The results are in!!

Filed under: School & education — Tags: , — Clayton @ 9:44 pm

The results of my 3rd and last test round are in. And all of them went well!
Yeah I’m so happy about this, because I really want to graduate as soon as possible. And with my school results at the moment my status is: passed
But that’s only for the school part. I still have to make the final exams. And both grades will be added up and divided by 2 to get your final results to see if you’ve passed or not. So if I don’t screw up the exams everything should be fine. But I’m staying positive.

Oh and that thing about my Dutch orals: when the teacher said that she expected more from me. I got a 7.2 which is fine with me, but she probably wanted me to do better, but whatever. :roll:

I even did “okay” on math. A 5.3 which isn’t the best grade in the world, but still my highest grade for this school year. And really good, since I didn’t get anything until a week before the test.

For my economics I received a 6.7, which I do believe that I could have done better, but I forgot a few things, which actually where in my head, so I was a bit pissed off at myself at that point.

And for my English orals I got a 8.7 which was the highest mark in the class. I didn’t make any grammatical errors, just a few errors about the storylines of the books, but yeah, it was still good and the teacher even said that she thought I was very good. :cool:

But enough bragging.

The final exams start in about 3 weeks. On July 14 to be exact. We got our whole schedule today along with rules and other legal stuff about the final exams. Geez, you should see it; I’m surprised they didn’t make me sign some sort of contract. :lol:

Taking the weekend off!

Filed under: Clay's personal — Tags: , — Clayton @ 9:14 pm

It’s the weekend and I plan to do NOTHING at all :D
I had my last test round this week. And my last test today… yes on a Saturday.. one test got postponed until today. So at the moment I’m tired. Both physically and mentally. And I plan to rest this weekend. And do nothing… at least, nothing that’s related to school.

Today in exactly one month I start with my final exams. I’m done with the school tests. And all went pretty good so far, so I’m very positive at the moment. I only need to study towards the exams, but not now. I’m tired. I’ll start on monday…. my mind needs sleep too.

Maybe later on I’ll make some graphics to free some creativity :) but now I’m just enjoying some new music. And I’m just saying life is good (at the moment). :cool:

Fast internet speed :p

Filed under: Clay's personal — Tags: , — Clayton @ 11:52 pm

It’s been almost 2 weeks now that my internet connection has been much faster than before. Remember the post where I was complaining how damn slow my connection was? (If you don’t click here) well since June the internet provider has updated their services and now the connection is at least 3 times faster and doesn’t fail so often anymore. P yay.

It’s great, because now instead of waiting about 4-5 hours to download a single album. I now only have to wait about an hour. Which is frikkin’ awesome for an internet junky like me :cool: I’ve now have 3 new albums within 24 hours and I’m currently busy with another one.

And it’s not just the download. The pages load way faster too. Which was a huge problem for example when I was viewing a myspace profile (loaded with music and pictures) it took me forever to open. And watching videos on youtube doesn’t take that much longer anymore. Also the uploading of files on my website or when I try to send something to someone is much faster now!

It’s still not the world’s faster connection. In the cybercafé it’s faster and in Holland way (I and I mean WAY) faster… but this certainly is a lot better than what I had to work with before :P

The oral exams are over!!

Filed under: Clay's personal, School & education — Tags: , , — Clayton @ 8:56 pm

Finally the oral exams are over! I had my last one today. Overall it went good (I think and hope). I still need to get my results of the 2 languages (English and Dutch) but I already have my geography and history grades (geography 7.1 and history 6.5).
I’m sure English went great, because English is my subject :P and the teacher and I were just chatting and talking like friends about the books I had to read. It was fun and I wouldn’t mind doing that again (although I rather not and just pass and graduate ;) )

But anyways, I had the last oral exam today: Dutch. And I thought everything was going okay until when I was done and she said: “I actually expected more from you!”

What the F does that mean??? :???:

I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t know what to say. Is this good or bad? An dif it’s bad, how bad are we talking about? But I will get my result tomorrow, and we’ll find out what that remark means in terms of grades. :|

But anyways… I’m glad the oral exams are over and that I don’t have to read a book for school anymore (at least not at this school anymore). These oral exams (except for geography) were all about those 12 books I had to read during my Easter break. And I’m glad it’s over, because I’m longing to read some fictional novels again :P cuz I’ve not been able to do that for months now.

As for the written tests; I only have 2 this round. Math I had yesterday, which went “okay”. Although the time wasn’t enough. I’m not sure how I did. But at least I’ve been able to do more than the last tragic test. So yeah…:roll:
And economics I have this Saturday… :shock: yes on a Saturday! It’s because the test got postponed from Tuesday (last week) until this Saturday!
Now it’s just studying for the final exams in about a month. Hopefully I can clear those successfully, graduate and say goodbye to this school. :cool:

Wanted has a target release date of June 27, 2008. Wanted is rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, pervasive language and some sexuality.

Gibson is invited by his father’s partner, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), to follow in his father’s footsteps. Sloan’s second-in-command, Fox (Angelina Jolie), mentors Gibson, who follows death orders issued by The Fates, weavers who read individuals’ destinies in fabrics produced by mystical looms.

The oral exams

Filed under: School & education — Tags: , , , — Clayton @ 4:29 pm

The oral examinations are going pretty good so far. :P

On Monday I had geography, which at first I thought would be hard, but everything turned out to be peachy. I did forget a few things, but luckily the teacher and I are on good terms, so he forced the answers out of me, and helped me out when I was going in the wrong direction. I ended up with a 7.1 which is just fine. :)

And today I had my English oral exam, which went splendid, that I almost didn’t want to leave when I was done. I just love English :D I was just chit-chatting with the teacher and I was just all comfortable. And before we started she said she has high expectations of me (that’s because I’m on of the best in her class :mrgreen: ) So we started talking about 3 out of the 5 books I had to read. I was able to answer all questions and I’m sure I will get a good grade. I just have to wait to get it.

So on Friday I have history, and I still need to read this book. I was busy with it not long ago, but got bored so I took a break from it, but I will go back to it in a moment.

Hopefully these days will pass quick and all successful.
