High school.

 

I'm at school now! It's (censored) booring.

We got the day off

 

Same here. That's not a positive thing, though. My class have got Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of because the rest of tenth grade is having their oral exam. I would much rather do that now than next week.

It's a bit hard to say, as the british has a school-system that is required until you're 17 years old. The brits usually start at Universities as 18 year olds.

 

*edit*

 

of course, that again is scrambled if you look at the Americans...

 

*edit*

 

I guess High School is the most fitting, even if American High Schools are from 14/15 to 17/18.

Yeah, i have only 1 year aproximatly before i start at ***** (hva er vgs på Engelsk?)

 

I just came back from a year of studying in Cambridge and my tutor told me that VGS is approximately the same as Sixth Form in GB. In the US there is another educational system and I think it is High School there.

[Slimda]

American Schools.

British Schools.

 

Read and learn.

I love Shakespearian english

 

Deny thy father, refuse thy name, or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I will no longer be a Capulet.

- Extract from the play "Romeo & Juliet"

 

<3<3<3

 

Edit: I was referring to this:

Using Shakespearian english is silly. Everybody knows that Shakespear's works were written by monkies.

Ohh crap, I just found out I got maths oral exam next friday, it's fuckin' rubbish!

[Skjelvgråt]

That sucks. We have summer hollidays from next friday!

[Fløyelsbøtte]

In my school, we are told whether we are having oral exams or not, tomorrow. I can't stop thinking about it! I know it is only 20% who gets picked, but still. I know my luck.

Time to revive this thread, what should we talk abooooout?

What trigger your decisions to invest in new hardware? I mean major upgrades like new motherboard in particular. How long do you run on insufficient resources before you do a major upgrade?

When I get my salary next month I am totally purchasing a gaming computer. It's going to be so rad. Playing Crysis on a 32 inch monitor.

 

Say, what are you guys doing in the summer holidays?

[Allighiero]

Say, what are you guys doing in the summer holidays?

 

Work, work, work, some more work, and maybe Creamfields if I can afford it.

[Molotovcocktail]

I'm also gonna set up a gaming-beast this summer (the components have been lurking in the attic for quite some time now), but after that I'm just gonna sell it. Haven't got time for gaming anymore, and in august I'll be moving to Buskerud, so got no use for it whatsoever. Instead I'll be purchasing a shiny new Macbook, and for that I need "bees and honey".

[michael691]

Can't wait for summer, I'm sick of school

[Skjelvgråt]

Second that. Luckily we have our summer hollidays from next friday!

I've been running on a Socket A motherboard for years. Sure, I feel like getting something newer now and then, but I figure I don't really need to.

 

My main summer activity will be playing Minesweeper. When I'm tired of that I'll read through the twenty new books I've purchased or found in the attic. Sometimes, the thought "I should get a life" crosses my mind, but I just shake it off.

Good old AMD socket A... Actually that was my previous motherboard, still occasionally used for experiments (Linux, fileserver, file storage etc). Equipped the versatile AMD Duron, it was more then enough running any apps aveilable in 2003, but of course, slowly becoming insufficient as the resource demands from apps, os, games, internet and video increase for every year.

 

Most important is that it seems that the graphic card needs to be upgraded at least twice the rate of the motherboard/processor.

[Bear^]

A life? Hm, books and game seems to be my life for now, and writing of course, what else is there to consider? Of course it would be more beneficial to walk the streets and getting drunk now and then but for some reason that doesn't appeal to me at all
