Bea’s experiences
In BostonNEWPORT
Today we went to Newport!!
I like it so much, although leaving at 7:20 from the school isn’t very funny 
. First of all, we went to an old huge mansion, the Breaker’s House. The Breaker family lived on the XX century and the bougth the house near the sea with all the facilities you can imagine. They had 70 rooms and 5o servants, and gardens next to the sea. It was very beautiful. After that, we went to another mansion. It wasn’t so old, but it was rebuilt because a fire destroyed it. This one had huge and really nice gardens and trees. We went out in order to make some photos.
After the visit we went to downtown, where we spent the afternoon eating and shopping. We would like to stay more because the city was so nice with the sea and the boats. I’d like to go there again!
The Weekend
It’s the end of our first week here. On Friday instead of going to classes we went to the Blackstone Vocational School, a school where people are prepared to their own future job. It was huge, with very good services and facilities. Students had one week of normal classes, and other one with their specific activities such as design, hairdresser and beauty, manufacturing, cooking, cars’ fix, and a lot more. At lunch time we ate at the school’s own Restaurant, where the students cooked for us. All was delicious.I wish there was such a school in Spain.
On Saturday Carola went to my house and we went to a park where there was a huge and very nice forest and a big lake. Unfortunately nobody of us took the camera, so we planned to come back next day. In the afternoon we went to Laura’s house because it was her birthay. We all had lots of fun there. In the evening we went to another birthday, one of my exchange student’s friend and I saw all of us there, so it was very funny.
Carola stayed with me because there were nobody at her house, so she slept at mine.On Sunday we went to the park again, but this time with a camera in order to make lots of photos of the trees an animals because all was very nice. In the evening we went bowling with everybody and we played until our families came to pick us up.
I’d like weekends to be longer but, at least, tomorrow we’ll go to Newport!!
School’s Day
Hello!!
Yesterday I had my first day at Mildford High School. First we went to a meeting with all the students and the teachers in order to explain to us what are we going to do here and how our behaviour had to be. Then Mrs. Olano’s students showed us the school, it is huge!! I could get lost here very easily.
The rest of the day we went with our respective classes. I followed Katie (she is my american student) through the school with no idea about where I was.
People were very friendly with me, asking a lot of things about Spain, but classes are too long.
Today at school I talked more with the students and more or less I can find the way to class. It will take me a little more not to get lost here.
At least there’s one thing with I have no problem: at night I’m so tired that I’m willing to go to bed.
Goodbye!!
BOSTON
Hello!! Today we went to Boston with our american mates. It was a fantastic day!!
First, we went to a tour by bus. We saw many things, and the city is very nice and big!! After that the bus went into Charles River and we sailed through it for a while, it was funny!
What I liked the most was The Science Museum. It was huge!! We saw a room about mathematics, which wasn’t bad although it may seem to be boring. And we saw another room about the electricity, with many things to experience. Optical Illusions were interesting too so was the room about The Weather. In fact, there were so many places to go that we couldn’t visit all of them and I was really tired in the end.
Pre-start
Hello!! I’m Beatriz Álvarez Zapatero and i’m 15. I study in Valladolid, at San Agustín school, and I’m going on a exchange with a girl in Mildford, Boston, from the 5th to the 27th of October, and I believe it will be a really nice experience.
I will upload some photos about all the things I do there and write about my daylife.
