I am now in Auckland, I had my first day of school today, and I no longer have to share a room with my kid brother. So Auckland is big. My school is big. My room is small, but it was worth losing the few square metres to get a new life.
So, my school: I made a friend. Three, actually. Wendy, Tina and Violet. They seem okay, and the school seems okay. The first thing Violet said to me was: "You are really good at maths." I laughed, because it was a relief not being called Bug Eye because of my huge glasses, or Short Straw because of my height. These people here are nice. I think I might like it here.
