Choosing an advanced level subject: the swiss scholarly system

A few days ago I had an interesting discussion about different scholarly systems in various countries and how they are all different. So I thought: why not post about this and show you some pictures of the school I am going to at the moment.
So the school level I am on at the moment is the gymnasium which is called "Kantonsschule. It is the level before you start studying at uni and it is four years long. Now I'm in my second year there. Before that there's middle school (which is three years) and it's split up in three different levels. The highest is Bezirksschule, the second highest Sekundarschule and the lowest Realschule. If you want to get into the gymnasium you need to finish the highest of these first. And of course before these levels we have primary school which is six years long.
The school I am at now is really cool. There is a huge variety of courses you can take, drama class, lots of languages from French to Chinese and of course music classes like BigBand, a Jazz-Workshop, Instrument lessons, Choir and even more!
The school even has its own park with some ponds and a garden which is amazing. This is because a long time ago it was a monastery (but now it hasn't got anything to do with church anymore). The food is also really nice and you can sit and study in the nice rooms the school offers like the library.
You see: I love going to school there!

Last Saturday a good friend of mine asked me if I would like to help selling tickets for a concert. Of course I would! It was really fun, we got free drinks, had a lot of time to talk and heard two free concerts! It was so cool!!
On Thursday I also went to the Fantoche Best Of where they showed the films that won the competitions at the film festival in Baden. You should check out this one, it was really fun Johnny Express.

Something that concerns me a lot...

I won't start this article with the happy thoughts and things that happened to me this week. There was something that happened on Thursday that really made me thing and concerned me a lot. I am sure you've read it on the news that an immigrant trying to enter Bulgaria was shot by the border police. The moment I heard this I thought "What on earth did humanity become?" I think this is the most awful thing you can possibly do. Some guy is trying to escape from a huge problem like war and what do you do instead of helping him: you shoot him down. I think that the view which a lot of people have on immigrants is shameful (not wanting to help and to get as less as possible in your region). Respecting your fellow human beings is what they teach you in many religions and from the moment you start kindergarten and at this point we really need to rethink what we became when the people who need help get shot down.
I am very concerned what is going to happen next, because you cannot stop the migration that is happening at the moment; So I am sure that if the immigrants will start to take down the border patrols and will no longer move forward peacefully it is going to be the end of our nice countries and the peace in which we live here.

Now I will stop talking about this because you also need to see the nice things in life. So this week autumn really started, the rain, but also the leaves falling off the trees. On our open terrace we have a Japanese oak tree whose leaves turn nice red in autumn so I decided to take some pictures of them and they turned out very nice I think :)
Also yesterday I went with two of my friends who play the trumpet to their lesson and then the teacher asked me if I would like to play with them on the piano. I find this very nice because I love making music with other people :D

Have a nice week and see you next Saturday
