My life is great.
I'm sorta 50/50 on going back to school. I mean, it's nice to just sit here in my room, but then again, I need to get off my butt and start doing other crap. School will definitely keep me occupied. I'll have to be more conscious of the other kids, though. I honestly want to avoid drama as much as I can. People kept on bugging me about shit that I didn't know last month, so I deleted most of my email contacts.
So yeah. School. First year of middle school.
Fuuuun.

Next year will be my senior year in high school and I plan to just breeze through it easily. My electives are Digital Imaging, Ceramics/Sculpture, Public Speaking/Creative Writing, and Calculus. I'm required to take English and Government/Economics too. All of those classes seem easy since they aren't sciences. I suck at sciences.
Life's a Happy Song when there's someone by your side to sing along!

I'm going into my fourth (and final) year of psychology on my current course. Going to have a big project to do on Peer pressure...along with other minor things.

I always thought psychology would be cool to study at least once. How is it?

Cool to study...but with difficult areas.
Many things that shock and awe you, specially if you take some of it to heart.
But then you hit neuropsychology and the science is thick and heavy.
SO glad it's not a module this year.

I bet psychology is really interesting. It's what I originally applied for at uni but I had a last minute change of mind! I think all the research methods stuff, and stats work would have made me regret it...Loved it at A-Level though :) What are you going to do when you're finished?

Go back and do more.
An Honours Degree in psychology isn't worth anything.

At the moment, I am taking 18 units:
Chem 121 (General Chemistry I - 4 units)
English 101 (Composition I - 3 units) - Honestly I am better than this and should be in Eng 102 - Comp II or Eng 104
Philosophy 202 (Intro Philosophy of Arts - 3 units)
Psychology 101 (General Psychology - 3 units)
Sci 101 (Advisory Class for my major - 1 unit)
Math 182 (Calculus II - 4 units)
Passing these classes are not a problem whatsoever; for me it is holding a 4.0 GPA. That is what I am trying to think about. I already have 10 units in just from AP tests (AP Calc AB and US History). I need to find out about IB though. Then again, if it is true, those AP/IB tests won't matter in going to med school.

Undergraduate courses you can apply to have your tuition fees paid for.

That said some people still come here for our schools from England and the likes.

The tax and location thing reminds me of the paying in-state vs out of state tuition here in the US :(. Pay 3x as high out of state or stay within your home state.

*shrugs* It might not even be paid in tax I'm not sure on that and the benefits for people in this country encourages people to stay and provide jobs for the country I guess.

Aww, don't worry filipinoamerican, you're going into grade 6, right? Middle school can be hard but these kids are just going through a phase. Hopefully for most of them it won't last long and remember not to take all the drama too seriously. When you look back after a few years you'll realize how pointless it really is. So just keep your head held high and try not to let it affect you.

Boy oh boy is this true. Man, I was a total nerd in sixth grade. But no one remembers middle school once you reach ninth grade. So don't worry, it'll all be forgotten soon enough :3

I really do hope that it'll go away. It's just that 5th grade was so dramatic and crap and it made me think about how the other kids I haven't seen in forever were like, because apparently they all hate me and my buddies for going to a "nerdy school" for 4th and 5th. :/

Sounds about right, finished high school at age 18. Started 12th grade at 17.
Quick rundown.
Elementary: Kindergarden then Grades 1-5
Middle/Junior High: Grades 6-8
High: Grades 9-12
Years after that are your college years; usually you are expected to obtain your bachelors within 3-4 years.
On another note, filipinoamerican (speaking of which, I'm Filipino myself lol, but can't speak Tagalog), just don't worry too much about what others think. It'll make middle and high school that more enjoyable. From the sounds of it, do you are what doing right now in your academics and you'll be fine. I personally found elementary through high school pointless, but still enjoyed them.

Where does all the Freshman, Sophomore etc stuff come from? Is that in reference to college/uni years? Do Americans always call university college, by the way? It's confused me because as far as I'm aware the institutions call themselves universities, so where does college come from? Oh the confusion!

Sounds about right, finished high school at age 18. Started 12th grade at 17.
Quick rundown.
Elementary: Kindergarden then Grades 1-5
Middle/Junior High: Grades 6-8
High: Grades 9-12
Years after that are your college years; usually you are expected to obtain your bachelors within 3-4 years.
On another note, filipinoamerican (speaking of which, I'm Filipino myself lol, but can't speak Tagalog), just don't worry too much about what others think. It'll make middle and high school that more enjoyable. From the sounds of it, do you are what doing right now in your academics and you'll be fine. I personally found elementary through high school pointless, but still enjoyed them.
Where does all the Freshman, Sophomore etc stuff come from? Is that in reference to college/uni years? Do Americans always call university college, by the way? It's confused me because as far as I'm aware the institutions call themselves universities, so where does college come from? Oh the confusion!
Freshman, sophomore, I honestly don't know where it came from but it refers to your "year." You begin to learn it during high school. So I finished my senior year in high school and now a freshman in university.
Freshman - 9th grade high school or 1st year uni
Sophomore - 10th grade high school or 2nd year uni
Junior - 11th grade high school or 3rd year uni
Senior - 12th grade high school or 4th year uni
Yes, most higher institutions refer themselves as universities, colleges are the smaller subsections within universities (not all the time necessarily, e.g. community college), they tend to focus a specific attribute of research and eduction. For example, I am in the college of science studying neuroscience within the University of Nevada, Reno. So, think of small box within a bigger box. University is more broadly used and colleges tend to be more specific depending on what area.
Yeah, it is somewhat convoluted what I am saying, but I don't have time to proofread as I have to go right now with my family xD.

I see. That does make sense. It really is rather similar to here in that sense then, because we have different colleges (depends on the uni), but I guess the difference is we still say uni all the time. Clears stuff up anyway, thanks.
