The Ursuline School - New Rochelle
Natalia
I woke to a
drizzly, cold winter morning with the smell of a freshly cooked breakfast
wafting through the house. It was lovely to feel the hospitality of my new home
for the week.
We have
finally made it to New Rochelle, New York. With many of the girls only 10-15
minutes away from the school, we all ran for the heat of the school. We
travelled around the school for the day learning the lay of the land with many
of the girls attending English, Italian, Physics, American History classes, but
my personal favourite was lunch in the cafeteria. The menu, ‘Chef’s Special’
(aka nuggets, grilled cheese sandwiches, vegetable soup) and a salad bar was
warmly welcomed, as they do not have morning tea here, so it can be a long time
between meals. All I could hear was girls talking and laughing, just like home,
and it was hard to spot us through the cute blue Ursuline jumpers with koala
prints (their Ursie bear is a koala!). The most wonderful thing was seeing the halls
and walls adorned with the statues and familiar quotes from Angela, making the
me feel very much at home.
Tonight,
many of the girls will travel into the city to experience a Broadway show, ice
skating, a basketball game or the many exciting cultural attractions. Tomorrow
we all travel into Manhattan for a day in ‘The Big Apple’, with a chance of
snow on Friday!
Ursie also met the TUS Koala!
