Personally, I'm staying home with a jug of chocolate ice cream :3

going to Palm Springs, CA

It's a school day here in AUS, so go to school...watch everyone else get chocolates and roses...and spend the afternoon in my bed with my cats and a good book. Oh, and chocolate my mummy bought me :P

Lulubug07, so you're almost in middle school? Assuming you're in america, then you'll be going into equivalent year 6 here, and you'll be about 12, correct?

I'm a high school freshman

@Chlo you are almost correct what is before year 6

Who doesn't love S/D?

and exsqueeze me on the unfamiliarity of terms, but how long have you been in high-school for @Leah? (I'm good with England, and amazing with Australia, but not so good with anywhere else....lol)

I love SD and Mock Trials

@Lulubug07 year 5. End of primary. about 10, turning 11...but our year has just started, is it the same for you?

nope, almost tri 3

This is my first year...9th grade. 10th grade you're a sophomore, 11th grade a junior, and 12th grade a senior.

3 what?! Ah, so confused lol :)

3rd trimester

ah, that explains SO much, Leah :)

So i'm a sophomore...cool :D

you have a trimester? So, you're in your ?last? trimester of primary, and ?next? trimester you'll be in middle school?

and I rule my school!!!

yup

haha, lol I remember year 5 :)

so how old are you? My bro is in year 5, and he's turning 10 in april...lol

3rd quarter is what I think she means.

3rd term? you have 4 terms, yeah?

no its third trimester not quarter

I guess so. The school year is divided into 2 eighteen week sections called semesters and, more specifically, 4 nine week sections, referred to as quarters.

ok, cool :) we have 4 terms here, so watevs :)

how old r u guys? I'm almost 15 :D

14

oh your quarters sound better. we have 4 terms of 10 weeks, broken by 2 week holidays in between 2,3,and 4. and between 4 and 1 we have 6 weeks holiday. And terms 1+2 = semester 1 and terms 3+4= semester 2 :D

Yeah, quarters 1 & 2 make up 1st semester and 3rd and 4th quarter make up 2nd semester.

We get days here and there, but we DEFINITELY don't have a 6 week holiday! :)
