At the Alpine school at the moment every one is really starting to feel relaxed being around every one else.

At first we were all unsure because we didn’t know each other very well but now it all feels comfortable.  It is starting to feel a lot like a big family, and now that we have been here for a few weeks, it feels natural. Of course we can’t all always get along but we all try as hard as we can and work together to get around the little problems that may arise.  Sometimes people get sick of always being around everyone else and we are all good at giving other people space when they need it, even though it is some times hard to do when we are living so closely together.

I am really enjoying being here, even though at the start it took a while to get used to the idea of staying here away from my family for nine weeks but now everything just  feels so normal, its almost like having a home away from home.
