Drawback of being left-handed

The today's society is right-handed. However some people are left-handed, they are a minority. Statistics say that only around 10 per cent of the population rather do things with left than with right.
I'm left-handed and a girl. It sound weird but I only know other left-hander, they are male. So my question: Is there anybody behind the screen which is one either?
Sometimes I feel like an interloper. This world is for right-hander. Actually I'm proud to be part of a minority, the left-handers. Nevertheless I have problems with standarts, the majority won't understand.

1. Drive a car in Germany. Since it isn't a left-hand friendly. Here is legal dealings. That says gear change is right. I have had my driver licence since August and admittadly my right hand confound the gears. Furthermore the hand break is right, every time I need my left hand supporting thight it. I think with left-handed traffic it would be a lot easier for me to drive a car.

2. I would like to by a camera. Nevertheless I'm not able to have the right eye open and the left closed. It's changed. Left open and right closed, I tried to learn the other option but failed. So that is the problem. In normal you hold cameras with right and look in with the right eye. I searched, there is no camera which you can hold with left! Bad Luck, for me. In the Internet it says we have no need for such cameras and the development costs are to high. Seriously? Right hander, you only have to mirror the things. Is it so difficult? You won't have more developement costs than with normal cameras.

3. Another Drawback is when you are in school. Some examples, every left-hander knows.

Drawing or writing with left could be smeared and your hand is colored.

The spiral bound is always left. You can't write than.

You always have to bring your own things. Especially siccors.

4. When you are anywhere where you have to sign something. Often the biro is fixed right on a twine and it's absolutely annoying when the twine is short for writing with that ballpointer with your left hand.

5. In times where smartphones are used every day we could think it doesn't matter with wich hand you apply it. That's wrong. A lot of phones have their grit on the left side, so when you use it with left the rate isn't that high than with right. Maybe one or another knows the onehand keyboard. I'm not allowed to use that. My phone have one only for right-handed People.

My one hand keyboard.

Do you know these problems, when you are a left-hander, either? I'm sure there are a lot more aspects which are differ the handness and have their drawback. Hope you enjoyed the persecution of a left-hander.

Every point counts!

I've finished my first semester out of 4 senior semesters. I read that in the USA students from the 12th grade are called seniors but it's there the last grade before college or university. Here in Germany it's a little bit different, we have grammar schools (here called Gymnasium) they takes until grade 12 and 13. There is a big differencial between the single schools.Do you want to know more about the education system in Germany?

I already told you that I'm going to a vocational grammar school and why I've choose that school. Click here and read more about it.

Last year I was in year 11 and today's year 12 but my higher education entrance qualification will be in year 13. It's the graduation here in Germany which that you are able to study at University or college. Nevertheless I like to call these two years 12 and 13 senior year, because they are important for my graduation.

Last year we've got marks between the numbers 1 and 6. One was the best and six the worth. This year the grading changed a lot. In every test you are writing you can reach 15 points if you are good enough. The skale is between 0 and 15, the more points the merrior.

Hence the points will be count for every single subject and divided by the number of test. The result is than your subject points in this semester. However sometimes your points you reached in a test can change your whole points a lot.
I was really good in sports until the last performance where I only reached 5 points, so sports fall down to 9 points although I've had another performance with 15 points.

All your points from every semester will be count. That will be one part of your graduation grade. You can reach in every semester 150 points, so all in all for this part 600 points. The other 300 points you can reach with writing 5 exams.
It's really importat to reach points because one point can decide about everything. One point less than 5 means that you failed when you have more fails than liced, you won't have the graduation.

In this semester I reached 87 points out of 150 and admintally I'm not pleased with that result. Hopefully I'll learn the next semester more than now.
Do you also have your grading in points and are you pleased with the semester result?

STRESS

Christmas stress, I think everybody knows that normal kind of stress before the christmas eve. Hunderts of presents want to be packaged and finding the right present for your sister, mother, father or a friend could be so difficult. We love all these people and want to see this bright smile in their face when they'll open the gift of us. Nevertheless we students doesn't have so much money that we are allowed to buy the perfect one which could be expensive, than the alternatives have their chance and these thinks in the store for the lower buget. I've already bought the most presenst two weeks ago and I'm really happy about that. Now, I only have to make the selfmade presents however is that also work.
Knitting a scarf and bandana until Christmas eve is a challenge. The time is running. Though I have to sew a bag, too.
Albeit my life isn't that 'looking forward to Christmas' at the moment. Since two weeks claim the school from me everything. Within these days it's the reason why I wasn't allowed to write here something. I had two exams last week which were horrible for me. This week I've written three exams in the space of two days. When i'll get them back, they wont be a good grade. It's so annoying!

the weekend persuit

Aside from that I have to write a project paper about ten sites until thursday. Actually a classmate celebrated his birthday at the weekend but since Friday 4pm I was living in the cellar for writing this project paper. My nerves were frazzled, hardly any sleep and the science that I'll have to learn for the exams either. I haven't been finished with this project paper because the layout makes problems, when than the pdf data won't work at 2am is it quite a bilious temper.
In case if you'll have one day such a situation, the dart board is a good agression. Normal my darts land anywhere in the room two meters far away from it but at this 2am my darts were like in a wonder on the dart board, all of them!!

I've only taken all darts and look they are on the board

So than we have normal christmas stress, school stress but there is also a third stress which I have for plenty of time. My parents. They are like enemies especially before Chrismas or Birthdays. They have so much stress with each other. It's so inksome for me, they handle like little childs and argue often. It's a reason for no drinking alcohol. A lot of friends had already asked my why not but I haven't wanted to say anybody this with my broken family. I'm afraid of drinking and than saying anybody it, because it hurt my heart to much. Nevertheless now before Christmas it's worst. They can't give each other the hand and looking in the eyes. My mum have their midlife crisis and alleg my dad an us (the childs) everything we ever done wrong in their eyes. Or even what she had done for us. I only want that that nightmare will end. Yes, at the moment for me it isn't important which solution but I want that they'll find one with which everybody can live. I'm afraid of saying all these things about my family when I drink some alcohol, because I know that I get fast drunken. Sometimes I wish I only can open my heart in real and say how I'm feeling to people I love because they are my friends but than I would say a friend that I'm not sure if I have feelings for him. Yes, I'm afraid of getting a more broken heart than now, because my best friends for a long time hurted me.

Nevertheless I with you all a great Christmas time and hope you don't have this stress like me. If yes, I'll always have an open ear for you. You only have to contact me, it could be a little bit research on my blog but i promise it works.
Sorry last time my English isn't that great.

One months later...

The first thing I have to admit, that the post I talking about in the last post haven't existed until today. So, one months later, at the same point, the same blog and the same human behind the screen.

I'm so sorry

Maybe I excuse myself in every new post again. I'll stop that and keep my promises. The blog can't work with that person who I am at the moment. Terrible is a word for that, I think. 
We won't talk about that stupid human anymore which is writing this blog, ok? 
In one months could happen a lot of things. When you looking back one months ago, what was different, what was special about this day in august? Tell me it. 
The time is running all day long, we couldn't fill out twenty hours a day, day by day in a week with activities. No matter if we have our summer holidays ( which are in our past and future) or a normal school day. Every day is different but sometimes simular to the other ones. Especially the school days, monday until friday. The alarm clock is rining every day at six o'clock, get the bus means to go out at 6:35 o'clock out of the house and than take a ride by train. Time, plenty of time which you can miss. Public transportation takes its time, when you are living in a little village outside of the city. Who know that? Bus rides, train delays, waiting for the public transportation and a walk home. The problem isn't only the shuttel between home and school. The biggest problem is that the public transportation doesn't like you because everytime you have to miss your train because of two minutes. So the waiting time is big, in normal more than one hour. All this isn't your fault. The bus could drive a little bit faster, so that you could have catched your train or the teacher wouldn't let you go earlier of the lesson. That is typical for our days in school. The stress is here because after an eight hour school day the desire for going home is big. Waiting is the horrible nerve accompaniment at an exhausting day. The public transportation is my personal time waster. When you are interested in I can listing you which time I consume with waiting and be by public transportation.  What is your experience with the daily school/work drive? 
Hope this more or less much text was ok for you. I 've forgotten how I have to write textes especially in English.  

Something about school

I hope that won't be one more boring post about school in the Internet. Nevertheless I can't promise.

I live in Bavaria but since September I'm going to school in Baden Würrtemberg, a neighbour state of Bavaria. Every morning and afternoon I drive by bus and train around one hour. Some days in the week I drive in the afternoon two hours by bus and train, because of the second busdrive takes more time at this time of day than normal.

The question will be, why I don't go to a normal school in the little city next to my village? It's a long story and I only want to say a few words about it. Last year I've done my graduation at a higher secondary school in this little city, than I've decided that I want to do my Abitur ( the graduation you need to be at University). Therfore I'm going to a vocational grammar school in Baden Würrtemberg. Bavaria also have such schools but there are a few differences. I will tell you another day more about the school system and the schools here in Germany, because that would be to long in here.  

My school has around four thousand students. The reason is there are two schools in one: The technical professional school and the technic orientate vocational grammar school. It says, that our specialist areas all out of the technic. When you want to do your Abitur at this School you have to choose out of three of them:

 Engineering and Management, Informationtechnology(I've choosen) and last but not least Mechatronic.

My timetable

We are two girls in my class and twenty six boys. My year has eleven girls and around hundert ten boys. Do you notice something? Ninety per cent of the students are boys.

I love this school, far away from girls they think they are better than everyone else. Of course, here are also a few boys they think the same like the girls but it's easy to be ok with them. The boys I know respect me and talk normal with me at the most time. I don't know if you ever was in a class with more boys than girls but I can say that it wouldn't be boring anytime in school. How is your class?

One thing I will never make used are these situations: When you are walking alone through one of the schoolhouses. Everywhere are standing boys and they are staring at you like they are the spectators on the Fashion Week. No matter if you are pretty or not, it's  only because you are a girl. They don't see a lot of us in school. I hate it inasmuch as I feel me under observation. What can I do against this hate and how would you act in my Situation?

A few years ago I was against going to a class with a lot more boys than girls, but now it has changed. I love my decision and the other class life. Thank you
