School starts tomorrow for Nordrhein-Westfalen, Aachen's Bundesland. However, I am required by CBYX to remain in support group for two more weeks, so I'll actually start September 1st-- the same week as South! Anyway, today I visited my new school, Viktoriaschule, to sign up for classes.

| Willkommen bei Viktoriaschule! |
Unlike South, which is in the middle of a pretty quiet neighborhood, Viktoriaschule is in a bustling city, and it definitely has an urban vibe to it. I'll be in the Oberstufe, which is the German equivalent of a senior high, so grades 10 through 12. I'll be in Q1, aka 11th grade. Hello 16- and 17-year-olds!

After signing up for English, German, PE, music, history, social studies, biology, math, and other classes I'm probably forgetting, we took a little tour of the school. Biggest difference: the halls aren't lined with rows and rows of lockers. What?!?!? Also, the assembly hall/theater space is tip-top, especially when compared to the Rose at South. There are individual, cushioned chairs, huge windows, and a spanking wood floor.
