I've found a school that my "family" approves of, and I get to start in a couple of weeks. I'm actually excited about the uniforms - it'll make getting ready every day easier. I've never really been one to care about how I dress.

So much for summer vacation. I hope the differences between school in Wisconsin and school in London aren't too large. I'm glad I stayed here, though. I don't even want to know what school would have been like in Belgium.

Edit: Wait, what? School started on the 21st? I'm a late register? ... I have to go to school tomorrow already?

	Well, there are accents. And, uh...actually that pretty much tapped out my wellspring of educational information. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I certainly hope you're not an authority on private British high schools for girls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. I mean unless you count having walked by one when I was on vacation with my family when I was ten. But I'm pretty sure there'll be accents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, thank you, Henry. My mind is set at ease. I actually like it here. If I can't be in the Abarat, at least I'm not in Chickentown, Wisconsin, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	I'm here to help. That's a pretty good point, yeah. You like the big cities, I take it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2008-04-30 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	I like anywhere there's things to see and do. So, I suppose that means cities most of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Then London probably won't be too bad. I mean, I was ten when I was there so I only got to see what my parents wanted to see, but it seemed cool. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like it a lot so far. And apparently I'm not too far from drinking age, so I can go get pub food soon. I don't drink - and I won't ever - but pub food sounds okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	That depends entirely on the pub in question. If they're anything like bars over here, you want to be very careful about which places you eat at. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll keep that in mind. I'll have people in the know help me out at first, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very good call. Food poisoning sucks. I speak from experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My mom had that once. It seems pretty awful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They probably didn't have a whole lot of bar food in ancient Italy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	True. But food storage was even worse than it is in bars, so I figure he probably just missed it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have to go to school tomorrow. Ugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yikes. That's a pretty quick transition from registration to attending. You good with it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apparently the semester started on the 21st? I don't know. I'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you are a princess. You could probably get away with not showing up the first couple days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2008-04-30 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Ugh, I don't want to use that as an excuse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just throwing it out there. Probably wouldn't endear you to the rest of the girls, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I'll tell the truth and say that I've only just arrived in London and had to register late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guyin302 2008-04-30 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	That could work too. And wouldn't irk the ire of the other students. I think you've got a winner. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm glad you found one! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am too. I didn't want to move to Belgium. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure Belgium is lovely, but it's better if you're here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2008-04-30 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	antigone_grace 2008-04-30 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well? What school did you choose? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toitshour 2008-04-30 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School. It's in Islington. The uniforms are kind of cute. (Reply to this) (Parent)
