Well thank you! We have classes on sewing in school, don’t you guys have that?

I do!

Well at least I did before I went to college

Nice! I am actually sewing that dress for class… it’s turning out pretty good!

Glad to hear it

Nope never had any classes on sewing at my school… At least not in the years i attended. Mom taught me a little bit at some point, but I'd say the difference between being able to hem a dishtowel and making a whole dress is pretty huge…

Pretty huge, yeah… lol

But on the bright side i can sew dish towels 😉

Yep! I’ll remember to contact you if I ever need a professionally sewn dishtowel haha

Better not seeing as i have limited access to cloth and threads but yeah, it's the thought that counts…
What other cool classes do you have if you learn stuff like sewing at school?

Um… is woodworking cool? We have a kind of home-skills klass were we learn to do stuff like cooking, cleaning, washing, a bit economy and those kind of things too. In the sewing class that is actually called ’textile crafts’ we also learn to knit and stuff like that.

!!!!! That is all very very cool!!!

Haha thanks

Over here we have woodwork and product design, textiles, and home economics (more commonly known as food technology)

We didn't really have stuff like that at our school, at least not in the higher year levels… It was incredibly academically focused. Academics and sports.
But I've also left, so who knows what kind of classes they're offering now

Fair enough, to be honest I haven't been at school for 2 years so I have no idea what the curriculum is like now. It used to be English, Maths, Science, a language, a humanity subject, RE, ICT, DT, PD, FT, Textiles, Art, Performing Arts, and PE. When I reached year 9, everything changed for exams and stuff so I only did English, Maths, Science, History, Art, French, RE, and ICT. If I could go back, I would have taken Music instead of RE because boi that crap was boring (only thing I liked about RE was the fact there were only 2 or 3 of us in the class)
I used to have 1-2-1 singing sessions, but then because I didn't take Music for my exams they cut my sessions..
It was also really stupid when it came to languages. I was taught French when I was at secondary school (aged 11-16), because they told me I wasn't "dumb enough to do Spanish" (basically calling everyone who had to do Spanish as their language, idiots).
When I was in year 3 I was taught Chinese and French, year 7 I was taught German, Italian, Spanish and French, then from Year 8 until I left I was taught French. It was so stupid..

I am learning German right now. We had the opportunity to choose a fourth language as well, but I chose to work at the school paper instead. Sadly, the paper was cancelled for my grade (the other grades were still working on it though) because not enough people wanted to do it and every grade had sepparate classes for school paper. Instead, I had to take some kind of stupid ’meditation and balance’-class for the entire year, cause there were no other spots available in the other classes.

I’m in school and we are talking politics… Everyone is arguing and debatting and I am super bored, politics don’t interest me at all honestly… Anyone online?

Y'all also lowkey on fire bc of the elections?

Exactly

Same

Although my class is more like highkey on fire… there are debates and discussions almost 24/7

It's a struggle… I'm not at school anymore so I'm glad that's not an issue for me
But the news and the German speaking Internet are kind of also high key on fire

I just ignore everything to do with politics. I don't want any part in it, therefore I keep myself blind to what goes on. Besides, the more I hear about the government and stuff the more I think about what could happen in the future and boy does it make me upset

Right now I feel like all the political parties in Sweden are complete messes, so I too try to stay out of it as much as I can. It’s a hit hard to stay blind to it though since it’s on the news all the time and talking about it in school is part of our education and something we get grades on.
