What's the latest in people's lives?

On June 12, school ends for me and summer break begins. Though I don't intend on coming to school tomorrow (June 12).

Is that a traditional "cut day," or is it just your own personal tradition?

[Duskofdead]

Is commiseration or celebration in order?

You could say both. I'm leaving the job because I never intended to be in it for this long, and am working in a field I never had any intention or ambition of remaining in permanently. But I'm edging on 30 and I feel rather bummed that I am not "already on my chosen career path", and in some ways still at the "starting out" part.

So it's good and bad.

[Mikey]

I feel that way plenty of times myself, and I'm older than you. I've gotten to the point that I just figure that I do what I do for my family, and if it wasn't what I planned, oh well - I'm lucky enough to be able to provide the "extras" for my daughter.

High school where you work? Are you a teacher or something stitch?

Part time substitute. Terrible pay, but gets me enough money for textbooks each simester.

Where are you from, mate?

I finished my finals today and don't think it's worth it to spend 3 hours 10 minutes at school doing nothing. In Alaska, I generally skipped school on the alst day because there wasn't anything to do. I call it somewhat of a personal tradition. Though my younger brother is also not going tomorrow for the same reason.

My English teacher used to see if we're payign attention to the hand outs we were given so she inserted lines from erotic stories randomly through out.

If only they did that here.

At my school we're encouraged not to come in the last day once we reach the high school level, unless we're making up an exam. So here, very few people go to school on the official "last day of school." Thanks to that, my last day is Friday! Today I did incredibly well on my English exam (i think) and bombed my Physics exam (i know). tommorrow its AP US History and German...should be interesting.

Thanks--either should do nicely. History shouldn't be too bad, it's kinda my "thing", my major interest (if you couldn't tell by reading my first official thread in the Politics & Current Events Forum ). German should be fine too..ironically enough, the foreign language exams always seem to be easier. Anyone else have that?

[Reliant121]

My French end of year exam (part of the useless over testing) seemed really hard. But i sailed through and got a C 2 years earlier than i should.

[Sonic Glitch]

Is a C...good?

[Reliant121]

Average GCSE. B is good A is very good A* is excellent and Exceptional performance is amazingly good.

I'm predicted to be at a A at least when i take my GCSE.

[Sonic Glitch]

Ok. So like the American System, C is average, B is decent, A is better A+ is best? Please refresh my memory, GCSE?

[Reliant121]

General Certificate of Secondary education. The basic qualification you leave secondary/high school with. It determines what AS/ A levels you can take.
