fankya for the thiingy on bebo =] lol it was very nice :D ahh the polka dots are hypnotising me :P. hehe its funneh..anyhoo later xx
sorry i made a mistake its:
freshman, sophomore, junior and senior.
i mixed up sophomore and junior =P
oh, hello priya =]. i know someone named priyanka. i dont call it diwali, i call it tihhar, but its the same thing. i wish we still did holi here =[ you cant really cuz there are other people who would probably yell at you if they saw you throw colored powder at someone.
oh, thats the slang then? tube?
haha, i'll google it. i really will. i'll also ask my orchestra teacher.
thanks, good luck on your gceses. all of ours are toward the end of the year, too. but there are so many, that we have to start freaking out about it now. yea, our exams can be complicated. but after having kinda the same thing since elementary school, its pretty ok.
ohh, i get comprehensive now. grammar sounds weird. i know what private school is, they have them here, too. but its for the people with alot of money $$...sorry, my keyboard cant make a pound sign =P.
haha, yea, k so after middle school/ jr. high. (which is 6,7, and 8th grades) you have high school (which is 9,10,11, and 12), instead of saying they're in the twelveth grade or something, they could just say that they're a Senior. so first comes Freshman, Junior, Sophomore, and finally Senior. you also use this for college/university.
how was school???
WOW!!
Ok prepare for a long comment aha =]
No my name isn't really just PP - it's actually Priya. My friend decided to call me PP and I kindah use that as my name now. It's shorter. And easier to pronounce for some ppl =] Even tho I'm a Jain we kindah follow Hinduism too - it's complicated. SO yeah looking fwd to Diwali and Holi and stuff =].
Aha a tube is like the subway. Underground trains. =]
And a ocarina is like a round thing thats like 2 shells making a roundy type thing lol that -plays like a flue :D google it :P I can't really exaplin it very well/ but it's like the easiest instrument to play!! EVER!
Good luck in all your exams!! WOW you have a lot.
Basically I'm in year 10 and so next year in year 11 I'll be sitting my GCSES which I mentioned. So this year I have no major exams except for the internal ones that will decide which foundation I do for my GCSES. But they are towards the end of the year so I'm not freaking about them yet - just my coursework. Which is like pieces of work(essays, writings) that are graded and count with ur end exam grade to give u ur overall total. ur exams seem quite complicated!!
A comprehensive skewl is like a normal skewl and everyone can attend regardless of who they are. A grammer skewl is like where you have 2 pass an exam and be really clever basically to attend (and u can get in thru scolarships and stuff). and a private skewl is where you pay lots of money to have ur kid educated in a smaller skewl with less pupils learning more detailed stuff and its basically thort 2 b more better for education.
Lol I guess the whole drivin thing is the same about England. CONGESTION!!
So whats all this stuff about Freshman, Seniors, Sophmores and stuff? It's pretty weird..Lol
And lol thanks for the bebo invite - I'm on it every day the freak I am =]
I get what you mean about the music stuff. Its the same for me - i seem to like every song with a beat and something to make me sit up and notice.
Anyway if i missed anything out please tell me!! Oh no school 2mo :O:(
EXAMS!!!
i have seven huge ones all in one year!!
-SHSAT (specialized high school admissions test)
sorry, but this one will take too long to explain.
-ELA (english language arts) State Exams
-Math State Exams
-Science State Exams
-Social Studies State Exams
-Science Regents
-Foreign Language Regents
regents is basically an exam, just a different name. every year we only have the math and ela state exams. they're graded from a 1-4. 1 being terrible and 4 perfect. any lower than a 3 you wont be in honors class next year. any lower than a 2 you wont pass the grade. only students in honors class take the Regents test. at least i dont have to take the math regents. in seventh grade, your seperated into three different math classes. Math A (9th grade lvl math taken in 7th and 8th grade) Math A 2 (same as the other one but for people who are a little slower). and regular grade math (my class, im not a numbers person). only people in math a take the the math regents. i will eventually take it, but in 9th grade.
how do they expect us to do all of this along with regular school work?! btw, all of it is counted toward your grade so if you fail any of it, you dont go to high school.
whats a comprehensive school?
we dont have a social class, i think everyone would hate it if we did though. unless you count social studies. but thats mostly just history but eventually we'll get to the present and soon enough the future. we study religon and stuff in that class. oh, i thought you guys learned just one religion there. my cousins live in switzerland and they have to learn about christianity and the bible and stuff. its mandatory. im hindu. unlike other hindu's im not CRAZY religious. i know the basics of it and i know what im doing when i got to the temple. but thats pretty much it. and of course we celebrate the holidays which i love =]
most high schools have drivers ed. but of course you have to pay for them. but driving isnt a huge thing here in new york. its hard to find parking, always traffic and gases prices are reallllyy high lately. plus you can get to basically every where through public transportation.
about the school day thing...hmmm, its different everywhere. we have 8hours of school, 8 periods, 45 min. per period. i have lunch fifth period. some places have different schedules, one where you start school earlier and leave earlier. with also an option of starting later and leaving later. thats pretty much it. then of course after school activities, if any.
lol, my name is shrima =] pronunciation: SHREE-MA
is your name really just PP?
umm, if your talking about classes, then yes. lets see if i can explain this right... there is usually a top class/honors class/SP class. all means the same thing. the people who are in it are the ones that did well in the previous year. your basically in the same classes as them (english, math..) unless your in a more advanced on e or a less advanced one. the class are usually labeled by numbers, mine being 811. its differnt in every school. and this is just jr. high/middle school. im in the 8th grade.
hmm, i like: HONEY NUT CHEERIOS, KIX, FROSTED FLAKES, SPECIAL K, TRIX, COCOA PEBBLES, LUCKY CHARMS, EGGO WAFFLE CEREAL...thsoe are just my favorites, but i'll eat just about anything.
people always ask me the genre of what i like, books, movies, music. its difficult for me cuz i like everything. for example, certain rap songs, pop, hip hop, r & b, rock, country and even classical. what attracts me is good meaningful words, up beat rhythm, and a smooth flow.
first day back was fine. i only and math and english though. but i found out something terrible which i will talk to you about in next comment.
wow, what is an ocarnia? i play a violin, im not perfect and its definitely not my favorite.
what the hell is a tube?? you say mates =]
facebook is most common around high school and college. anywhere lower is mostly myspace. yea, i have a hi5, too. not too common here unless your south asian, as am i. but its considered stupid around these parts. i'll add you on bebo, but i would like to remind you that i havent been on it in months and i dont really plan to, too much going on. =[ stupid school.
yes, it helped =]
Lol btw no I don't got to a private school - I go to a comprehensive one. It's called The Heathland School and if you google UK it I'm sure u'd find it. Uh lol cross ciricular studies! It's like learning about uhh your body, drugs & alcohol, politics - just things about the everyday word. Social stuff really. And community things. I can't believe what you said about the Relgious Ed. thing! Seriously it's like a main subject in our school and when we sit our GCSES (there like these BIG exams you take when your in Year 11 in your chosen subjects..its kindah confuzzling) in our school and some others its compulsory to take it. And most other schools make it an option. But I guess some schools even in England might not allow it but I've never heard of that. in RE (the shortend term) we learn about whats considered to be the 5 main religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism and Sikhism. I follow a religion called Jainism which you probably have never heard of! - What about you ..are you relgious at all?
Other questions along with any above ^^ and the ones you asked me to anwser which i did in the comment below me!
- Do you have Driver Ed in high school? (Again.. I read it:P)
- How is a basic school day divided?
- What's your name. Lol soz I'm stupid enuff to have not to asked!
- In most American schoool movies the school is seperated into Labelled groups / clubs - is that true!
- What kindah breakfast cereals do you eat :D
- What type of Music are you into?
- Lol uh I'm still thinking..I'll get bak 2 you as soon as poss with some more questions! :)
I go back to school on thurs - I'm not looking forward too it lol.
How was your first day back?
Hey!
Wow lets see if I can answer these questions =] - Lol and btw 2 questions - no way, I have tonnes more :P just getting you prepared uhm :) If ya can - answer the questions I'm replying too. Just so I can see what differances there are. It'd be gr8 if ya coould do tht :)
-do stuff get released earlier in england than they do here?
Mostly no. Unless they are made in England. E.g. British music artists. But stuff like Harry Potter, even tho it is British gets released in America first. Which is quite a bummer (but it gets here eventually!)
-do you play an instrument?
Uh not really. I kindah gave up playing one - I like listening to music, but I'm not really into playing music. What about you. When I was in primary school (that's like elementry to you) I played a Ocarina. But no one knows what that is lol!
-how do most people there get to school
Depends where you live. We don't have school buses to pick you up so either we go by car, walking, bus or even tube. My school is pretty central in my area so people either bus it, go by car or walk. I walk with my two mates as it only takes 10-15 minutes max to get there.
-what is that nearby store that everyone knows of and goes to. (like a store to get basically everything, except maybe grocery's) here we have target and walgreens (many others but those are probably the most common).
Hm well in our area it'd be Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Somerfield and Aldi. But it other places in England theres others like Morrisons, and stuff. But I'd say Tesco and Asda are the ones most people know about.
what clothing stores do you shop at?
Oh my I have loads! Ok the main ones are Primark (god I love that shop - everything is so cheap! lol :P) uh New Look, Topshop, Debahnams, Atlantic, River Island and Natural Valley. But I also shop around a lot in other stores.
you have a bebo?! my freind made me make one. but i dont go on it. is that what they use there? here we use myspace and facebook mostly.
Lol yeah I have bebo :) Add me :D. I use it a loooooooooooot. But yeah people here use Facebook nd Myspace alot and also this other one called Hi5. I just like Bebo alot :D. But it kindah depends on the person you are and stuff. But uh Facebook really starting to become common here.
So i hoped that kindah helped!
