Gymnasium, I guess? Enjoy! I did last year, and I would love to go through the last two weeks again 
Sure is, and yes, the final two weeks will be absolutely awesome. Our graduation drive (don't know how to put that in English) will last 5 days because we have to go to some many different towns to get to everyone's place. I can't wait for that and nor can I wait to finally get my hat in one week precisely
5 days? That's a lot. We were all over Zealand, and that didn't last for 5 days 
Anyway, it's worth the three years. That's for sure. I guess we won't see you much the upcoming weeks 
The coming week I might be a whole lot of active but then when I'm over my history exam I might go awol for a couple of weeks

Still three more weeks until I have to turn in my 4-month project and the accompanying detailed 100 page report on it, minuciously justifying every little decision I took. Help me 
And after that, I have one week to prepare a presentation where I'll have to present my work to a panel of experts who will ask me 45 mins of questions about my project designed to make it seem horrible and basically rub me in the dirt. And I have to be able to defend it and myself.
Whoever said getting a master's degree is fun should be shot repeatedly at close range with a shotgun after being tied up, dowsed in sugar and left inside a nest of hornets for a week or two.
Basically, in 5 weeks I'm as free as a bird. Until then...hell
Plus, the partying is behind me. I got the hat, cane and all the apparatus about a month ago.

Well, after the degree in Computer Engineering, I had 4 options for my master's degree:
- Networks
- Software Engineering
- Multimedia
- Free for All
I took the last one, meaning I don't have a "specialization" (I can work on pretty much anything) and I got to choose all the classes I wanted to take, with no restrictions 
So, what I'm getting at is that it's really a "generic" Software Engineering masters, not a really specific one.
Basically, I'm on the final semester which is an internship at a corporation. I have 4 months to do an entire project on my own while working for that corporation and I have to justify it.

it's where I'm going "after hell"
I should've landed there earlier, but "life" got in the way

I'm going to do what a lot of people seems to be doing after Gymnasium, I'm going to take a year off to work. After that I'm going to a University, either in Aarhus or Odense, to become a journalist most likely. I actually went to Odense to try out the entrance eximination and I passed it despite doing horribly in the '50 questions test' Nevertheless I decided I wanted a year off as my effort in school has gone down drastically during my third year in Gymnasium, so I figured I'd be better off recharging the batteries a year's time

Good luck is all I can say. Although I feel obligated to warn you: most people I've met that took that year-long break found it twice as hard to get into the rhythm when they finally got to college.
Most of them went back to work. A lot of them never actually left work. It's hard to leave for what's a bit unknown when you've got a sure thing.
What area do you want to get a degree in, if I may ask?

I think the job I have will make me want to go back to school after a year, so I have no worries in that department.
About the area. If I decide to get into the University of Aarhus, there's no real option to specialize within a specific area of journalism, but at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, a part of the education is to specialize within a specific field of journalism. Politics, sports whatever, and surely I would like to be in the sports department

Isso: Not that I disagree with you, but in Denmark, it's very normal to take a year off after high scool. I haven't meet one person at my university yet who's at my age, because they have all taken a year (or more) off.
A_Schleck: Same plans as me then, although I'm taking the journalist education at Roskilde University. I didn't want to go to neither Aarhus University nor Odense, because I wanted to stay here at Zealand. That said, I think Aarhus' education is the best one available in Denmark.
About the 50 questions test (which is the only one I have had a look at), it was difficult, but as far as I remember, I did quite good
Anyway, good luck with it all. |

Thats what i've heard too. Both my parents are journalists, and according to them Aarhus is better than Roskilde |

I don't doubt that. On the other hand, Roskilde's one is the longest of the ones available Also, it focuses entirely on the writing journalists, not the tv-journalists unlike Odense. |

There's no gap here in Spain between school and college studies, although high grades seem a bit difficult for most students, since a vast majority of the people who enters the University decides to leave it / change their speciality after the first year. This difference between people's attitude after the school period in both Scandinavian countries and mine mut have to do with the difficulty. College's entry exams are sooooo easy here, as well as the last two grades (Bachelor).
Edit: btw. I'm also aiming to become a sports journalist A_Schleck, even though there's no way to get specialized (only an optative subject at 5th - last course).
