FSDB (Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind)

Hello!
It has been busy weeks. I will tell you about new school. I will tell you what happen on first day of school to today!

On August 24th, 2009. At 5:30am, I wake up and outside is dark. I ate breakfast...I not sure what did I ate for breakfast..Anyway, I wearing Black shirt, jeans, and flat black shoes. I was anxious. I felt my stomach knot.

At 6:25am, I bring my pink backpack and carries it. We walk and I look up at the sky. Sky is still dark blue with bright shiny stars...We walk to the gate. We waiting and waiting. Bus supposed to pick me at 6:35am.

It is 7:05am, bus came...I sit quietly and my throat feel like tighter and tighter. Kids come in bus...Some are blind, special needs, and deaf. Blind kids and Special needs kids come first to school then little ones go to 2nd building (Elementary) then last building (Middle School and High School)...I got off the bus... We arrived late...8:10am.

I went to science class with Mr. Lally. Then our group join Mrs. Penrose's class. I sit very nervous. I feel butterflies in my stomach. Each kids tell them, three things about them. I stood little bit shy (sometime I am shy with new kids)and told them that I moved to here from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...I went to WPSD (Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf)....I not remember what I said about last one.

Some kids surprise that I live in Northeastern U.S. before. I love Florida but I like Pittsburgh for some fun reason like Kennywood (Amusement Park) and others.

Anyway, then 2nd block....World History with Mrs. Rice...She look little bit like my old teacher from old school, Mrs. Boal. Mrs. Rice is nice teacher.

3rd block...Reading with Mrs. Zwicker.
Lunch...I was so confused! First go to 3rd block class then lunch then back to 3rd block....I used to go class (Period 4) then lunch then Period 5.
It had a calculator...Student's ID number.

Then back to class....Then 4th Block....Algebra 1 with Mr. Varihaki (Hard to spell).

First week was not bad....Not used to....
2nd week was pretty good. Kinda used to.
3rd week (now)- very good...Used to.

  1. I really enjoyed hearing about your new school. It sounds great and you have lots of new friends there already. It must be confusing with 48/49 buildings/ I would need a map! I love how you write, it sounds just like you are talking to me.
    Hope you are having a lovely weekend and do not have lots of homework!

  2. I am so pleased you are settling into school well sweetie - I remember when I started grammar school and being totally baffled by having to go from classroom to classroom every hour for all the different lessons instead of staying in the one class! I am so glad you are making friends and getting used to things - you are a real star!! Fiona x
