Report RSS School is coming to an end... :)

Posted by on

Hello, fellow ModDB'ers and others. :D

For me, the semester will have ended by the end of May. That means by the end of May, I will have finished elementary school. Finally...

So, let's see how I'm doing, regarding the subjects:

  • Bosnian - One test left (will be an A)
  • English - One test left (will be an A, too)
  • Turkish - A
  • Maths - A
  • Physics - A
  • Biology - One report left (will be an A)
  • Chemistry - One presentation left (will be an A)
  • History - A
  • Geography - A (at least I think so, I might have an oral exam left)
  • P.E. - A (lol, everyone's got an A in P.E. this year)
  • Art Class - A
  • Tech Class - A
  • Music Class - Composition recognition test left (will be an A, hopefully)
  • Islam Class - A


So, it's been 9 years, and I'm finally going to finish elementary school.

Then I'll go to high school, uh-oh.

(in my country:
Elementary is from the 1st to the 9th grade;
high school is from the 10th to the 14th grade;
and college/uni/etc. depends on the degree)



Man, time flies fast, doesn't it? I mean, I remember thinking about this moment when I was in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I knew it was going to happen and it's apparently going to happen. :D

Also, there isn't much left, seriously.

We'll have an excursion to Montenegro from the 17th to the 19th of May and then a prom at the 26th of May, so that is 3 days less to count. In short, it's just 6 days left minus the weekends and those events.

And I'm so happy because of it. This summer, lots of stuff will happen (I hope), including:

  • Buying and building that dream PC :D
  • Opening a bank account (for Steam games, of course)
  • My cousins from the USA will come and stay here for a month or two (and they haven't been here since 2011)


Looks like the patience will finally pay off. :]

But after that becomes history, I'll be worried. Because I'll have to decide which high school to sign up.

I have 2 options: the general high school in Stolac (my town) and the electro-technical high school in Mostar.

Since at least 2 of my classmates will also sign up for the ETS in Mostar, I'm encouraged to sign up there, too. We won't have stupid classes like biology, geography, chemistry, music class etc. NO! We will have stuff related to I.T, tech and robots.

A little explanation on music class:
No, we don't learn how to compose music (I wish we did that). Instead we learn about composers, music history (classicism, baroque, renaissance etc.) and we learn how to sing boring local songs which very little people care about.


The only 2 downsides, perhaps, will be the fact that I'll have to take the bus early in the morning every day, and I'll have to buy my own food (whereas here I carry some snacks into school from home). Bummer. But I'll not let those 2 silly reasons stop me from studying what I love.

But seriously, I've never bought my own lunch since 2nd grade.

This year is so good, I love it! :D



Alright, adding some context for that "This year is so good" sentence...

So, this year I was gifted some more games on Steam. Some people who buy games on a regular basis have no idea how meaningful this is to me.

Then, a moderator from a Far Cry modding site sent me a PM, offering me some spare PC parts for free, lol. I told him that we'd talk about that in summer.

And, the most recent addition to the kindness of others towards me was someone from GameBanana saying he'd give me a copy of Windows when I build my dream PC. Wow, I'm so lucky, aren't I?

Well, I'll certainly have to take some of those offers with a grain of salt, because you never know whether they really mean it or not.

I'm not sure if this is so, but I've always been nice to other people on the Internet (I can only recall swearing and behaving badly 5 or so times). I think that me being nice fired back on me, lol. I'm glad if it is. Karma, I think that's the word for it.

Next, I've started socialising a bit with my classmates. I talk more with them, and we laugh at stuff and sing Serbian war songs during the breaks.

My social situation is much better compared to what it was 1.5 years ago.

So yeah, this year is so good, it's even the best one in my life for now. I love it! :D

Admer456 Congrats for you. I support your decision in picking school. General High School is very disadvantageous if you didn't attend college after that, especially if unemployment is high. And attending college didn't guarantee a steady job. I have final year's exam next week.

About that music class... Back here i actually tasked to compose music. I done that only await presentation.

I plan to enroll to Psychology College after high school, then enlist as Psy-Medic in Police/Army after graduating (of course being a psychologist for a corporation yield more payment, but one could be fired, while national service will keep granting payment after retirement and or death, i have eye disability, the armed force won't accept fighter with disability, so either medic or technician is the other way in)

The general high school which we call "gymnasium" is actually useless if you don't go to a college afterwards.

In the electro-technical high school in Mostar, there's a guy who's on his second year, and he already has a job, lol.

Basically, the gymnasium wouldn't prepare me enough for the field of I.T. It's just not enough. So, I'll sign up for that ETS in Mostar instead. :3

We call one type of highschool 'Gymnasium' too in Germany.
But I'm in a 'Secondary school'.
Bad choice.
