Last night before we headed to bed Celine surprised us with gifts. :) I have a new cookbook that I have full intentions on using. It's a German cookbook with recipes just like my grandma used to make. I also received a kit to make a black forest cake, YUM, and some perfume that smells heavenly. She brought Jim cologne, food, and some history books ... he's in love with history so it's perfect. Daughter received perfume and gummy bears ... son, he's a boy ... hoarding his gifts in his room.
I got up and made her lunch then when I went to wake her she was already up and preparing for the day. :) It was so strange not to have to wake a child to start their day.Makes me see how spoiled my children are! :/ She's not a breakfast eater which I will try to remedy. I don't like sending anyone out for the day without something to eat.
Once at school we had to wait longer then I feel she should have. I have a feeling the counselor didn't have her schedule finished because he did know she would be in first thing this morning. All of her classes seem well chosen except for one ... SPANISH? I'm so confused as to why this counselor would think it's ok to place an exchange student in a foreign language class when she's her to master our language. Celine said she wanted to try to stay in the class but I let her know I didn't think it was smart on the schools part to put her in it and if she felt overwhelmed in it she should let me know so she can be placed in something else. All of her classes are honors. :) She seemed shocked at that thought but honestly, I think she will do well in all of them.
I'm eagerly awaiting her arrival back home so I can see how her first day went. She wanted to ride the bus home.
UPDATE: Celine is smiling but her poor face looks like she was overwhelmed all day. She called her mom almost as soon as she got in. :/ I pray tomorrow will go smoother for her.
