Day Three
Today I woke up pretty early and had breakfast, and went to school. It’s a pretty organized schedule. Then, I went to school, and we had a random hour long break in the middle of the day. We went out and played in town. Then we had one more hour of school, then lunch, and then school was over.
I’m still getting used to this kind of schedule, and I think so is everyone else. Even though we’re the newest family to come to Felice Buono, it’s a pretty new society; made by people who were apparently fed up with Democracy. It’s pretty different, but not so much. The only real difference that I’ve noticed is we don’t get to pick our leaders, and our current leaders seem pretty good at it.
Citizens do, however, get to have a say in things. Like a “Suggestion Box,” people can submit their ideas to the government. The leaders talk about them and decide on them as a law. Then, they notify the person if they’re taking the suggestion or not, and even if they’re not they send them a letter letting them know that they thought about it, and the reasons for why they decided against it. That part of it is much like the US System of lawmaking, but with less people a more precise decision can be made, and for more agreeable reasons.
I learned all of this from my friend today, who moved to Felice Buono the day after it opened for people to join.
I’m exhausted now, because I was out in the town for a while. I’ve learned the town like the back of my hand, I can navigate to anywhere now. I know most of the people, too. They’re all very welcoming.
Anyways, I’ve got to be up early again tomorrow, but it’s okay. Living here is worth sacrificing a few hours of sleep- the ones that I had when I napped daily because I had nothing better to do.
