Well, a few days ago, I got fired from the little coffee shop I worked at. They couldn't even give me a reason. They even said that I was a hard worker and they didn't have a complaint with me.

At least the people here like me.

We do?... Oh yea.. Err what was I talking about?

Anyways, 11 more days of school! Woot!

We don't get out until the 21st.

The school system never ceases to amaze me me with its stupidity.

Fired... shucks man that sucks.

exam week here, already taken my Chemistry and Biology exams. just have my Psychology exam on Thursday and I am done . So I am working extra hours and racking up kudos at work. 10hour workdsay last Friday, and extra hours everyday this week. :S this semester flew by way to fast.

I'm seeing the silver lining with this whole fired thing though; I know the owner of a guitar shop, and I'm going to see if I can get a job over there.

That would be the greatest job ever.

Ah yeah anything to do with one's hobbies make for a great job. unfortunetly there are no aquatic plant/shrimp shops anywhere except for SE asia so I am out of luck. Can jsut shoot for a regular pet sotre but they annoy the heck out of me :S. and so I do coffee lol

Working in a coffee shop is cool when its nice and layd back.. I know I work at one.

Were not as layed back however, cause we do full meals all the way from breakfest to dinner.

But this seems to chatty.. so.. *looks around nervously* so.. yea I should go..

I got results for a few of my Christmas tests back over the last couple of days

I got
48% in Maths (Higher Level)
B1/A2 in English (Higher Level; % not given)
77.3% in French (Higher Level)
86% in Biology (Higher Level)
61% in Chemistry (higher Level) and
100% in Geography (Higher Level)
and i haven't gotten the rest back yet

Doesn't look that bad LoneWolf I had the last exam today, dont know when we will get the results back. Hopefully before school ends, but we might not get the English back until school start again But I really think these exams we had this year have been very boring... Not close to anything I would actually enjoy working hard with

Congrats Wolfie! You did very well I think, like geography huh?

Anyways have a big hug and a

Fuzzy: I´m sure you´ll show us some very good results as well....so you too have a hug and a



For me I got the nice info today that there will be a short outage at my plant....starting late night christmas-eve...so there will probably be some good work for me during this holiday...


bläääääääääääähh

Hmmn.. recently I did the ASVAB (recent being within the past month)

I scored in the 90th percentile in all English skills, the 70th percentile in Electric and Scientific Skills and around 60-65 in every other skill (Math, People Skills, etc.)

It's goverment sponsored and created so I think it's at least a bit accurate (considering I had to take a test three class periods long)

yayy! congrats Stomach Ache! have a hug and a

Now then what exactly is ASVAB?

Some skill aptitude test that is in use across the US. I'm not quite sure what it stands for but it is hailed for being fantasticly accurate.

Er... If I'm not mistaken thats what you take when you wish to join the military O_o

Our grading systems here in america seem to be quite diff from your european ones..

Like a 68% in chemistry is really, really, really bad.. (heh, my grade..) It is actually failing

hehe here a 68% is only 2% off being a B3

I just took some Chemistry test, I am still waiting to get the results back.....

A B3?

...Ok.. I think Ima gonna try to xplain our grading system..

A - 100-90% - Best you can do
B - 89-80%
C - 79-70%
D - 69-60%
E - Is unimportant
F - Your a failure. - Worst you can do

Now, passing is usually making about a 70% or above. Grading scale changes with each state.. Mine is actually diff then this, but not a whole lot.

Here it's:

A: 85-100%
B: 70-84%
C: 55-69%
D: 40-54%
E: 25-39%
F: 0-24%

A pass is a D or higher here, 40% or higher

The whole A1,A2, B1, B2, B3 thing i can't remeber what the percentages for, so i didn't put them in

Well, originally it did have some military connection, now it's just a skill aptitude test.

Just want to share the news, my daughter has now been in US for a week, she´s arrived at her host-family in Ann Arbor MI, and so far everything is great.

It´s nice and snowy where she is, the family have taken very good care of her and the previous au-pair has introduced her to a lot of ppl.....

Oh guys I really feel like I want to go visit her as soon as possible..it sounds very nice what she´s telling.....so I´m now saving up all money I can spare so I can go on a loooooong trip to US next year.....
