The fourth day~ I went to Prioy

I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't sleep any more. After having my breakfast quickly at seven, I didn't see my hostmom and dad. Aren't they supposed to drive Nick and me to school? When I walked to the gorage, I found out that it was Nick, who is going to drive me to school. It was so cool! The boy who has the same age as me can drive here!! It won't happen in my country. I wish I could drive now, too.





Sanit Louis is a very beautiful city, just like a farm, and I saw many horses on my way to school. The air is so cool and fresh.



Priory is a small school. There are only 400 students in this school. The students here are so interesting, they fight (just playing) and make fun with each others. I see lots of energy on them.


When we arrived at school, we went to church and prayed. I was very exciting to see an Organ in the church. There are only three organs in Taiwan. One of my music teachers told me before. When the ceremony began, I could feel the holy atmosphere here. They sang, prayed an walked to the monk and took some "body of Christ". I followed Nick's step walking to the monk and told him that I'm not a Catholic. I didn't take the food and the water. But it is a totally new experience for me. I shall remember all the ceremony in my life.

Mr. Mulvihill showed us the campus of Priory. There are many geese on the campus. I am so surprised that they aren't afraid of people at all.



I had my first class. It was Theology. I didn't understand what the teacher was talking about. It was too difficult for me. Students and teachers have to pray before the class. Teachers there aren't very strict. They always "talk about" their lessons, not just teaching, teaching, and teaching in the class like the teachers in Taiwan. I think this is the better way to learn more efficiently than just reading the text books all the time.

Lunch time!! It is free for us with many kinds of food. I am surprised to see some rice here. I ate a lot of salad. I have to eat more vegetables here I told myself.


After school, Nick had a basketball game (He is in the basketball team). I was very "high" because the freshmen of Priory have won a lot of points. The basketball team had a big dinner and I had some pizza with them. Those boys are so active and I had a great time with them.
