School was a NO go

My alarm goes off at 6 in the morning and despite how difficult it was for me to get out of bed I did in a content manner. I get ready and am ready in less than 30 minutes. Next thing I know I am on my way to the one and only "Inmaculada Concepcion". We were there in less than 5 minutes. Thank goodness! Because I a, going to have to walk to school and with the amount of blisters I have now, there is no way I can go far.

I was definitely nervous going in. I did not know what to expect and really wanted for everyone to like me and not to just be the "new girl from a foreign country". I wanted for people to befriend me because I seemed nice not because I was foreign. But I didn't even get to finish my thoughts because the moment I walked in to the principals office, she REJECTED ME!

Yes I did say REJECT.

She told me I had to have a uniform to go to school. But I would have not been allowed in for various other reasons; My hair was down, I had make up on, my nails were red, and I had earrings. The rules are ; No makeup, No earrings, No nail polish and hair must be gelled back in a ponytail.

....yeah....

At least I get to wake up later, right? ... Anyone?

 -_-

So I was sent back to my home and because I had woken up so early I could not go back to bed so I decided to go to the grocery store and go on a walk. So I go to the grocery store and buy A LOT of food and when I came back.... low and behold.... I was LOCKED OUTSIDE.

Great.

So I decided to continue my walk for a few minutes until Rosa (the housekeeper) came home. The few minutes turned into an hour. By the time I cam back I was exhausted but I had no time to rest because I had to go to the gym and get measured for my uniform.

The gym was quite interesting. It is not like a gym in the US. Because a.) It is in a house b.) a man tells you what you have to do and you have no other choice but to do it and c.) the machines are...well... different. haha but all in all I worked up a sweat :)

After the gym I walked downtown and my legs pretty much gave out by the time I got there and I bought the tie that goes with my uniform and tights. A man asked me if I was buying my police officer uniform? haha?

I came back by bus for the first time and skyped with everyone and their mother including my mother!

Even though I didn't go to school I am EXHAUSTED!

thanks for reading! :)
