School starts again

Aug 23rd, 2006 by Lillian

The CDSC started a week later than all the other international schools. So everyone has meet their new and ‘old’ teachers, old and new classmates. Its been quite emotional. My youngest is in 1st grade now.
Do you remember your first day of school? I remember going to a local school in PNG-Papua New Guinea and being the only white kid. A year later I remember meeting my first grade teacher Mrs. Blinks at Tari Internation School . I loved her. I always enjoyed going to school but the language changes from english to german made it hard. Boarding school really made going to school hard. .. I hated it and hated learning german and french….. sigh….But I loved primary school. I always had good friends and we had some awesome fights. Let the kids fight.. it gets much more complicated when you are older right?
And now, I’ll enjoy a few hours for myself before the children come home at lunch time. YIPPPEEEE.

I’ve always loved back to school time. It sounds as if you have lived quite a life. You should post a mini biography as I am sure I am not the only one interested.

Liebe Lillian

Ich hoffe ihr seit wieder gut Zuhause angekommen. Zu schnell gehen die Ferien vorbei und der Alltag kehrt wieder ein. Dafür geniesse ich seit letzter Woche auch die paar “freien Stunden”, wo nun beide Kinder ausser Haus sind

An meinen ersten Schultag mag ich mich noch gut erinnern. Ich liebte die Schule und war sowas von stolz. Bin auch immer gerne zur Schule gegangen, ausser in die Berufsschule. Habe wohl den falschen Beruf gewählt - dafür aber dort meinen Mann kennen gelernt

Ich grüsse Dich ganz herzlich
und wünsche Dir einen schönen Tag.
