That sounds really complicated for me @~@''
Ahh.. I see :3 btw, Why don't you take a break? Because you don't want to waste time?
Well.. my brother is 23 now and goes to university.. and a few years ago all students had to go to school for 13 years to take their final exams.. now it's the case that all students only have 12 years to learn all the things the others had to learn in 13 years.. it's because the E-Phase (actually 11th grade), the period that's like a preperation for Abitur (like CAE I think..or smth. like that) is missing.. and we have to learn all the things of that one year in the 9th grade.. so we're in huge stress because there is less time for more material.. ^^°
u___u

Ahh, I think I get it a little. But don't you have exams during the year?
And it really sucks about that extra stuff you need to learn O.o But I'm sure you can do it if you want it.
I'm not going to take a break because I want to be able to finish school as soon as possible, so I can move in with my boyfriend.

Of course we have exams during the year.. twice per half-a-year in every subject o.o And.. yeah it really sucks to have less time ...but I'll handle it somehow.. :3

Why can't they just use the same system for school everywhere? xD We have exams during the year, always the same. We don't have a 'final exam' for wich we had to go to school for 13 years or whatever O.o
I want to be a teacher (preschool) for kids with a disability.
Do you already know what you want to study?

Really? Our Abitur is like the BAC in France :3
And I think like the CAE in Great Britain.. o.o
It's ... well like an upper secondary graduation.. I think.. at least Google Translator translated it that way xD
A preschool teacher? :0
Ohhh.. I made an internship at a kindergarden, I think that's the same.. I had to look after kids that are mentally... well I know that the word retarded sounds a bit evil.. but it's the only word that would describe it properly u.u I mean, the kids cannot help it.. it's not their fault.. But we have the responsibility to teach them all the essential things step by step :3 And to train with them to help them with their missing feeling of coordination.. that makes me a little proud~
I wanted to study music ^-^

I have no idea about any of those acronyms.
Here it's kindergarten stars when you're about 5 or 6 years old. You finish primary school at year six, so years one to six, about 7 or 8 years old. High School (we don't have middle school) goes from year 7 to year 12, so until you're about 18 or 19 years old. From there you have the option to do Technical and Further Education (tertiary education) for certificates and diplomas. You could also choose to go to university with most degrees taking about 3 or 4 years often with one year of internship under a professional.
I managed to get into university but because of personal reasons I've been cut back to one unit per trimester, so three units a year instead of 4 per trimester.

That's mostly how it's in Germany too :3

I guess... I wanted to do it full time but apparantly they're too concerned for my health to allow that so I might have to do a part time certificate as well...
It just means my university degree will take 4x longer so instead of four years it'll take 16 years at this rate @_@

Hibari:
Working with kids like that always gives you a lot of satisfaction ^.^
And do you play any instruments then?
Cremuex Levier:
It's so different around the world. Here in Belgium school starts from an age of 2 and a half ( It's called 'summerclas'). Only university seems to be about the same everywhere.
And what are you studying? And why would it be so bad for your health? O.o
