School

Liceo Naval Almirante Guise
This is the school that I attend here, located in San Borja, which on the bus route ends up being an hour ride in the morning and in the afternoon.
It is a private Navy Catholic school complete with uniforms, students from different countries and who have lived in different countries because of parents in the navy and a nun. And not to mention a combined school student body much larger than Lincoln!
So differences:
~The teacchers move
You stay in the same room with the same students all day (until english when it is divided by skill level)
~Schedual
So I take seven clases at Lincoln (which was a huge deal last year when we jumped fom six to seven) and here everyone takes like...twelve. It's a really odd schedual where you have a class for either an hour or two in a row and then another teacher comes in and you start soemthing else.
~the breaks and stuff are all different too because the eating schedual here is totally different. So instead of having a lunch break we have to recesses, where people eat and buy snacks. So we have about four classes and then like a twenty minute break and then we have more classes and then a longer break and then three more classes. Then I return home and eat lunch- which is equivolent to dinner in the U.S.
~Uniforms
All right so there is the athletic uniform you wear the day that you have P.E. (which everyone has every year and the girls and boys get seperated for) which makes me feel like a fat lemon. Yellow t-shirt, then navy athletic pants (with a yellow stripe down the side) and a zip up jacket as well. Important side note. I am really tall here. So clothes that fit me come in really large sizes soooo everything is length wise good but just llllaarge.
And for the rest of the days we have the catholic girl skirt but in navy and green. Then there is the white button up blouse and the other collard white blouse (you get to choose what day you wear which-oooooh!). Knee high navy blue socks with a green stripe at the top matched with black shoes. And then for a jacket a "knitted" button up which in the U.S. would be cute and are in fashion to wear with normal clothes, but here just scream uniform! So I'm kinda happy to bring it home and wear it with my school sign on it and feel trendy, just have to wait for that moment.

And what "private navy-catholic" school has meant so far: before some classes we say a prayer or three... I can't tell because they are very long and everyone just sort of mumbles them. Also we had a school wide gathering one morning and there are these comands that are used to indicate what stance and so forth we should be in.

I will post pictures of my uniform soon enough!
