Because I passed all my TAKS Tests and scored above average in all of my classes. We get Exempt for that.
*TAKS is a test only here in Texas. It's the Texas Assessment of Knowlwdge and Skills. To us, it's more important than SATs.

Wierd thing we did? I dunno, we stayed at McDonalds drinking cokes(ya'll call them sodas all the time :P ) and milkshakes for about an hour and a half, ans sung "School's out for the Summer." on the bus home.

I got one working for the city of Toronto as a assistant camp counsellor. Out of 560 people and only 80 spots open and 2 selection trials I was picked. I chose to work in a Sports camp teaching kids 10-12 how to play different kinds of sports. Funny thing is I am only really good at basketball. What they don't know wont hurt them. The kids will soon know the true meaning of pain. :P Plus I get cash for doing it. Life is good.

Not to put any one off, you can measure how much better college is than high school.
i personally hate summer i'm a winter person, Hayfever ruins just about everything and the evil sun scorches me for wearing black clothing.
I'll need to get ajob over summer to help fund university, i should worked whilst at college but i'm lazy and value my free time.

And I will be playing video games, of course. My goal is to actually beat my younger brother in Super Smash Brothers Melee by the end of the Summer. :silence:

I wish I could stay at home now but I'll just have to wait.

i know it means "making new friends blahblah", but if you're outgoing or (sadly) weird enough, you'll make friends quickly. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but i'm that type of person who doesn't look back much. If i change schools, well let's just go with it. No use in mourning for the dead, as they say. Meaning, crying/getting sad about it won't help the situation.

I mean...i've seen people as young as 16...but first time i hear about a 15 eyar old senior...so, congrats. Unless, of course, you're from somewhere else where school takes a couple of less years than in the U.S. (ex, Japan, China, and other south american countries). If you're not from the U.S. then I just wasted a precious minute of my life typing this.

Though my last math teacher called me a "Smartalec" (or something so) since I always proved him wrong in his classes. I nearly got introuble because of him. I hated him so much! He was the worst teacher I had in my life. Luckily, I only had him for one year...
Wouldn't want to pour out my problems so yeah...

So... think about that.
I've orientation/maze day/the-day-I-get-my-schedule on the 25th. I'm looking forward to that, I want to know wether or not I got photography as an elective... even though I know it's going to take forever to actually get inside and get the schedule. I can't remember the day I go back to school. It's either the 29th or the 31st.

Very bad news for me, my social studies teacher has stayed. She's the worst teacher ever imaginable. You can get a worse grade than someone that's answered less questions than you correctly. And she doesn't like the way I write the test "swedish", she only says swedish is the way I am.
Some good news, my PE teacher has stayed. He's promised me an A in PE if I only keep on like I've done in the 8th grade.

I changed the title because school is beomcing alot closer for most of you, and has already occered for some, like me, Kewne, and some others.
Well, the I got horrible classes. I'm on my third year os Spanish, and the teacher knows all the students but me, so she goes easy on them. and the rest... just annoying.

There are some sad stories surrounding my school though.
Last year september, a hurricane stuck my country, it damaged my school. Files were lost, and such. Damages came up to about 2 million EC.
Convert it yourself, 1 US = 2.7165EC
Early this year when things were picking up. It had a fire, this fire caused much more damage since it destroyed almost everything the school had. Around 5 million EC.
Later around two months after it had ANOTHER fire, which caused even more damage to the school...
Imagine that, we were in a big big problem. I don't know what's going on there though since we have holidays, when school reopens I'll tell you what's going on.

School shopping.
It is horrible! I think if I could jump in front of a train or do school shopping I'd pick the train.
Surely I shouldn't have to try on my school uniform during the holidays to see if it fits.
As well as that it also reminds me that school is waiting to be forced into my life again. :D
There is only one good thing about this. Once we are done I usually end up going into the game shops! :)
