School Chit Chat

[Drifblim]

Man. School. I wish I still went to school.

Seeing as you're sixteen (according to your profile), why aren't you still in?

Because he's probably not American and lives in a country where people leave school at a younger age, like 16.

 

[22sa]

... But what country could THAT be? o_o

 

[Dawson]

The United Kingdom, for one. Over here you leave high school at 16.

 

[22sa]

Omg, I love the United Kingdom. ;_; If only I grew up in the UK. =x

Though I wouldn't like living so close to Europe.

 

[Dawson]

If you lived in the UK, you'd actually be in Europe..XD

Finishing early is nice, but you pay for that with quite a crappy education.

I know, I mean mainland Europe... the Euro... ugh. x_x I hate the Euro. =x I hope UK never adopts it.

 

[Dawson]

Nah, I can't see that happening. The only way the UK will adopt the Euro is if the US does too. America does..England follows.

 

[22sa]

America wouldn't even share their currency with Canada, no way they'd do it with Europe, lol. :P Yeah, I'm proud of UK then.

 

[Emma]

Yesh, the UK rules <333 XD Well, except from Chavs (anyone that doesn't live in the UK probably doesn't know what a chav is XD I'm not even going into details)

School? School is awesome at the moment, I hang out in a group of... quite a lot of people which started out as only 4 of us XD I was one of the four. ANYWAY.

We basically do everything from making flamethrowers (Deoderant + Lighter = Flamethrower =]) Doing the limbo and singing the Pokemon theme tune down the phone to some random people XD

The only downside of school is the homework and annoying teachers.

My most embarrasing moment in school was probably when something was in my hair (I'm very fussy how my hair looks) and everyone was looking at me oddly. All day I wondered why and when I finally got home I looked at the mirror, and there was some massive stick or something sticking out of my hair XDD I must've been walking all day like that and I didn't even notice.

Gawsh I'm crazy XD

 

[Miyu-chan]

I remember this thread! =D

Aaahh... school. x.x; Whoever said that senior year was the easiest year in high school LIED. All my classes are hella hard (save for choir), and plus college applications.... just plain stressful.

Can't wait for college though - I heard that it's better than high school. xD

 

[22sa]

For us engineers, it's really too much work sometimes though. I can't imagine how medicine students can study for 16 hours a day and have no social life. Such motivation/energy is still alien to me...

Art students here have like half as much as work us engineers. Meh.

 

[Miyu-chan]

Oooh, you're in engineering? :O That's what my brother wants to do in college. =D

And according to my relatives, the medical field = money. Maybe that's the motivation? xD

 

[22sa]

It could be.. but I can't imagine how such a motive can be strong enough to endure such long hours of studying. I'm lazy too, so maybe I just can't understand their ambition. ._.

In Canada, the STARTING wage of Engineers is about $40 000. For doctors, it's $120 000. So yeah, it's true there's really big money in it.

And yeah, I'm in Environmental Engineering. XD

Nice guess. But totally off. I'm living in China and home-schooled right now.

The people here do leave school early though. Mostly gangsters, or people who like to party. At about my age, they leave school and play computer games all day.

Man...

Man...

I remember you were in Shanghai.... but these dropouts, do you really have such acquaintances? How do they survive if they play computer games all day? o_o I mean, don't tell me their parents just let them...

 

[pokejungle]

My friends in Japan are study-aholics. ;<

I can imagine they don't have much of a choice in Japan. Poor lonely Japanese. =D

 

[pokejungle]

Yes, but it's ok. They still find time for me, occasionally. I just hate test weeks. Then EVERYONE is busy, except for me. That sucks.

I don't actually have to do anything in school. Hehehe.

Yeah, you can't compare to them. It must be really fun for you. What do you do when they don't have time for you? XD
