Life In 19x19

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, .

Nice. Adrian Petrescu, an admin here, also goes there and I think wossname, a global mod here, recently graduated from there as well. Have a fun time .

It's party time :3

gratz!

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.

Congratulations! Hope Uni life treats you well.

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!

Congratulations. I finished school 16 years ago

Since you are 16 years old that means you never been to school?

Yap... I have the honor to be homeschooled

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.

Congratulations Jonas!

Congrats, Informatikkaufmann Jonas!

Glückwunsch Herr Informatikkaufmann!

High School is Over!

Not quite: it resumes as soon as you graduate college and get a real job.
