But you see, that's only a bad thing if you do poorly. And knowing you, you'll probably ace all of them, so that's actually a good thing. I'm probably going to be getting my AP scores mid to late July, too. Now there's something to worry about.

Well I'll need to get most of my subjects with a mark of 3 or upwards if I want to enter the Law course at Uni. so I have to do well. I hate the restrictions there are to the subjects you have to choose though. You choose 5, and one of them has to be a science subject, excluding Computer Studies or IT, and there's a 6th subject called Systems of Knowledge, which apparently everyone hates. But a girl told me you do mythology in that class, so if it's true, I'll definately be loving that part of the class.

Don't worry, Hermy, I'm sure you'll do great. So what else would a class called Systems of Knowledge cover exactly?

I'm not sure exactly about what's covered in the subject. but I know there's reference to the arts and you have to study some basic stuff on famous paintings, which after Dan Brown's books shouldn't be extremely difficult.
I think you cover some culture too. I'll have to check on that one.

I hope I'll find some really interesting classes like that.
I still haven't read The DaVinci Code. I might be the only one.

I'm reading Angels and Demonds right now, also situated in Italy. I dunno if it's because I have gone so long with seeing Italian TV, but many of the places mentioned may ring a bell sometimes. You know I also love it when in some parts of the book, like in Angels and Demonds, some people speak in Italian, and I can understand them.
I hate it when I'm reading Sherlock Holmes stories, and he starts speaking German. That's why I've decided to start learning German on my own. I know a person who has started learning latin from an online source, so I suppose since I have the books and some grammar notes, it shouldn't be too hard.

Hehe, you sound like my friend. She likes anime so much that she's starting to learn Japanese. Great how things like literature make you more interested in other languages and cultures, isn't it? ;D

Yes it is! I think you can always learn something new from books, even if they are fantasy. Right now, I'm really observing how authors manage to write dialogue, something which for me is really difficult to do. Meh!

Ooh, I agree. I'm not very good at writing realistic dialogue, in my opinion. I guess it's just not my style. *shrugs* But I should do what you're doing and pay more attention to how other authors do it.
