    First you have Kindergarden then you have Elementary school which is 1-5 grades the Middle school or Junior High which is 6-9 Then you have High school which is grades 9-12

    Then its college.

    It''s what we call it in Norwegian, not sure what the english thing is. It's sortoff like high school just B languages and some other stuff instead is removed. Those classes are then replaced by another subject that is special for the school mainly some sort of "ntg" sport (not football and track sports), like skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, rafting, extreme sports photography/filming Each of witch has it's own high school. You then get classes in these. An example would be the Snowboard accadamy in Gelio. They get class ours were they have to learn and perfect skills with the coaches. But they also learn other stuff fex in the snowboard accadamy (my cousin teaches there witch is why i know so much about it) they learn how to construct a snowboard and how to take good snowboard pictures and films as well as mountain survival. NTG schools are some of the hardest to get into and complete, first of all you need a B or more (depends on the school) in youre avrage grade to get inn to qualifications. Then you need to complete a series of tests within the Sport to get in. The resson for this is that these schools give the same credit as other schools, so the people who go there have to be able to keep up in both the classes and the sport.

    Very good system for people who actually want to become professionals and teachers of the sport, which is actually difficult over here. I wouldn't consider enrolling in one otherwise, though.

    You can take "Advanced Gym" in my school if you want to become a gym teacher or fitness instructor.

    We don't, we just get optional Theory lessons which don't really help with a career in fitness.

    yhea, I could brobaly get inn the skiing one if i tried hard enough, but I'm not planning (and im not good enough) to make a carreer out of skiing or becoming a photographer. Even if i can go on to college afterwards and study normaly the extra work may be abit much for me.Also i have to many healthg problems.

    School was pretty fun. Saw some old friends that I don't talk to a lot. And the girl that I think I like said hi to me. That's pretty cool. Everything seemed kind of routine, though. I don't know. Tomorrow I have
