Off I go into the next term of school in...30 minutes. It's also occurred to me that I don't have a book yet since the booklist has mysteriously disappeared from any retrievable place. I wonder if someone will complain since it's kind of unfair to expect us to psychically know what books to buy. huh.gif

Two weeks ago. Actually, I had my finals early on Monday, so I had two full weeks. Otherwise, I would've only had one.

eruhm...

spring quarter (11 weeks + 1 week of finals), break (1 week), summer quarter, ja?

So spring was last quarter, and now it's summer after one week of break and one week of finals.

You mean you don't just go from August to May, and then get June and July off? Where do you live?

er...August to May would be a long quarter. blink.gif That'd mean that you have to go to school for four years to get one year of credit.

It's broken up into:

fall (11+1), break(1), winter (11+1), break(1), spring (11+1), break(1), summer (11+1 ?), break(?), repeat

Summer's a little shorter than the other quarters, though, so it might be 10+1 or 9+1, and the final break's a little longer.

More like four years to get a minimum of twenty-three credits...

Well, yes, depending on your credit system, something like that. Here, it'd be something like 40-50 credits on average, and 4 credits being the minimum (taking nothing but one PE course a quarter).

Are you talking about school, university or other?

Its been a couple of years now, but our school system is something like:

1st term:starts at Begining of Feb, lasts 10 weeks
2 week break
2nd term:10weeks
2 week break
3rd term-10 weeks
2 week breack
4th term-10 weeks
6 weeks break. Next year begins in February.

Uni on the other hand is quite different. Usually we start in march, go for 7 weeks, have a week off, then go for another 7 or so weeks, have some exams, a few weeks off, then second semester is the same. At the end of the year, we have about 3 and a half months off.

Here our terms are four nine weeks. We don't have a break between terms except for a week for Spring Break. We get a few weeks off for Christmas and Thanksgiving stuff, which I suppose qualifies as winter and fall breaks. We get out in May, go back around August 6 or 7.

It must be strange not having your school years coincide with actual years, but I guess if your used to it it makes more sense.

Right, I'm thorougly confused...

As far as I can tell, what was school for me until it ended a month ago was September through to December, January through to Easter, and Easter through to about July, with a weeks break in the middle of each. Two weeks break between each term, and a six week break in the summer.

Of course, since I've just done my A levels, that's nothing like how its worked for me. I ran off in late May, been doing exams ever since, then soon as I've done my last exam on Friday, hedonism on a grand scale... laugh.gif

Simey, it's uni.

Also, the summer quarter turns out to be 8 weeks plus 1 week of finals for me.

Our system is pretty much exactly the same, except the public schools (like the one I went to) do six periods of six weeks. I think it's usually the private schools that do four nine-week periods.
