So I just wrote my final exam (the dreaded Chemistry one) today, and now my high-school days are over! Next year, I'm heading off the University of Waterloo to study Computer Science. And, most importantly, they have a Go club there! Though it is sad to have to say goodbye to my good friends, I'm looking forward to it. Now that school's out, I can hopefully start getting some games on KGS in again. I'm out of shape, my few games on there have been, well,  .

Ah! Such memories. I finished high school 40 years ago this month (people did not graduate from UK schools). I was glad to get out of there. Never met any of the people from there since and am not complaining. And I had never heard of go at that time. I learned about it the following year at university. All I remember is that I walked out of there and never went back. I went straight off to a cricket match and, because of time constraint and other things, remains to this day the only complete 3-day match I have ever seen from beginning to end. |

Congratulations! One phase done, now onto the next one...and more schooling.  I remember those days. They weren't really all that long ago. Enjoy the break while you can.

Hey, welcome to Waterloo, Dusk Eagle!  It's a great school, and the Go club is pretty active as well.I've only got less than a year left, and I'll be on co-op when you start in September, but I'll see you in the club come January 2011!

Yes, that's a bad day for Sweden. The PISA survey revealed that Germany's school system is archaic and responsible for the poor language capabilities of many pupils. |

Sry for highjacking the thread but I finally finished my apprenticeshipexam and can call me Informatikkaufmann (guess the english translation would be something like information technology officer?) ~ I'm so relieved ^_^ Regarding the schoolsystem: I think the general problem of the german schoolsystem is the late investment of money. The biggest part of the school budget is invested in the higher-level-diploma-classes. The teachers in elementary school are earning the fewest of all teachers in the complete german school system. I think it should be the other way around, it is most important that the best teachers are supporting the young children. |
