Exchange Year In Torquay: Teachers, Subjects and Chinese Food

The two-week-mark is coming soon.. :D

I cant believe how quick time flies.. I had three schooldays now and I had every subject at least one time. So in this post I am going to introduce you guys my subjects and the teachers :3

I could only choose four subjects because of the A-Levels here. Lets begin ;)

Sunny weather *__*

Maths:
Math here in England is very very simple. I heard rumors about it but didnt expected that math will be so relaxed here. We are doing quadratic equation right now. The students here do not really have problems with it but they need twice or more time than I do to solve the questions here. The teacher in math is nice, he helps really everyone in the course who has any problems. He knows that we German exchange students already learned this so he gave us extra work. But the extra work is comparable with the lesson in 8th grade in Germany :D
The course has about ten students so the atmosphere is very nice, we are learning very quick and we will have our first test in two weeks. I am looking forward it.

Solve these in 2 hours! ;D

Engineering:

I only had engineering one lesson because I realized that I wont understand much during the lesson. The students in this course have all background information because they are learning engineering for more than three years... The teacher gave us the mission to create a selfmade product. So we had to draw it, doing reseach and in the end we had to build a prototype... My classmate planned to build a flashlight which will change the colour depending on the temperature... Thats for me impossible I dont even know how to build a flashlight xD Okay if you give me some time and I could do it xD
The teacher was very nice to me, she helped me a lot but I decided to cancel this subject.. Way to hard for me and it is nearly impossible to get the knowledge in a few month which the student have now.

Applied Business:
This course is filled with students o.O On my first lesson I had to knee on the ground because we couldnt find any chairs... But we moved later to a bigger room :3 The content in this subject is learning how a business is going to work. The teacher talks very very much in a very very fast way. I can understand her but its very exhausting... I wont cancel this subject even though its very stressful. The teacher is talking all the time and we just have to listen and write down everything she is going to say yet I am very interested how to run a business.

I will need this in future...

Psychology:
Most epic subject I ever had! I love this subject!! The teacher has a lot of humor and teaches us with more entertainment than with strict speeches. We learned today much about remembering things such as names. He used me as a test object and wanted to find out how quick I could remember the names of all students in this course. We are nearly twenty so I needed some time but now I can list everyone :D I am curious if I can list them in the next lesson ;) The student in this course are paying more attention if I am going to say something. Everytime the teacher called my name they looked at me and smiled everytime if I did a mistake. 80% of this course are girls and they "awwwed" everytime if I made a mistake. Its quite amusing and sometimes very funny xD
Psychology is right now the only subject which fits me most. I am very interested to learn more about the acting of humans and why they are acting this way. I hope I can learn very much in this course.
On Monday I have triple psychologie so I am really looking forward to it.. Yeah you read it right. I am interested in a subject in school :DD Amazing or? ;)

So exept engineering I will keep the subjects. The only thing is the long way.. I am still thinking about changing school, my hostmother had yesterday a talk with my local coordinator here. She said that it is possible to change to Westlands but it wont go so easily... My local coordinator will have today a little talk with the head teacher from Westlands and I am praying all the time that I can change. Luckily they also offers psychology and math so if they would take me I will go on with these subjects. Sadly I dont know if they offer applied business but if they do I will also choose it I think.
Enough school talk xD Yesterday I went to town with Jimmy at 4 o clock. He met his friends from Macao and I was meeting my Germany friends. We discovered a nice place to relax and went later to an Chinese restaurant. The meal was not cheap but we were all satisfied. I ordered the Peking Duck and also King Prawns with mushrooms, soo tasty *__*
For five persons we payed 65 Pounds, but we had a really nice evening :3
My skin is getting better, I am suspicious if my skin is telling me to eat more Chinese food xD

Peking Duck *__* :D

King Prawns with Mushrooms :3

We are very lucky right now, the sun will shine the whole week and we just had one day which was rainy..
Its still pretty could in the morning, about 5° C...-.-
I am now waiting for Nikki to tell me more about the school change, hopefully it is possible o__o
I also watched the new Iphone 5 video yesterday and yeah.. Those of you who knows me well can imagin what I am going to do in a few days... ;)
I will post in two days again, leave a comment, have a nice day and see you soon :)
