[Jake]

I have a tennis tournement coming up soon!!:D

[[deleted user]]

Good Luck for you tooo!!!!!!!!!(Sorry but you get one less exclamation point than Bookworm)

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

haha! ;)

jk jk

Are you good at tennis?

[Jake]

yea :)

[Leonie, The European One]

omg I´ll have an english oral exam tomorrow!!

[Leonie, The European One]

i can´t do it....

[Halley, The Giggly One]

Why not?

[[deleted user]]

...*sigh* Good Luck!!! However, I have my science TAKS tomorrow, my social studies TAKS on Friday, and then i have my spanish and math finals in like two or three weeks from now. Then, i have a huge Genocide project due in like a couple weeks and i have done just about nothing. Do i deserve luck??? (LOL!!!!) :'D <-*laughing so hard he tears a little*

[Halley, The Giggly One]

I'm done with English testing And I'm not really worried about testing.

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

No, you do not deserve luck. ;) jk

What are TAKS?

[Kelsey]

Yeah what are TAKS??? Good luck, by the way.... :)

[Leonie, The European One]

omg, I had english oral exam today and I.............what do you think??........had to do my "2-minutes-talk" about BRITISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!! this topic is simply unfair, many of the others were supposed to talk abour "robots", or "mobbing" or staff like that in english.. but NOT about "BRITISH SCHOOL SYSTEM"!!!!

[Kelsey]

Not British school systems! That's just cruel. :)

[[deleted user]]

TAKS is a really dumb standard test to make sure we actually learned something and deserve to move on to the next grade. Anyways, I feel really confident about the Science TAKS i'm just worried about the Social Studies TAKS tomorrow. S.S. is my worst topic. I may make 90's but that doesn't mean any of the stuff actually sank in!!! I'm freaking out, but really hope i ace it. *fingers crossed*

[Halley, The Giggly One]

We just call it TESTING.

[Jake]

we call ours the EOIS

[Leonie, The European One]

yes, that´s more then cruel!!!

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

I call it SATs

[Leonie, The European One]

We don´t have it, but we have regular tests (schulaufgaben), which are announced and we have shorter tests (extemporalen) and here the teacher needn´t say, when he´ll write this...

[Kelsey]

We used to have PACT in middle and elementary school, but in high school we just have finals or exams.

[Leonie, The European One]

ooh, by the way, i know everything about your school system, because I had to learn it, also for the oral exam in my english lessons :D After middle school, you could go to a Junior highschool and then to a senior high school or you could go to a Combined-Junior-Senior highschool... :D But if you don´t want to do it you can go to a 4-years-highschool, right? :D

[[deleted user]]

No!!!! SATs are in highschool. These are not that important, but today i took and i feel confident. I am so glad that all my TAKS are of though. So, no all i have left are my two finals. Whoopdy Doo!!!*sarcastic*

[Halley, The Giggly One]

yep, your right!

[Halley, The Giggly One]

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!
The Swine flu is in Utah!!!!!
Help!

[Kelsey]

Oh no!

[[deleted user]]

There is rumor going around that one of my REALLY good friends has it. I'm kind of freaked out. I hope she doesn't.

[Leonie, The European One]

YEEESSS, I know the American school system :D

hmm, I think this thing with the swine flu is very sad, because it´s already in Germany and here a nurse, who cared for a patient who came from Mexico and had the swine flu was infected...

by the way: why do you say swine flu and not pig flu?

[Halley, The Giggly One]

Swine means pig... my mom calls it piggy flu.

[Leonie, The European One]

ahh okay, nice word, because in german it means "schwein", so very similar to "swine"

[Kelsey]

oh....

[[deleted user]]

I know the two words for dirty pigs "saumensch"(something like that) and "saukerl"(something like that.) I hope those aren't like curse words to you, but i am reading a book and they have that word in there and also another but it is too bad.

[Jake]

Tennis tournement in 1 week!

[Kelsey]

You read The Book Thief didn't you?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah!!! It is really good. I haven't finished it yet.

[Leonie, The European One]

saukerl?? - this means, that you´re a very tough person..
saumensch?? - I have never used it so far... It means that you´re a stupid person..
:D why do they speak german in english books?

[Kelsey]

I finished it like a week ago. It's really good, but sad.

[Leonie, The European One]

what´s the plot?

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

I don't wanna get the spine flu!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

*swine

[Leonie, The European One]

mee, tooo

[Kat, The Math Nerd]

My recital went well!
Mrs. Lara (teacher) played Phantom of the Opera and it was amazing. And this kid named Adam played the James Bond theme song. It was funny.

[Kelsey]

That's cool. I am glad it went well. :)

[[deleted user]]

It has german in it because it is about the Holocaust. It is sooo good.

[Leonie, The European One]

hmm, apropos Holocaust, today I visited an antecendend concentration camp with my class...
It was terribly sad to see what happenend there and furthermore what Hitler and all the other Nazis did with the image of Germany... awful..

[Kelsey]

Yeah. Arttooner, have you finished the book yet??

[Leonie, The European One]

yes? and by the way: I GOT AN A in my english oral exam!!! :D jejiii
