Human Rights Blog and School

I’m terrible at writing these days, and I’m terribly sorry about it.

I’ve been thinking lately that I want to start another kind of blog, in addition to this one. My plan is to make a human rights blog, and it will be named “The Freedom Blog”. I will try and update it once a week with various causes that I burn for. The idea isn’t fully developed yet, but I’m working on it. :)

Anyway, it’s only three days until school starts again, and I’m quite excited. Who will I go to class with? How will my time table look? Will my teachers be nice/good? Will anyone give me the swine flu? I really don’t want it the first weeks of school. But honestly, I think the hysteria about it isn’t really worth it. My school now says that if you have a headache and a fever one day, they want you to stay home for 7 days! I think it sounds crazy, but I guess it’s ok to be careful so that only maybe a few get sick instead of the whole school.

It will be nice to start up again anyway, because the last two weeks have been quite boring. I’ve been sitting around just missing my boyfriend far too much compared to what’s healthy, so it will be good to actually not have time for that anymore.

So as I’ve most likely said before, I will have all my subjects in English this year, because I’m taking the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is a quite special school system, where you can choose all your subjects yourself. There are six groups, and you have to have a subject inside each of them: Mother Tongue; Second Language; Scientific; Mathematics; Social Study; and Artistic (or another scientific, social or lingual subject).

The subjects I chose were: Norwegian HL, English HL, Biology HL, Mathematics SL, Psychology SL, and German HL.

As you see, I put a HL or SL after all the subjects. The HL means that it’s on a higher level than what’s normal in gymnasium, while SL means that it’s at a standard level.

My last choice of subject, the German, was unfortunately not available, so now I’m having Chemistry HL instead, which also will be quite interesting.

I still need to learn German if I want to study in Switzerland, so I will go to an evening course instead. I think that is a good solution.

Well, I’m looking forward to get back to school again, for some reason, and I hope that feeling will last for a while. If I know myself right, I’ll be tired again after a month, but then it’s not far from autumn holidays anyway. :D

Hope you all had a great summer!
