    I finished the paper and now I've got some finals due next week, and then I'm pretty much done. Just have to get through next Friday and I should be wrapping up this semester from hell.

    Starting Monday I have work from 9AM-5PM on Monday-Friday. Plus travel time... I dunno 1h20min - 1h30min in both directions.

    Then until the end of June I have class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7PM-10PM. Going to see if I can leave work at 4:30PM on those days so that I still have time to eat something before class.

    And my old job on top of that on evenings and weekends whenever they feel like sending me a project.

    Woo!

    My free time hasn't been all that relaxing. Had to finish some papers. Been running around a lot (had three job interviews). Did a commute test run yesterday XD Had a cousin's communion. Easter was in there somewhere. Been busy.

    I am not British so I don't know what a sixth form is.

    Conversion table for you yanks :P

    We have Primary School, Secondary School, Sixth Form/College (sixth form is academic, college is practical), and University.

    American version = British version

    Elementray = Primary, Middle = 1st three years of Secondary, High = Last two years of Secondary + 2 years of College/Sixth Form, College = Uni

    Haha all my British friends over the years have been in college rather than sixth form, I guess, because I don't think I'd ever heard the term until this year but I've had online British friends confusing me with their terminology for well over 10. :(

    I can imagine that the term would confuse people who are not from the UK because I even get confused sometimes. That being said, most people who go to sixth forms refer to them as college because the full term for them is a Sixth-Form College, which is kinda weird considering that there are Colleges which are different to sixth-forms.

    Our education system is stupidly confusing. -.-
