During the week, I go to school. Yes, I love school. I love spending time with my friends. I love Belgium. But there's nothing BIG to write about.
Wednesday I went to Liege with Emma and we went shopping. It was fun, even though it was raining. We searched around the entire city for a specific waffle place she had been to once before, and yes the waffles were delicious (filled with chocolate- num!). After that I spent the night at her house, which was lovely.
Today I received the equivalent of a report card from school. The thing about Belgium grades is that they are nowhere near the same in America. First of all, they are graded out of 20. Not an A, B, C scale. Secondly, they hold true to the supposed American statement that "a C is average". Here, 15/20 is good.
My grades are as follows:
French: 10.5/20
Gym: 15/20
Sciences: 16.5/20
English: 18/20
Math: 19/20
History, Religion and Geography I was not given a grade, but I believe the other students weren't either. I'm not sure why.
I'm happy with my science grade. I think I deserved at 20 in math, seeing as I haven't missed a point all year, but I guess they never really give out 20s. I am content with my French grade, although I hope it improves. My gym grade I do not understand at all. I participate in gym, I was even in the top five for our fitness test at the beginning of the year (yes, I know, you're all shocked!). So why do I only have a 15???
But yes. There's my report card. It's been better, it's been worse. Life goes on.
That's all I'm going to write about for tonight.
today I appreciate: memories
dear Talia, congrats on your grades, they are pretty good! It's about as the same grades system as in France, i guess.
ReplyDeleteWell, i may have an answer about you wondering about having some grades now. In my high school, it was the same thing, we and our parents were told of our grades around the middle of the first trimester, just for us to know how we were doing half way through the trimester. And sometimes there are no grade because we didn't take any tests yet.
So, well, idk, but that can be an answer!
