You can just call me Jey. I got tired of Chacha.

Oh, okay. Hi Jey.

I'm still Wings, though recently I've been thinking of getting or using an actual nickname, not just part of my username that has a little meaning.

What are your uniforms like? Are they just shorts and a polo shirt or something?

We have to wear black skirts, a button up blouse, a tie (or cravat- the stupidest thing ever quite literally) and a blazer. It looks hideous lol. I always thought wearing home clothes was better. I think if we stuck to shorts/ trousers/ skirts and basic polo shirt it would be so much smarter.

It is a gray skirt that you have to wear shorts under and the top is a blue/gray button down blouse shirt. The good thing as a Senior(Which I am Next Year), you can wear what ever you want if it is considered business casual.

Hey!

Here is what I have to wear to school each day minus the Navy Blue sweater. I only wear that when it is really cold.

You look nice!

anyway, mine's a private school, and we don't have to wear any uniforms. But my school is, and pardon my language, a total ****hole.

I think I know what you're talking about with the onesie haha!! But with the skirt thing, like you can wear skirts, but when you put your arms at your side, the skirt can't be shorter than the ends of your fingertips, if that makes sense.

Oh, that does make sense! What if someone's arms are really long now, that's not fair haha!

Schools near my area have actually made girls wear long tartan skirts going right down to their feet, because they wore their skirts so short. But it looks so hideous- the long skirt.

We get, like, thin headbands with or without bows/flowers, and bow/flower hair clips. It is gross. Girls don't do that, but some girls like to unbutton their polos or partially unbutton their shirts and wear tank tops underneath.

Bright red looks good on Ariel and other movie characters, but not typically real people. I use monthly dyes, my mom doesn't let me use the permanent dyes and I kinda like it that way. It's healthier for hair.

It is kinda cool. And it can be kinda dangerous. You may have heard about the recent tragedies. But I think, for the most part, my neighborhood is okay. You wouldn't catch me out alone at night, but I guess I feel relatively safe.

A lot of evil people in movies are British. I guess if it's set in Britain, then it makes sense, like Bond or the recent Sherlock Holmes movies. I don't know why. Maybe your accent?(it is very cool) There are overweght Americans, but it's more dependant on how the parents let their children eat than what the country does. And if it makes you feel better, I don't tan well, I'm always pale. Or sunburned. This holiday for me was grayer than usual. But, on the other hand, I had my first white christmas, so I guess you gotta lose to get sometimes.

On the dress? Yeah. (At least, that's how it is for the elementary kids, and they sound like they have a similar dress code to these guys)

In my school, the first, second, and fourth classes, or periods, are around 90 minutes long, and third is (I think)180 minutes because we have four lunch times instead of everyone eating at the same time, and each time period is 30 minutes long. There's also the few minutes the give everyone to get there and back. We have what's called "electives" and they aren't limited, but they have to fit your schedule, and there's a certain amount of different types of classes you have to take. I would not do PE either, but we have to have some sort of sport or physical activity by the time we graduate. And religion isn't even offered at school I don't think.

We get girls that doodle on their shirts and all sorts. I mean, don't they have any self respect lol! No one really has bright red as a natural hair colour- and by bright red I mean literally bright red, so unflattering. I mean, at least you dye your hair a more subtle, natural looking and pretty red (after all I don't think they died hair in Merida's days!)

We have heard a lot about the recent tragedies- so sad. I just find it unsettling that people carry guns around in their bags and things. We don't have many guns here. They are hard to obtain. But I've also heard about these horrible fights with blades and things.

Most people's accents here aren't the stereotypical ones you hear on the tv. They are quite hideous, some accents. I do speak a little posh but not much. We had Americans compliment us on our accents at WDW but I was like 'wow no your accents are better' lol.

What state do you live in then? Is it normally quite hot? Obviously if you had snow it can't be that warm. I feel healthier with a tan so it is a shame I am so pale. My friend is like you- she just doesn't tan.

I am surprised your lessons are so long! And also, I am surprised you don't do religious studies. I thought America was pretty religious generally. We here arent very religious and still must take the lesson.

It's definitely dangerous in this country depending on where you live. Lots of gun violence. My friend from Scotland used to hit me up with questions a lot. At my school we are allowed to pick what we call Electives, which are our version of your "Options." Since high school goes from ages 15ish to 18, (four years) we need to take 4 years of English, 3 of Science, 3 of Social Studies, and 3 of Math. I usually take a study period so I can get homework done, and I take engineering courses and Spanish class. We are required to take PE, but let's face it, it doesn't do much, considering the fact that in accordance with the stereotype, many Americans are overweight. But, then again, there are some overweight people who are as healthy as a horse. And you would have to wear some kind of shrug over the dress to cover the fact that the dress has thin straps. I've gotten away with thin strapped dresses though, it sort of depends on how appropriate it is overall.

I didn't know you stayed in school till you were 18! That is a long time especially to be doing maths (yuck). We leave school at 16 and either go on to college or sixth form I think. We only take four subjects so I want to take French, government and politics, economics and business studies. No maths for me! What on earth is social studies? We have PSHE which is about social issues so maybe it's like that.

Wow you take engineering- that's adventurous. Is that what you plan to do in the future? Many Brits are getting overweight too so we are catching up. I would say 3/5 people here are overweight. Oh, you mean a shawl? That would look quite glamourous with a dress! I'm surprised you don't get into trouble for breaking the dress code- I would be at my school.

Oh, okay. Hi Jey.

Heya Wings! Actual nicknames are great. What is your actual name? Maybe you could get a nickname from that.

That sounds really cute. How old is a senior? Sorry lol I'm clueless. My village sixth form has to wear business dress like yours so men must wear suits and women smart dresses or suits.

Hello...! I'm meg, nice to meet you and happy new year

Hiya. Buisiness casual? Yeeks, I can't imagine dressing like that every day.

Me either. I like pretty dresses and skirts. Trousers are okay depending on whether they flatter me. I've had enough of uniform lol.

That is such a nice uniform Sam! It looks smart and comfortable. And I'm guessing it's you in it, you look really nice too

I didn't know private schools were beep-holes lol. My public school is, but I guess that's to be expected. That sentence sounded wrong because you said 'we don't have to wear any clothing' lol!

Well, I guess that would solve the problem. But I guess some schools don't really think about what their students will look like in the uniforms.

I mean, in my school we get some.........odd sorts but I haven't heard of some stuff you've said, like the drawing on shirts. When I read that I thought, "Is that really the most appropriate place for your artwork?" (I think the hair dying came later on)

It is really sad. Why would you at all think it was a good idea to go to a school and shoot children?! There are a lot of guns here. Too much in my opinion. That doesn't sound good. I think the fights at school are fistfights, but I have a feeling some of the boys at school probably own Swiss Army knives or something like that.

Oh really? That's interesting. And to think if we all lived in the same place then we'd all probably sound the same.

I'm in Texas, and it can get pretty hot in the summers. Last winter was actually pretty mild. But this winter is colder. And the winter before last, we had one week when me and my bro went to school on Monday, it snowed overnight so the buses couldn't drive on Tuesday, and there was still ice the rest of the week so we got four days out of school.

With the religion, it really depends on where you live. My parents tod me that when we first moved from Canada (when we first moved to America, I was two, and then when we moved to my current home I was three, so I don't remember much), they would meet somebody and they'd ask my parents what their name was and what church they went to. It surprised my parents because people went to church in Canada but they didn't talk about it or make it a big deal. Which makes me think that there's other places where it isn't such a big deal. We have a religious club of sorts, but no classes that I can think of.

How my classes work is that we have four one day, four different ones the second day, and then the first set on the third day, and it continues in a pattern. So, that is partially why we spend so much time on them, because we can. After we graduate at 18, we can go onto college, or a trade school, or something like that. We have to take our "core" classes (science, history, english , math), and tghen we get other types of classes like arts, other kinds of sciences(sociology, psychology), sports, home ec type courses, business, trade, the yearbook/newspaper, etc. Social studies is basically history, but it can also involve geography.

Well, um, that's kind of why I have a nickname, because I'm not exactly allowed to use my nane on the internet. Unfortunately, all my real life nicknames are derived(spelling?) from my first name.

Senior is the top grade, 12th grade. They typicaly reach 18 that school year, unless they were born in the summer or something like that.

I don't usually mind my uniform so much because I can still dress sort of how I like and still stay within the boundaries. Plus we can wear our school t-shirts on Fridays and occasionally we get days where we can wear jeans. Shirts still have to be tucked in, but it's still nice.

Thank You.

Yeah it is ok comfortable and yes it is me and thank you. Also a Senior is usually 17-18 years old. I skipped the 7th grade so I am going to graduate a year early.

Since the weekend is approaching does anyone have any plans? I think I might go shopping with my friends, but that isn't etched in stone.

If I'm not busy after the mall or with friends, probably watching some Doctor Who with a former DISer through text.
