<p>uh, read what i said again. i said her english is much better than MY french. i never said anything about her french...? its easy to understand.</p>
<p>aha! All the same...
Alissa? Do you speak French? Ist dein Fransoezisch besser als Holdens?</p>
<p>I must admit, Harvard High School is an outstanding institution.</p>
<p>Why are you being condescending? The OP isn't even from America -- cut her some slack, buddy.</p>
<p>Even someone who spoke the national language of Togo would know that Harvard is a UNIVERSITY, not a high school. Excuse me, just stating the facts!</p>
<p>Justinian I, you are being rude!! but that was funny tho (the german kid).</p>
<p>Der Vinter ist oft bitterkault und der sommer ist warm und mild.</p>
<p>Hey there! I thought you decided to stop frequenting HS Life.</p>
<p>It could have been a translation issue--in French I know I didn't automatically know the difference between a "lyc</p>
<p>No, but this thread was hilarious! Otherwise, I rarely come to HS Life. Princeton High School, hah, I still find that comical!</p>
<p>We miss you here, what with everyone gone now.</p>
<p>justinian, stop it already.</p>
<p>Princeton High School exists:

<p>OOOHHH.....</p>
<p>haha a kid who goes there can say 'i go 2 princeton' and be true :)</p>
<p>Darn it, kman, I was SO going to say that... my friend's friend that goes there.</p>
<p>oh my god i always thought there was only one k-person...
kman and kchen...whoa...</p>
<p>Justinian, Give the Op a break!!!</p>
<p>Being an Int'l myself I can say that its pretty common for people to say,"Princeton, whats that?". And you can't blame them either. Unless they're interested in going abroad for studies, they don't need to know what Ivy or Stanford is. The OP must be new; and, instead of helping her, mocking her language is a pretty asinine thing to do.</p>
<p>OP, Concentrate on academics. For int'ls thats the most important thing. Try getting near perfect scores in your SATs and at school. Pretty much every int'l who applies to the Ivies, Stanfor, MIT and CalTech have really good academic records. Take part in the activities that would suite yor intended major.</p>
<p>Justinian I - I love how your very self-righteous response to orange juice contains glaring errors and has nothing to do with the gerneral context of the thread. der Winter und der Sommer (capitalization) If you are going to flaunt your 'superior intelligence' please do so with competence. And more importantly, be nice to people who don't speak English, you are not expected to speak their language.</p>
<p>Even a person who has lived in the deep jungles of Togo and Zaire know that Princeton is a University, not a high school. I thought this thread had a comical touch. Excuse me!</p>
<p>There's not the same concept of "high school" in Germany, to the best of my knowledge; students tend to specialize a bit earlier and end up in one of several tracks (the OP is probably at a Gymnasium, which is for students who plan to go on to college and allows them to choose a few "majors"). The actual term "high school" would logically seem to mean "college" if you didn't know the specific use it has here. Sort of like we would assume that someone studying at a German Gymnasium was an athlete ;)</p>
