And pretty good cx I'm finally done with exams (now I've just got to wait until August to get the results o.o) Thanks~ I think if I say it enough it will finally hit me (I was really surprised, lol) xD Luckily for me, the scholarship takes effect this fall so I have the summer off. Planning to get a summer job and stuff. That's great~ I hate the long waits. When I was in hgh school, we waited forever for our results x3 I hope you did ok! How do you feel about them?

Haha, hopefully! I guess it'll feel more real when you're back at college? That must be a nice change of pace, then. Good luck with job hunting! (Supposed to be doing that rn, but I'm struggling to think where to apply...) Ugh, same. And mixed, I guess. I think I've got what I need in two of my subjects, not sure about the third.

I live in a really small town x_x I'm a little nervous about my grade, I feel like I didn't do well, but I tend to feel that way no matter what x3 I'm sure we both did great~

Yeah, I can see that xp I've just got out of school, not sure how I'd feel about having to go back there. Owch, yes. Extra good luck then! That's the problem with exam results. The longer I go after an exam, the less sure I am that I answered anything right :/ Yes, indeed c:

Ah fair enough cx Does busy involve doing anything fun? A levels xD (I'm British.) I guess that counts as standard - everyone does them unless you do an apprenticeship or whatever instead.

Unfortunately not, unless your idea of fun is three hard classes xD And my friend (a Marine) who's supposed to come home sometime in the next few months
I remembered you were, but I was unsure what the big tests were called over there xD Here, as you can imagine, they're called statewide tests (but the actual names of the tests change all the time) lol. I had to take these Advanced Placement (AP) classes back in high school, which require AP tests x_x Those give you credit for your degree after graduating

Yes, that is... not fun at all Seeing your friend should be nice though c: Just making sure x'D I once found that some people online had assumed I was US for years. Interesting... So it's a way to get ahead with your degree? That sounds like pretty hard work >.< A levels are quite different, I think. Only 3 subjects and you have to wait for the results before you can confirm your uni place.

Haha, that's funny xD I know we talked about it awhile back, so it just stayed in my head. I don't assume, but I found out that there's a lot of Americans here lol Yeah, exactly. We do have a high school program that allows us to actually go to college before we graduate, but I didn't do that. I just took college classes instead. It is pretty hard ^u^ Yeah, that sounds very different. I think it's pretty interesting to hear about actually

That's pretty tough I hope seeing him goes well, then! Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 people I know from this site who aren't American (plus one Canadian). You're definitely in the majority x'D How do you get into these things? Just by doing well lower down the school system or do you have to do something extra? It's definitely interesting to compare! If you have any more uk specific questions I'm your girl I guess

Lucky. I did a lot of walking yesterday and kept thinking I smelled ocean as soon as I got home (two guesses where I went. ) Hum ... other than that I just started writing for Camp NaNo and I'm already really pleased with how much I've written for Sky of Shattered Stars. I'm a bit iffy about really, honestly wanting to make it a series. I'm going to try and figure out if there's any way I can cut stuff to make it less. At least not 'seven book series'. Huuuuum ... thinking about digitally drawing a snowy mountain.

I know of a few, just that I casually saw. I only personally know like, two lol Maybe it's just because Americans made this forum? idk We get to choose to do it, and I don't want to sound pretentious, but I'm pretty sure you can't if you don't do so well in average classes. The way our schools handle it is, regular class is for average students, then there's help classes for kids who struggle, and then there's AP classes for above average. AP (sometimes called Honors) can be in any subject, like Science, Math, History, and English Agreed :3 I am wondering, do most schools do uniforms or is that for a specific typeset? And at what age is it common for students to go to university?

I'll be interested to see that if you do!!

How many classes can you take in total, then? Most schools have uniforms up to year 11 (the third-last year), then the last 2 years you can wear whatever. I still have my old tie somewhere, that uniform was pretty hideous >.< And 18, usually. The autumn after leaving school.

Well, if a person decided to take all AP classes, they could. So, they would take a higher math (1), Honors English (2), AP science (3), and AP History (4). Plus other classes you have to take, which would come out to 6 total classes in a day. Interesting! Oh gawd xD I don't mind the idea of wearing a tie, but I don't want to be forced to? (So American of me, I know xD) Ok, that's about the same here. I waited 2 years after graduating tho... rip So you're 18? If you don't mind saying ofc

It's based on Discworld. Though that's just because the fic it was based on was based on Discworld and boy do I miss that fic. Anyway ... I'll see what I get out of camp and where it goes. I love that the plot is already a whole lot slower than the original. It seems like as I get better at writing I'm also able to slow down the plot better. Though I have to work on little side bits with character interaction. Been neglecting that.

6 classes a day? That's wild. But it seems like you have a lot of control over which ones, at least. I don't blame you xD It's not too bad when everyone your age is stuck in uniform though... By the later years of secondary school everyone's just testing the boundaries by wearing jeans, fashion skirts or whatever. Nothing wrong with that! I knew one girl who started uni age 21 last year. Yeah, I'm 18 lol. Which seems to be young for this particular forum

And congrats on making progress! Plot pacing is pretty difficult - my writing always seems to expand uncontrollably.

(Aquarium. ) It was a story called From Fingers to Fur and it was the same as mine. Warriors/Discworld. Hidden Nature, book 2, was my favorite. It had great interaction between Dovewing and Death. And yeah, I don't have that problem, ha ha. We both need to meet each other somewhere at the beginning I guess.

(Gah, didn't even think of that ) Dovewing talking to Death sounds amazing. Respect. Or we could combine forces... You can write the plot, and I'll write the random subplots that come out of nowhere.
In other news, Chapter 11 is all but finished and into the editing stage! So that should be up pretty soon

(Nah, nah, no worries. XD ) It was great! I'm keeping the same parallels that were in the books. That is that each Bane (or Horseman) related to each member of the Power of Three.
Let's do it!
I need to come up with some subplots and it will probably be working against some baddies and keeping up relations.

This just gets better and better! Lionblaze is war, right? And Jayfeather's plague, I guess, since he's a med cat
In all seriousness, a co-write would be very cool if we both had time (;
Sounds like some quality subplots!
