Today it was my first day at school. Lesson started at 9:40 a.m. so I had enough time in the morning. The night before there was a big thunderstorm which prevented me from sleeping for some hours. When I went to school, it was raining, so I had to wear a rain coat, which was very warm, because the temperature did not drop in the rain. 
In my class there are around 15 students, half of them from Germany, Austria or Switzerland, one man from France, one from Spain, and the others from asia (South Korea, Japan, China).
My teacher is Shana, a mid-30s-woman. She is very nice and very funny, so it won't be boring I think. The first half of the lesson we introduced ourselves and then learned some grammar (subject was adverbs, different kinds of adverbs, where to put them in the sentence). In the second half, we were expected to speak English, so there were two bar charts we had to talk about. I think if school will always be like that, I will learn a lot and have much fun in the next four weeks.
In the afternoon I went to the Museum Mile Festival. All the Museums were open for free and the streets were closed, because there were so many people. First I was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they showed Art from all times, so they had things from the Greek and Romans, but also modern art or fashion. For me, it was interesting to see all this, but I do not really understand what is behind the pictures, so I just looked.
After that I was in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. They showed other plans of Wright and some paintings of modern art. The most interesting thing in the museum was the architecture of the building, which is like a snail shell. 
When I was home, I was very tired from the long day, but did my homework before going to bed.
