You guys are making me jealous
Cause I do corrspondence courses, I do school all year round...it really stinks esp. cause my older sis just wrote her last exam today and starts her work term in Jan, so she's going to be home doing all sorts of FUN while I still do school

It is great!
Kaite...what's year round school like? How often do you have breaks etc? i've always wondered how that worked...

[passinthru]

The way that year-round school works is like this...
I do corrspondence, so I send in my course application, they send me the first unit (each course is split into 4 units) and I then have one year to complete the course. I set my own schedule and as long as I'm done in time it's no problem. (i'm still in High School-doing OACs this year)
I take a break when it gets to be too much. I take Sunday's off and I volunteer at a local theatre for a min. of one day a week as well as evenings when there is a production going on. IT's not my favourite way to do school, it would be way easier to just go to school and have everything given to me and I don't have to discpline myself to do the work. ALso "real" schools offer more courses as not all courses can be taken by correspondence.

I take two weeks off at the end of August...and I take 4 days off at Christmas. Besides that I'm at it year-round, but it means that I'm finally caught up to where I should be (I lost a semester and a half)

That's good Congrats on that one.
From what you've said it sounds like something you need a lot of self-dicipline for. I like the way I go to school now
