Explore "My First Day at the Lyceum" by Anne Frank on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
After much wavering back and forth, discussion and debate, it was finally decided that I could attend the Jewish Lyceum and - after several more phone calls - that I could skip the entrance exams. I was a poor student in every subject, especially Maths, and I was inwardly quaking at the thought of Geometry.
At the end of September, the long-awaited letter arrived, informing me that I was to enrol in the Jewish Lyceum on Stadstimmertuinen on such-and-such a date in October. When the appointed day came, it was pouring with rain, which made it impossible for me to cycle to school. So I took the tram, and of course I wasn't the only one.
