I just don't need the first hour for credit so I've been skipping it. I'm done with school tomorrow anyway, so I felt it was sorta pointless. And my school doesn't do jack shit if you miss school. Unless, it's 15 days in a row, then you're kicked out.
EMA is what the uk government gives college students for takeing on higher education. If you fit their rules you get paid acording to your parents income to help stableise any costs require while at college. So basicaly im trying to squeeze as many weeks of mayment as possible right now untill i can get a summer job.

i still dont get the us school system i belive highschool is for ages like 14-18?

The primary language of Sweden is Swedish, a North Germanic language, related and very similar to Danish and Norwegian, but differing in pronunciation and orthography. Norwegians have little difficulty understanding Swedish and Danes can also understand it, with a bit more difficulty than the Norwegians. The area around Malmö (across from Copenhagen) has the most mutual intelligibility. The dominant language has always been Swedish, though this designation was never made official. However, with the recognition of five minority languages of Sweden (Finnish, Meänkieli, Sami, Romani and Yiddish) on April 1, 2000, the issue of whether Swedish should be declared the official language was raised. On December 7, 2005, the parliament voted, but with a count of 147 to 145 and certain voting errors the proposal failed.

A majority of Swedes, especially those born after World War II, understand and speak English thanks to trade links, the popularity of overseas travel, a strong Anglo-American influence and the tradition of subtitling rather than dubbing foreign television shows and films. English became a compulsory subject for secondary school students studying natural sciences as early as 1849, and has been a compulsory subject for all Swedish students since the late 1940s. Depending on the local school authorities, English is currently a compulsory subject between first grade and ninth grade, with all students continuing in secondary school studying English for at least another year. Most students also learn one and sometimes two additional languages, the most popular being Spanish, German, French, and Italian. Some Danish and Norwegian is at times also taught as part of the Swedish course for native speakers to emphasize differences and similarities between the languages.
Maybe England would be better.....
