That's actually really cool, and how things should be. No, we don't have psychogy in school either, I meant for uni. I think I didn't do a good job at explaining :/ those who want to be psychologists at uni, choose the theoretical subjects in school, but those who want to become doctors, choose the science subjects in school. Yeah, I was attending the theoritical classes when I was at school, but only because they were easier. I'd already decided back then to not sit for the final exams, cause I wasn't interested in getting into university at the time.

Oh boy, we do. But we have extracurricular classes for every school subject. It's ridiculous! But we kind of have to. I mean, our final exams determine which university we'll go to, depending on our grades. School isn't enough to learn those things, cause most teachers don't care. I don't know how to explain this, but we also have different divisions at school during the last two years of highschool. So someone who is interested in psychology, will be taking theoretical classes (Greek language, latin, literature), whereas someone who is interested in economics, will be taking "science" classes (math, physics, chemistry). We start preparing for the final exams 2 years before, and the grades on those subjects are the most important thing for each "division". I talk to much dammit, and I don't know if I'm making sense. Uhm, probably the same things you said haha!

That sucks. Do you guys have extracurricular classes there? Random question: what's your favourite and least favourite thing about Australia?

What the hell? What kind of teachers are these? This is so much different than the educational system experience I've been accustomed with. I had to google "extrapolate" by the way. Yeah, I might look into that once I'm in uni. I want to see what kind of options I have first, before deciding on my Masters field. I'd like to ask the professors' opinions. Yes I do! Brains are truly fascinating! And scary at the same time. Good luck with your test! Let me know how it goes

That's a good start. It's similar to what I did after school, when I wasn't sure what to do, and didn't know that leaving Greece was an option. So I worked at my parents' restaurant until I figured it out. At first I wanted to be a criminologist, but psychology ended up fascinating me more. Let me know if you ever need any help with that. I'm sorry to hear that :/ are you good at chemistry? Tomorrow's your last exam, right?

Maybe you'll be able to do that when you're older. Now that I think about it, I suppose money and proximity are the reasons I have more European countries on my list. Thank you! That's true; it sounds ridiculous. So will you be going to university in Australia or are you thinking of studying abroad?

I'm more into European countries to be honest, although I don't know why! But Asia, America, and Australia are also on my list. That's so awesome! My name's Georgia, and I was named after my grandfather. It's tradition. Although, nowadays, younger people tend to choose whatever name they want

Now I can't look at Bob Ross without being reminded of you. It's like "ew" with the doctor

What was it like there? Travelling sounds so much fun! Mostly places I'd like to visit, some foods, animals that I'd like to see, and stuff like that! Mainly experiences, and not many objects. I have another irrelevant question. How did your parents choose your name? Which I love by the way!

Thank you! That must have been amazing! Wooow, Asia is big! How did you manage to do that? I've never been abroad, but there are so many places I'd love to visit! Do you have a bucket list?

I wish I had a nice voice! But I'm really glad you do, and I hope you're able to succeed in anything you want to do! Yes, let's do that! We can make our own movies together and work our way to the top :p off topic, but have you ever been abroad?

We also share the same birthday! Definitely film. I'd like to be able to have as many chances as I want to get it right, in case I make a mistake. Although, theatre is nice as well, provided that you practise a lot. I'm pretty shy, so a live audience would make me nervous. Which one are you most interested in?

Αre you kidding? I love acting as well! But I think it's kind of risky, and I also thought of persuing it as a hobby while studying psychology! I've always wanted to become an actress! I'm not even joking! How awesome!

Thank you! I like being responsible! I'll be studying psychology in September. I know I'm older than most people starting university, but it's never too late to do what you want. What are you interested in doing after school?

I suppose I can relate to that one, although my parents didn't want me to specifically be a doctor. To be honest, it doesn't feel different at all. I still live with my parents (but that's another story), so I haven't experienced the responsibilities of leaving completely alone yet. But I cook my own food, do the housework, pay for my own groceries and other expenses etc. I don't sit around all day and expect them to take care of me. I've been able to do things I wanted from a really young age, so it wasn't like I was expecting to be 18 to finally be "free". Hence why I don't feel any different. But I was never spoiled

That's true haha! Left out of the family. I'm only asking because you said they sometimes tend to forget about you.

Alright. Yeah, I think that he'll be the one to come to you with his problems first! But you'll have the chance to do that later, when he's older. Until then, that's what friends are for. Hmm, do you feel left out?

I can't complain; I like not being annoyed! But sometimes I get pretty lonely, and wish I had that kind of relationship with someone. My best friend is the closest I have to a sibling. Uuhm, not really, actually. I've never felt that kind of pressure. I'm afraid of disappointing people, but I think that that's what my personality is like in general. I don't know if that comes from me being an only child. By the way, let me know if I don't make sense sometimes, and excuse any grammar mistakes haha.

Aaah, that's so cool! I only speak English, but I'd like to learn as many languages as I can. We had French in school, but it's been years, so I don't remember much. Do you have any siblings?
