hehe in the u.s., the terms "college" and "university" are actually interchangable XD there is a level of eduction that's higher than high school, but lower than college/university. it's called "junior college" XD; but when i was in canada, the term "college" is actually used to refer "junior college," while "university" would be for university level XDDD

i think european school system is quite similar to most asian school system. even though i'm indonesian, i went through most of my school years (from junior high @ grade 8 until university) in the u.s. XD; and i think it's quite different than the european, yeah.

yeah, that's understandable XD; the key is slowly and little by little at a time, but PRACTICE EVERYDAY! XD <333

He passed in a car crash.

lol it takes a long time to get into a normal relationship I think? All my past ones I was so obsessive and I had to be with the person all the time @[email protected];; Maybe that's why they didn't work? XD;; It's good to be selfish! In a sense ;D<3.

lmfao I just snorted .___. xD

Wow you lost a lot :O And you're right it's not healthy, but meh, everything is proven to be unhealthy now a days XD! So who cares! Are you happy? That's all that matters :D!

Hmm that sounds really interesting :O Aslong as it doesn't have people sucking blood >.> vampires scare me, seriously, I sleep with the covers around my neck at night D:! But that does sound interesting. Have you ever read Lovely Bones? It's about this girl who was raped and killed and its all in the firs person like the girl is telling the store from heaven, its so well written!

lol I would LOL too xD;; But then I would feel bad for the girl </3

XD Do you commission on Gaia? If its any consolation, my guys look like girls x]

I remembered that I already explained the german Schoolsystem to Anoni in this thread x3 But I can tell a little about it again. We all go together to elementary School, here called "Grundschule" after 4 years we get seperated by our marks. Top marks head over to "Gymnasium" which has nothing to with sports here x3. By the end of gymnasium (9 years) you get the graduation called "Abitur" if it's good, this is your entrance to Universery or FH (a little lower then University) if you are not so good but still good in elementary School then you go to "Realschule", after yout passed that one you get something called "Mittlere Reife" with that you can go to gymnasium if you are good enough and after that to university or you go and apply to learn a job, yes here in germany you first have to lern a job for most of the time an other 3 years.
If your are not good enough for "Realschule" in elementary school then you go to "Hauptschule" that Schooltype is realy basic. After that you can also go and learn a job, but more hand-work jobs. but you can also spend and extra year and get the "mittlere reife" and after that the "Abitur" but not many try to do that.
That is what it's like here most of the times, we also have school that not sepereat you and there are other school that are diffrent like "Waldorfschule" or private Schools.

My education way was or is like that, I went to elementary School and after that to "realschule". I finishd that one quite well, I always where a "B" student, though our marks are not from A-F, they go from 1 to 6. they are also spelled out. Like 1 is very good and 6 ist not enough.
After "Realschule" if went to the Gymnasium. But not to a regular one. I am at a special one. It is specilized on Technology. and we have diffrent Profilesubjects. Like mine is "technology and Management" sound cool huh? it is not as great as if sounds >.>
After I finished that one, and if I am good I can go and study x3

So now you know what School is like in germany most of the time ^^'

Yeah I know that. I feel bad that I have not practiced today ~.~

@ randeh:
aww... ;___; <3 i'm so sorry about that, bebe >3< <333

haha, i think in a sense, i kind of was like that, too. a bit wanting to be with the person all the time, too. and that's probably another reason why i'm too afraid to be in a relationship again ^^; i don't want to be that person because, my goodness, was i annoying! D;

hehe, yes, i'm happy~ XD sucky how what's good for you is generally bad in taste, and vice versa D;! like ice cream... wahhh... all of that sugar and fatness... BUT OMG SO GOOD D;!!!

hahha, i don't know about the sucking up blood. i mean, it's only implied that some of the deaths was because of that ("two puncture wounds" on their necks and all XDDD). awww~ you don't like any vampires stories then? XD i haven't read that book before D;! awww... so sad! does the reader already know she's dead since the beginning of the book? or only in the end did they find out? D;

hehe i commission people on gaia, if that's what you're asking XD; i used to have a shop there, but closed now XD;;


@ kirsch:
ohh haha, so sorry~ XD; i don't pay too much attention to other people's conversations sometimes D;! wahh, that sounds complicated, but it probably isn't XD <3

by the way, does your school make you learn other languages that most west europeans used? like spanish, french, italian, etc.? :O i have a friend in the netherlands, and he knows at least 5 languages XD;;; other than dutch, i mean *3*; i'm so envious of him~ lol

*goes into the bathtub and splashes around*

I missed this place. It was so much fun!

Well it depends on what the School offers. English is as far as I know subject in each School After that there is French, Latin, Spanish and Italian.
Though, some School offer more, but sometimes it's not as a subject it's as a AG if enough people are intrested.
But Most of the time it's English, French and Latin that are subjects.
People from the Natherlands are so Multilangunal, this is awesome. I am so jealous of people speaking a lot of languages x3

Ah wow Kirsch, the German school system sounds so much better than America's. I like how it is separated based on how you do in classes and that you get to specialise in certain subjects earlier on instead of having to wait for university. Is university free there? My mom brought up the idea of me going to a university in Germany while we were there visiting relatives xD; I don't remember whether she told me the universities are free or if they are just a lot cheaper than American ones.

Also, your username means "cherry" in German, right?

Yep Caroline, thats right x2 "Kirsch(e)" is the german word for Cherry <3 I love Cherries *-*

Uhm.. going to university is not for free I think, Though I don't study, but a friend of mine does and so I will ask him.
I asked his girlfriend a minute ago and she said that it is not for free but 100€ per month, thats like 150$
But I am not sure. I will go and figure it out for you Caro ;3
How much do you have to pay in the US, or where you live?

Yupyup we are. :D

Mandatory languages given in the first 4 years of high school are English, Dutch, French and German. If you're doing the highest possible level of education it's English, Dutch, French, German, Latin and Greek I believe. Or maybe Hebrew. I'm not positive.

So practically everyone in Holland speaks Dutch and English, and then either a little bit or fluent French or German. To speak all 4 fluently is rare. Since a person takes to a certain language and focuses on that.

I am currently only fluent in Dutch and English, and understand German but can't speak it. I'm also in the process of learning Norwegian and with hopefully learn Spanish.

Kirsch ||
I was in Germany for a month and I pretty much only learned names of food. XD

Ah, that is still a lot cheaper than the US. I don't actually know how much they costs. >_< I should, considering I'm going to be applying to universities soon. The costs vary depending on what university you go to. I googled it and found this in an article:

Attending a college or university in the United States is very expensive. A year at a prominent four-year university can cost almost $50,000, and this does not include the extra costs of housing, transportation, and other living expenses. There are, of course, less expensive options at colleges that also offer an excellent education. Most four-year colleges cost at least $10,000 per year, and many more are in the $20,000 to $30,000 range.

Some Random Randomness ||
Oh wow, that is a lot of languages! You guys are lucky. I've always loved languages and I wish American schools had more options/allowed you to take more language classes in high school or even earlier on. I think most schools in America offer Spanish and French, maybe Japanese and/or German. Only two years is mandatory (at least in California, not sure about other states but I think it is the same).

>> Random
So you are the one that got mentioned x3

I need to go to Holland again. Was to long ago that I've there. Maybe I get my friends to like the Idea so we go there *haha*

I am only fluent in English. But I am learning french. Though and of course, I speak german fluent *haha*
So you can understand German Random? Thats cool x3
Can you understand this?

Hallo, Ich heiße Kirsch. Ich lebe in Deutschland und bin 16 Jahre alt. Schön dich kennenzulernen ;3

I am in the process of learning Japanese. Maybe Italian after. or Russian.
I never thought about Norwegian. Don't know why x3 One of my friend one tried to learnd the language of Finnland.

I was mentioned? O.o

And you should come to the coast of Holland again. xD
I live like 5-10 minutes from the sea. Which is awesome and great in the summer when you want to do something with friends. :D

And yes I do understand that, or at least everything except the last sentence. Wait. Does the last sentence say "Can you understand this?"

But Holland is fun. And I wanna go to Norway but my mom won't allow me. xD

@Caroline: Har! I pay 1,538 euros for college. Which is the equivalent of about 2000 dollars. HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR! xD

HMPH. xD
1,538 euros for your entire time at college?
Well I... I... I get to see fat people and McDonald's everywhere. >->

For a year. :P

But still, I pay the same amount for four years of college that most people pay for one. Har. Har har.

And I get to see old ladies where I work. xD

@Kirsh: Do you know the Zeeman, or something like that in Germany? xD

That's where I work. :x

>> Caroline
It's 100 € a Month here which is 1,200€ in a year but you still can get Money like BaFÖG here that helps you paying this stuff.
How much does it cost in the US or where you live?

>> Random
The last sentence is more equal to: "Nice to meet you" x3

Zeeman? What is it suposed to be?

Ahh, I see, I see :O Oh, wow~ They still teach Latin there? What country still uses Latin regularly nowadays? *3* I'm curious~ I'm quite jealous of those that can, too hehe. My friend's really cool though *A*; he's so linguistic hungry that he's tackling Mandarin, Thai, and Indonesian, too XDDD; I was so impressed that he could speak some Indonesian to me *3* <3

It's taught at Gymnasium. but less people take it. Though you need to learn it if your are going to become a doctor.
My Cousin took it in School, don't know if she still has it.
But my other Cousin had to learn it as gardner as well, though not much x3

Multilinguistic people are impressive *-*

I'm jealous of people who know Latin too. ;__; I'm a huge English nerd, so I would love to know the language that so many of our words come from. Plus, knowing Latin is like +9345937593 intelligence points.

*chus all her favoritey people <3<3

>> Caroline
Oh forgive me, I realy did not saw x_X' Sorry!
So you where in germany? Thats cool. I which part? I bet you've been to berlin as well didn't you? it's an awesome city, worth a visit I think x3

Woah, american universities are expensive @[email protected] Thanks god I live in germany x3
Yeah, why not come here for studing. Could be a good thing.
What are you going to study? I am not sure If I already asked.

That's okay. ^^
I was in Dusseldorf, I believe; there's another D____dorf city that I'd constantly get it confused with, so I'm not sure if Dusseldorf is the one haha. It was near Koln/Cologne. I actually did not get a chance to visit Berlin. :< I stayed with my aunt, uncle, and cousins and visited sights in the area. I definitely want to go to Berlin someday though.

I'm scared to go to a university outside the US because I don't know anything about them. :O I do really like Germany though. If only I knew the language better... - 3-
I've been planning on studying fashion design for a while, but I'm starting to question that choice as it's getting close to the time I should be applying to universities. I kind of want to do architecture now. I've always found it interesting.

Yeah vampires scare me, I have no idea why, I know they dont exist XDDD.
Hmmm I can't remember, I know you know the whole time that she is dead, but I can't remember if she starts out the book alive or not...I think she might, and then she gets raped and murdered. It's so good though.

;D You should open that shop back up <3. I have lotsa moolah on gaia, not too much on Mene, as the whole world can see @[email protected]!!! hahahaha.

Lols, Rando looks so angry in his sig.
