First day of school

Hmm.  I'm finally actually talking at a normal speed, but to give you an idea of what my family was up against after school today, here you go:
Oh my gosh I was so scared and I didn't know anyone but then the secretary took me to my class and introduced me and said that I was from the United States and the second the teacher left the classroom about two-thirds of the students came over and shook my hand and introduced themselves and I was so overwhelmed but they were all really nice and there's one boy who just came back from a year in America and speaks fluent English and he's really nice and it was the first day at school so all of the kids were really excited and we actually didn't learn anything *gasp for breath* but mostly the teachers talked and the students talked and I have a lot of friends and for English class I stood up in front of the class with the other boy and we talked about America in English and I don't think that the other students understood much but at least they know I can talk and there's a girl from Honduras who's here for a year and she speaks no Italian but does speak English and she seems really nice but seriously everyone seems really nice and I don't have to speak English except when I really don't understand and after school I got home and was barraged by Facebook friend requests and one of my classmates posted a nice welcome on our class page directed especially to me and oh my gosh I know so many more people now and *another gasp* guess what they're really nice and I can't wait for school tomorrow. Oh, does anyone else have anything to say?

    1. Yes, it was rather tough on the ears for a while... What she didn't post is that one of the teachers sent a student out to the bar to get some coffee! Michael and I thought that was hilarious....
