I don't think the systems here would allow it without much effort.

What do you mean by "the systems here"?

I set my own standards...

my own goals...

That's what my location figuratively means.

I'm willing to give a ton of effort.

Einstein recreated the universe in his head by 1915 with both of the theories of relativity (which is a bad name for the theory anyways. He was considering the name 'invariance theory'.).

I can't be like him, but I can sure as hell try.

Yes it is, she's on holiday atm, so it isn't like I can ask her...
Perhaps something sweet, but necessarily based on a hobby?

Clearly I mean the education system.
Good luck to you, personally I don't think it matters if you were a year quicker or not.

Who cares if I was a year early anyways. Lots of people here probably were.

Shouldn't have brought it up.

Good Luck to you, too,...........

I guess.

The education system can't challenge me. I can beat down anything they give me. I study very hard at whatever I do. The school system sucks here too.

Yes you were right about the standards being lowered.


But our school is offering a program that would allow me to go to Oxford for a proglonged stay. I wonder what it would be like there.

That's what I've always wondered.

What is it like over in England...?

and taking a British Humanities class while we choose one subject that we like the most, and we get an expert from that field. We get to discuss about that topic and that topic alone for about an hour or two, and write a thousand word essay on our opinion versus the facts on that subject.

Dear Christ man, don't put so much space in between everything...
England sucks, it rains all the time for a start...
😞
Is the education at Oxford free?

I've heard about that.
(Sorry for the spacing. I like to separate my ideas. I'm a bit...ADHD.)

Not exactly. But we have the funds for it.

a topic related to britain, or related to anything what-so-ever?

also, about going to uni early-i have a friend who was 16 for the entirity of first year. she's dead intelligent and has no trouble with the work it is just everything else that she has trouble with. she is 4 years younger than some of my friends, and has always drunk as much as them. it just isn't healthy...

It's very thorough.

Not fair, it costs £3000 a year per course here in tuition fees; and you get someone to pay part of that for you...🙁

You go to Oxford? Interesting.
What did it take to get accepted?
No, we pay for it out of our own hands, or at least our families do.
Our school could not afford it in the least.
The only thing we pay for is airfare and...can't really remember what else.

Oh and by the bloody way, if you haven't figured it out yet, Wolfy,
LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

So quit whining and GOI. (Get Over It.)

No, I don't go there, those fees I quoted are for every university.
