Updates and apologies. · 4:33pm Dec 16th, 2012
I guess I'll start with that apology first.
Sorry, I just looked at my stuff and realised that I hadn't written anything in much too long. However, there are some reasons, and I believe you deserve to know why I suck so bad.
Before that though, you should probably know what's up with everything at the moment:
- Oldnew Luna: After the Dawn is delayed
- Oldnew Luna edits are occuring
- I'm only going to be proofreading oneshots for a while now, until my workload lightens. Apart from the stories I'm already doing of course, but those are also delayed.
- I recently became Contributor to the Proofreaders and People willing to Proofread ground, so I've been doing a fair amount of work with the massive reformating and clear ups that have been happening.
- Writing a couple of random oneshots I'm not sure I'm going to finish
Anyway, reasons. Well probably the most prominent of them is the fact that school is a cruel mistress. For some reason, teachers decide that it is necessary for you to both take several hours out of your day for revision, but also that you should complete their additional homeworks too. Then, I should probably make mention that I actually do not own my own computer or laptop, and have to use my Dad's work laptop, this means that I have a fairly limited time on the internet with which to perform all of the above things. There's a few other smaller reasons I won't bore you with, but yeah, they are the main two.
But I'm sure you don't care about the reasons, I know I wouldn't. So I'll just say that I haven't abandoned anything, I've just had to delay a fair amount of stuff. (Also, if anyone knows a method of remembering about 700 words in another language in a few hours, that would be greatly appreciated)
618546 Thanks
I'm probably too late, but which language? (My Christmas break just started and my finals are over.)
629023 Well, I took the thing on Monday, but yeah. It was French.
632243 French? memeorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ony-nope-nope-nope-gif.gif
Je déteste cette langue avec tout mon coeur. Yet, I have to learn it, since it's an official language in Belgium. I hate to live in a country that has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German. Although German seems a rather cool language. Everything seems aggressive in German . When do your finals end? Mine have ended since Tuesday and tomorrow I'll know my results.
632270 Well, it was a GCSE exam, for about 37.5% of my entire French GCSE. I do most of the rest of them in June of 2013.
632333 I had to look GCSE up, since we don't have that in Belgium and boy, it seems rather complicated. In Belgium it's just 50% in December and 50% in June and in between you get marks on tests and tasks, but if you fail on the first exam then you certainly need to do much better on the second one. In short, school is tricky. You can compare GCSE to something similar in Belgium. Here you need to choose a specific branch of education you want to study in the secondary education. I chose human sciences, that's sociology, political sciences and communication sciences, but when I have finished secondary education this year, I'm going to study history at one of the universities here in Belgium. Wow, never thought I'd discuss education on FimFiction.
632379 Indeed. Well, in England, you sort of narrow down your options until you reach the career path you want. Like, you start Secondary School in Year 7 and do all available subjects, then you choose certain subjects to drop for GCSEs out of the options (there are still some core subjects), then you pick three or four subjects to specialize in for Sixth form for A levels, then finally which subject you want to do for University. I'm currently in my last year of GCSEs and am going to pick my A level options in February.
632412 SO, that's like one or two more years in secondary school, right? I'm not good at math.
632422 Seven years in Secondary School, though that last two aren't mandatory
632448 Here it's six years and you need to do the six years, it's the law.
Anyways, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow my results and the end of the world. yay. No, I don't believe in the end of the world.
632469 I see. Well, good luck with your results, even though you probably won't see this until after.
632516 I thank you, good sir. (I like my gentleman mode.)
I have to say that I'm quite pleased with my results. Mmmh, quite.
I hope with my whole heart that you find yourself with also pleasing results.
Ta-ta
