  • Ah, my bad. D: You typed so properly that I didn't really notice you were only 15. : P Okay. I'm gonna assume you don't understand what units are then. Well, there's a requirement of having a certain amount of units you need to take in college in order to graduate, and then it gets complicated from there.

    Since the economy is going downhill and public colleges need funding in order to have a lot of classes available, a lot of colleges have to cut back on having a certain amount of classes available which means they can't just have college students taking like ten classes if they think they can handle it. Usually, classes are "worth" about three units which means they usually meet only two times a week. There's only 16 units max a student can take a semester. I only take four classes a semester because one of my classes is Japanese which is "worth" a total of 5 units (because we meet four times a week). The other three classes I was taking (English, Critical Thinking, Liberal Studies for first semester; English, History, Oral Discussion for second semester) are three units each, so that means I'm taking a total of 14 units each semester which sucks because I have 2 units left before I hit the max, but there's hardly any classes that are worth 2 units, so I'm not really getting my full money's worth.

    Whoa. I hope you can understand that better, but if you're still confused, don't feel bad! I still had no idea what college was until my junior year of high school.

    I found a really good study abroad program for Japan for this summer, but we currently don't have the money for it, so I hope to visit next summer. It's really neat. You get to live with a host family and I think get a part-time job just for fun. If you do the study abroad during spring or fall semester, you get to attend a university in Japan during your stay.

    Yeah, but it's kind of hard because not many people around me don't know how to speak English. XD; I'm mainly focused on teaching literature though. Teaching language is a separate program.
    I took four classes for each semester. There's a cap of 16 units, so the most I could take is four since all of my classes were three units each (except my Japanese class that was five units since we meet on all four days). It's kind of frustrating that I can't take another class though just because there's a cap. It's hard to graduate in four years nowadays because of all the budget cuts, but I'm not complaining too much because I have priority registration which is very convenient. I know a lot of freshmen who had to take classes they didn't even want or need because all of the other classes were full.

    I'm probably going to take four classes again next year because my Japanese classes are going to be five units again. Luckily, next year will be the last year, so I will be able to take five classes the following year.

    Yeah, and because people use it often, they don't remember the proper way to type or write. It hurts to see so many typos and improper grammar because I'm an English major and a future English teacher. : P

    Oh really? Well, your friend is rather talented then!
    I haven't talked to you in ages D: okay. Not ages. But whatever xD
    I'm assuming you're busy raising your grades?
    Unfortunately I didn't win pingpong v.v I lost. By a lot. But my team came second anyways so it's okay :3
    Me and Emma miss you!!! :P
    anyways. Yeah. How are you? :3
    Um, well, I'm not very good at explaining, unfortunately, so you might want to look that up.

    Also, I find it a bit awkward to go randomly talk to people. :c And I've been a bit busy with work.
    finnnne. Antje; pronounced like "Aunt-yeh". it's grossicles =(
    it used to be pretty dangerous living here... in the 1990s there was a lot of fighting between blacks && whites; a lot of white families were attacked because older generations mistreated the other races in South Africa. things are still kind of tense in the east side of the country, but in the west, where i live, whites, blacks, coloureds, && asians all live alongside one another peacefully.
    i'm not snobby at all; i hate elitist people. i'm kind of annoying though =)
    i'm doing a double major in Business Management && Political Science. I'm excited =))

    My first exam is on Monday, i'm freaking out =PPP. when do your tests start??
    Okay, fiiine...*throws spork away*

    I know, I know. But at least it's getting better. xD

    No...I have a gmail. But I'll try to make and MSN if you want. ^^
    But they don't think I look evil.

    Awesome~! :D I need to listen to more of their songs. The only one I have heard is Fireflies.

    Binary Peaches are not for eating. D: I can give you a real peach, tho.
    It was/is great! But I have to admit that I found it a little boring during the first semester because my classes were a little too easy for me. But I finally got my wish of getting challenging classes this semester! Your senior year of high school usually goes by the fastest because you have a lot going on (trying to figure out what college you want to go to, studying for exams for the many AP classes you regret taking, etc.), but it does go by a lot faster in college because you usually only have a certain class twice a week, so showing up is crucial.

    I suppose so, haha. But somehow I feel a little awkward talking to people through VMs. It feels so personal as opposed to just posting whatever on a certain thread topic. Don't mind me, I'm just a little strange. And thank you for the compliment! It's a pleasure to talk to you as well since you use complete sentences and such. Some of my friends find me strange for typing in complete sentences on instant messengers, but I can't help it. It's weird, but I type faster when I type every word out completely rather than use "text typing."

    You're welcome. Your friend must be a great artist or at least great with graphics, but the way you arranged your signature, you should give yourself credit for that too because it looks great.
    We actually had an ice skating rink set up in town... that I never got around to going to. :(
    How can you not know about the epic awesomeness of HASEO?? D:

    I just can't resist it, you know. Just you see, I'll be after another emblem pretty soon. xD;
