My first week in Australia has passed and I’m terribly homesick.
My first week in Australia has passed and I’m terribly homesick.
Jennifer and
Christopher are kind and Mark and Amber are really friendly. During this week
Amber and I have become close friends: we talk about school, boys and sports. I’ve
also started school: I’ve noticed that is very different from my school
in Russia. The school building is very big, there are lots of subjects and
classes. Students must know how to get organized and how
to choose different courses: it’s like university!! I don’t know what to study,
I’m following Amber like a shadow and I do the same classes she takes, even if
I know that it is wrong. In Russia you don’t choose because the course of studies
is fixed. Here we finish classes at four o’clock p.m. and we go swimming or
surfing: the only problem is that in Russia we don’t swim or surf because we
almost don’t know what a sea is. In addition I often get sunburned because my
skin is white and delicate, so I am as
red as a beetroot! I must wear a t-shirt and so someone has started to pick on
me and call : “Beetroot, beetroot!!” I’m furious: yesterday I had a temperature
and I layed on my bed crying.
Today I feel better:
my back doesn’t “burn” anymore. Amber promised she will take me to Opera House: my friends
told me that it’s amazing! during this week I’ve also improved my English, even
if I still have problems to understand and talk .. Sometime I wish I could fly and go back to
Moscow, just for one night: talk with Aleksandr, tell mum and dad everything
about my problems and then return back
here. I know that Australia is a great opportunity for me and then here there
is…..James: that’s the name of the guy of my dreams, my charming prince. I saw
him at school, during lunch time and since that moment I haven’t stopped looking at him: he’s like a drug! He’s so handsome:
he has very short blond hairs and green eyes. There’s only one problem:
he is the most popular guy of my high school, the captain of the rugby team, so
I don’t know what to do to conquer him. Don’t forget that I’m called
“beetroot”! Today Amber is not going to
school, so I must go along Sidney alone. There is a lot of traffic and the subway
terrifies me. In Moscow I take the bus in front of my house and I’m at school
in twenty minutes’ time. So, if I’m not going to write anymore you should know
that I definitely got lost in one of the large streets in Sidney! Now I have to
go, Jennifer has cooked her delicious pancakes with syrup: they aren’t like our
“palacinke” but they are really good!
