I Am Going To Boarding School

My dad has bought me a trunk to put all my stuff into. It is purple, so I already love it 😌 He says it is big enough for me to sleep in if I do not like my bed. That is not a very funny joke 🐻

I have bought all the items on the uniform list. I do not know why I have to have 15 sets of underwear - that makes no sense 😕 Next week, when I am back home, I will have to sew name labels into all of my clothes, even the socks 😟

I need to buy two new duvet covers, because the ones I own are for double beds.

And why do you need to put your name on things will they be doing your washing> Oh what about your gf will she be going to boarding school to? Oh make sure you get a lock for your trunk yes it comes with a lock but those things are so easy to open it's best to get a paddle lock now they have ones where you can set your own code.

@updown2020 I have to do coaching on a Saturday as part of my scholarship, so it is difficult to get away for the whole weekend. It is possible that Sophie can stay the weekend in my room, but I will have to ask the permission of my room mate first.

@TammieBear Well would you not have to ask permission from some staff member after all you do not want to have Sophie in your room and some staff questing what she is doing there and maybe throw her out. I would investigate first what the rules are with friends staying over.And what your roommate would think about if she saw you and your gf sleeping together or plan it when your roommate goes home for the weekend.

@updown2020 We're allowed to have guests at the weekend, but obviously we've got to respect our room mates. So I need to get to know mine better first 😕

Good luck .I went to boarding school and hated it and would never have sent my kids to boarding school after my experience .I hope your experience is positive.

@Rhodesianman Thank you for your good wishes. It is my choice to go to this school, to get the best tuition for my A-levels. So I hope it will be good.

I always find it funny when they want you to put your name in your underwear. Like others at the school are going to be stealing them or something

@geojr1 Well no because it would be the same thing like other clothes girls have the same underwear and socks and blouses so that's why the name tags. mind you if everyone is doing their own laundry. Oh well if those are the rules those are the rules.

TammieBear · 22-25, F

@updown2020 Our laundry is done by house staff, but socks are socks, doesn't really matter if you get someone else's.

updown2020 · 61-69, M

@TammieBear Well yes it does people want their own cloths not someone else's and people have different size feet.

@TammieBear And how do they check to make sure you are wearing the right ones or do they check when they do your laundry?

TammieBear · 22-25, F

@updown2020 I don't know, I am sure to find out soon.
