polite. When school ends most of the people have activities to 5:15. At 5:30 most students have to leave with the bus, but for the boarder’s diner starts at 6:00 so I sometimes go to the gym after my activities have finished. After diner you have two hours of ’’prep time’’, this is when you have to do your homework. After prep time we sometimes play football with some other boarders or we watch some television and eat some more food. Then I go to bed, because I have to stand up at 7:15 every day to have breakfast.
