Izzie started school last week. She was so excited to ride the bus. I have to say I was quite excited by the bus also... it picks her up right outside our door (so we can stay indoors until it pulls up which will come in handy during the winter months) and they are really nice buses (most of them are made by Mercedes Benz). The bus driver got out and introduced himself to me. His name was Tommy. The afternoon driver's name I have already forgotten but apparently he tells jokes all the way home.
The school seems to be amazing (as it should since one year's tuition cost almost as much as my entire 4 year college tuition)!! To start off, I emailed to find out where I could find the school supply list... there isn't one!!! All the things she needs for school are supplied by the school (good to know that the above mentioned expensive tuition covers more than just walking into the school).
Tony and I attended a 4 hour orientation on Saturday at the American School. A 4 hour orientation seemed excessive but it was very informative about the school and living in London. There were resource booths setup during lunch... it felt a lot like being in college when you go to the student center to find the right group you fit in with that is also trying to recruit people. There were clubs for adults, sports groups for after-school, even churches in the area were represented. I signed up to volunteer at the school in several areas, one of them is working in the front office in hopes of getting to know the admission people. So operation "Get Logan into ASL" is now under way.
As much as I do look forward to moving back home one day, I think I will miss the opportunities Isabelle and Logan could have had spending their school years at ASL.
Funny that she started on Labor Day...! Haha! I hope "now that school has started" you are all settled in to the routine... :) Nothing like a quick trip to the States to blow it all out of the water, huh?!? ;p I will be praying for things to go smoothly in your absence.
