On Monday, I start school. I will be attending a school called Per Brahegymnasiet, which was built in the year 1283. It is a beautiful old building that has a magical feel to it because of its age, as if it were Hogwarts.
There I will be studying full IB. IB classes are international classes that are at an international standard; they are typically more challenging than regular classes. All the classes will be in English, but I'm am taking a Swedish as a second language class as well. In addition to that, I will be taking English at a Higher Level, History, Physics at a Higher Level, Advanced Mathematics at a Higher Level, and Chemistry.
I'm focusing heavily on math and science because I someday hope to study astrophysics or quantum physics at university and work as a researcher to discover new information about these fields of work. Learning about how the world works truly fascinates me. I find these things - events that happen on the largest scale, way out in space, and the things that happen on the most minute scale within the atom - truly extraordinary.
I'm looking forward to classes. I'll endeavor to keep this blog active, even though I do not have horse information to post about.
I am envious of your big adventure! I have always wanted to see Sweden. Best of luck with school. I am sure you'll find some horses too, eventually :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! If you ever get the chance to come to Sweden, talk to me!
DeleteCongrats on getting into that school; it sounds awesome. I hope you find a way to ride though.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI work for a company that assists U.S. universities in recruiting international students, so I know all about IB! Annnd this fall we're taking a group to Sweden... too bad I won't be attending, but maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting that you do that! If you go to Sweden next year, you should definitely contact me about it!
