back&getting ready for school

OK, it's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I'll summarize whats happened in the past week or so.
Last week I was in Seattle, you can see the pictures through the link in my last post. I returned to Toronto on the 25th and I moved into where I'm living now on the 26th, here are the photos

Then, on the 27th I went to the local school board to take a test on my English and Math, after a few hour they decided that I should be in 11th grade according to my age,almost 16, and the results of my tests,11or12th grade in reading comprehension and passing 10th grade math, so I'll be going into 11th grade at Jarvis Collegiate Institute here,skipping 10th grade......

Anyway, it'll be a tough semester here,I'm taking 8 courses here: The Individual and the Economy, English, Healthy Active Living Education (co-ed), Functions(Math), Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer and Information Science, all 11th grade courses and,of course, all in English. And at the same time I'll be studying the 10th grade material of my school back in Taiwan, Jianguo High School , which makes it a double work-load. The only good thing is that school here only starts at 8:50 and even later, 9:55, on Wednesday and ends a 15:10, school hours are much shorter than those in Taiwan.
I'll be starting school on 9/2, I'll post more later, after school starts.
