i've not been here a lot lately, have i? well, guess now's as good of a time as any to make a small update.
i've started afterschool. (or "efterskole" of you're danish)
and it has been monumental piles of fun! for a lot just the sound of something called "afterschool" sounds terrible, but let me explain a few things about the school system in denmark. (or at least how i remember it.)
folkschool (or "folkeskole") is the basic mandatory education everyone in denmark receives, it covers your basics. it goes from 0 to 9th grade in a logical manor. after that there's a few options, one is going to gymnasium, which is the next logical step for most, it goes from 1st G to 3rd G and allows for more specialaztion in what education you recive.
then there's a sort of school for those wanting an education or job concerning things like electricans and carpenters and such, the grade requirements for these are pretty low and people often pick them due to either having been rejected from a gymnasium due to poor grades (there are no legal grade limit to enter a gymnasium though it can turn you away due to it anyway, which is fair since there is quite a leap frm 9th to 1st G, so if you had far below average grades in basic things like math and such, you'd be in for a world of work) or just really wanting a job in that catagory.
the last option (there are probably others, but they are rare or limited and i don't know of them off the top of my head) is afterschool, which is a sort of boarding school where you sleep and eat at the school along with everyone else. you get a dorm and a roommate (mine's really cool and really tall.) and you get put into a few different groups like you have a group for the hall you're in (i'm in D hall, which has 14 rooms of 2 people each) each room has it's own toilet and shower and we share a kitchen and sofa area.
we're also place into "contact groups" where we're about 10 people from all over the school, we're given a teacher (all the teachers are really cool) and then we're sort of a small family.
we also get to pick a line, a few of those i remeber are, science (the one i picked) it has 3D printers and oculous rift's and we are making lego robots as part of the education.
there are the adventure line for those want to come outside, do things like biking and rowing, running and playing games and such, probably also some climbing and swimming.
there's teh drama line, where you do theater and such, pretty much what you would expect only about 60% cooler.
there's the media line, where you learn to edit and make films and take pictures and such.
there's the music line, where you learn to play music, and sing.
there's also teh art line, where ou make and learn about art and such.
(i'm strapped for time, like, really really strapped, i'll come back later and write more, cya guys till then! also feel free to ask questions you may have, i'll see if i can't get back to them.)
