My family and I moved to J.A.W.S. last week and it has been a bit of an adjustment. Here we are not allowed to use our cell phones in certain places, like in stores or even walking down the street. The other day I was walking to the grocery store and got a text from my best friend back in the States and received some very nasty looks from my fellow pedestrians when I responded. I suppose I understand though, since as I was texting I became somewhat careless and nearly crossed the street while the light was green! Plus, it is rude. I should be meeting new people, not texting!
I’m excited to start school, as I’ve been told that students at the J.A.W.S. high school take more classes surrounding technology than back home. I’d very much like to learn more about different programs, like Photoshop, InDesign, and computers and other various technologies in general. Unfortunately, back home education regarding technology is not as in depth or even available. The curriculum includes only the basics.
I explored a bit the other day and found that J.A.W.S. has many parks and preserves where you can go hiking or canoeing. That will certainly be a welcome change from the concrete jungle we lived in before moving here. Also there is a huge gym with every exercise and work out resource you can think of! Working out more will definitely be a good change for our family. Overall I think we will be very happy here.
