What a nice thread! I can't speak/write english very well, but I will post here to improve my english skills, just like Karl.

@Topic: I come from a rural area, where summertime is partytime. So I was often at home and not in the city where I go to the college. So I spent most of my summer at partys, although I should have rather studied^^'
Right now I study all day long, stupid tests-.-'

P.S. If you see some grammar mistakes, please tell me, I want to improve!
