Yeah if I do that I will go for a degree in it. But that would cost me loads of money. I am hard strapped for money right now with petrol being so high that University would leave me mile in debt and I would like to avoid that if I can.

I am awful at chemistry. I never did to good at science. I failed everything but physics. Well I failed most things first time because I procrastinated waaaaaaaay to much and left all my revision to last minute. Redid them all recently and got high marks in everything. But still managed to fail science. xD

Computer engineering is prooobably one of those things you'd need a degree for. :P I was going to go into it over Computer Science but it turned out I needed both physics AND chemistry and I only had room in my high school schedule to take one so I didn't get to go into it. ;;

Yeah I thought about doing that too, but Physics and Chem didn't exactly interest me very much.
 
I was better at chemistry than physics back when it was all one subject (and I liked it way more, too). But then they split them up into physics, chem and bio and I could only pick one because of a restricted schedule. Since I needed physics for some of the universities' Computer Science programs and I only needed chem for engineering, I had to go with physics. ;_;
 
I loved it when it was one subject. I don't to physics right now as the school I am at doesn't offer any science once you get to choose your subject as no one picked it and as I would have to cluster to a different school I couldn't take it with the other subjects I was doing. I have to wait till next year to start physics again.
 
Nope. As soon as I hit 17 they didn't offer science any more. They offer it up to that age but after that you either have to cluster or swap school, as I didn't want to leave all my friends behind I decided to stay at my school for the time being.
 
Clustering is where you will go to another school to do a lesson then go back to the school your in after the lesson. Confusing if you don't live in the UK. xD
 
I've never heard it called clustering before, but that sounds like something which happened at my school.

In my 3rd year at high school, a new school was built which effectively cut down the student size(which was around 3000). However, the newly built school had more Arts courses while not so many in terms of Computer and Technology courses. Therefore, students at one school who wished to take these courses at the other were bused from class to class every day of the term. XD

And speaking of Computers....my ComSci exam is in 34 minutes and counting. Wish me luck, people! :D

Wow, really? XD; I still stand by the idea that that seems kind of ridiculous. :( But I guess so long as they aren't too far away... I mean, otherwise you'd just be missing too much class time because of the commute. o_o;;

Good luck! Let us know how it went when you're done. ♥
 
I know something even more ridiculous. The school system where I lived just swapped from going to 3 schools to only having a primary and secondary school. When it swapped there wasn't enough space in any secondary school so they used what used to be the middle schools to look after the other children. This meant that teachers where having to swap between 2 schools during lessons and we missed out on lessons sometimes due to a teacher not being on are site but at the other one.
 
We have 6 high schools in my city: 3 Public, 2 Catholic, and 1 French. The 2nd Catholic is the new one that was built that I mentioned in my last post. As for the 3 Public ones, they used to be all 9-12. However, they've recently changed them so that one is 11-12, and the other two are 8-10, XD. Though the only time I've seen teachers go from school to school is with two of the schools(one Catholic, one Public), which were actually next door to each other. ^^
 
Whaaaat. They made TEACHERS commute between schools? XD; That's crazy. I don't get iiiiit.

oo; Just how close were these schools? Because we only had 5 minutes between classes in high school and even less in elementary school... so I don't see how you could feasibly commute back and forth without losing a lot of class time.
 
At my school we don't even have a 5 minute gap between classes. The bell rings to say end of one lesson and start of the next one. Your expected to warp across site to your next lesson. xD

The schools where like 5 minute drive apart. It was completely impracticable.
 
Oh... see, here the nearest high school in the same school board (it was the Catholic school board) was a good 15-20 minutes away. XD;

But wow, no travel time? o_O; We used to think the 5 minutes wasn't enough but wow.
 
My school is really messed up. I go to the worst school in my area. xD. It starting to pick up now the. Me as a prefect sure helps. I give out so many detentions to students I am beginning to think they hate me people hate me.
