Sunday, August 24, 2008 tbbars (11:19:07 AM): Hey Pansy, it's Roger from BB Hogwarts! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:19:30 AM): Hey Roger! How are you? tbbars (11:19:39 AM): I'm fine thanks. How about you? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:20:00 AM): Oh pretty good. Having a quiet Sunday morning before work. tbbars (11:20:10 AM): Oh right. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:20:39 AM): I hate working weekends lol. tbbars (11:20:46 AM): haha tbbars (11:21:03 AM): Whereabouts are you then if it's still morning? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:21:58 AM): lol Mountain Standard/Mid-West. It's not quite still morning, 11:20...but I'm still calling it morning haha tbbars (11:22:50 AM): I was wondering 'cause I'm in England, so it's 6:20 here. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:23:18 AM): ah...where's about in England. My aunt and uncle live in York tbbars (11:23:29 AM): I live in Dorset in the South. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:23:37 AM): cool tbbars (11:23:47 AM): Have you ever been over here? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:24:28 AM): no...it's on my list of things to do. I'm saving up money so I can spend about a year traveling europe and wherever else I can get lol tbbars (11:24:46 AM): That's cool! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:25:36 AM): yeah. I was going to spend most of it in Ireland, but lol I don't really feel like all the paperwork that will come from doing that. haha. tbbars (11:26:05 AM): haha hiddenbeauty2286 (11:27:08 AM): but I'm definitely excited for it. I hope to have enough by next fall so I can head out in the early months of 2010 tbbars (11:27:56 AM): So apart from Irelan and England, where else were you thinking of? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:28:32 AM): well my ancestors mainly stem from Ireland, lol I keep hitting weird buttons tbbars (11:28:40 AM): haha hiddenbeauty2286 (11:28:54 AM): anyway, Scotland, England, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Spain, France... hiddenbeauty2286 (11:29:03 AM): Kinda everywhere tbbars (11:29:13 AM): That's a pretty good range anyway. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:29:39 AM): yeah...I want to hit about 12 different countries...one a month ya know lol tbbars (11:29:47 AM): haha that'd be good! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:30:10 AM): yeah but I doubt it'll happen...I'll probably get swept up in each country far too much to move on lol tbbars (11:30:54 AM): There's quite a lot in England, especially London, our new Olympic host. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:32:06 AM): lol yeah. I figure Ireland, Scotland, and England will be my biggest hold ups. I have had a lot of ancestors stem from those three countries and I'm a closet history fanatic...I'd want to see everything lol tbbars (11:32:14 AM): haha tbbars (11:32:33 AM): I really wanted to see the handover from the closing ceremony, but I taped it so I will. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:33:05 AM): yeah lol tbbars (11:33:27 AM): Did you see it or no? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:33:57 AM): I unfortunately have had to work this entire Olympic season and didn't get to watch any of it. -grumbles- hiddenbeauty2286 (11:34:04 AM): and I wanted to see Phelps tbbars (11:34:28 AM): He's like a rocket in water. tbbars (11:34:37 AM): Got all 8 golds he wanted. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:35:12 AM): yeah I read the reports cause that's all i got to do. I hate my job sometimes. Hired as a parttime and they made me work full time the last three weeks. tbbars (11:35:26 AM): Well that's not exactly fair. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:35:59 AM): no it's not. So I've been looking for a different job. tbbars (11:36:12 AM): What kind of job do you hope for? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:36:32 AM): something that pays me more that minimum wage lol tbbars (11:36:45 AM): haha hiddenbeauty2286 (11:36:53 AM): maybe substitute teaching tbbars (11:37:12 AM): Like working with children then? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:38:28 AM): lol for now. I'm an aspiring actress. Before I move to hollywood I'm trying to get as much life experience as possible...something to keep me grounded and humbled. haha tbbars (11:39:10 AM): Acting's fun. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:39:28 AM): yeah...I really love it tbbars (11:39:28 AM): I did Drama at school until I dropped it a few months back. tbbars (11:39:43 AM): Then you could become a drama teacher! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:41:32 AM): lol I don't know if I want to go into full on teaching. I'd have to go back to school for that. As it is I'm still 15 credits short of graduating college. I'd have to go back for my masters to be a fully accredited teacher tbbars (11:41:57 AM): What are credits? Sorry I don't know US education well. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:43:28 AM): lol no worries. For our universities we require a certain amount of credit hours to graduate. Usually in the vicinity of 120 credit hours. I believe for every credit you have to have 60 hours worth of class time. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:43:40 AM): if that makes sense tbbars (11:43:43 AM): That's loads! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:44:05 AM): lol -shrugs- I'm just guessing...I could be very wrong hiddenbeauty2286 (11:44:16 AM): maybe it's 60 hours for 3 credits tbbars (11:44:29 AM): That's definitely a fairer way of doing it. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:45:24 AM): haha I don't really know. I've never really had to think about it before. All I know is it takes about 4 to 5 years to graduate tbbars (11:49:17 AM): It would certainly take loads of dedication. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:50:37 AM): lol our schools here aren't as dedicated as UK schools from what I understand though. tbbars (11:50:50 AM): What do you mean? hiddenbeauty2286 (11:51:59 AM): we're definitely more lax in our education and we don't have massive exams like you guys do...I don't know what they're called but I just know a few people from the UK that had to take these massive exams at the end of the school year. tbbars (11:52:35 AM): Yeah for us we have GCSEs and A-Levels. tbbars (11:52:45 AM): I finished the first year of A-Levels called AS. hiddenbeauty2286 (11:53:05 AM): lol yeah those things. We don't have those. I don't even know exactly what they are other than harder than hell. tbbars (11:53:28 AM): GCSEs are 2 year, but becoming 3 year courses now which end when you're 16 and compulsory education ends. tbbars (11:53:56 AM): A-Levels are 2 years with exams after both years, whereas GCSEs hardly do that. tbbars (11:54:09 AM): And they end when you're 18. tbbars (11:54:34 AM): Anyways, I've gotta run now. tbbars (11:54:41 AM): Nice meeting you Pansy! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:55:00 AM): nice meeting you tbbars (11:55:06 AM): ttyl! hiddenbeauty2286 (11:55:10 AM): bye!
