Wow, I'm a medical student in the UK and have never heard of students wearing compression stockings!

In answer to your question, yes it's correct in a kind of slang way, as if you were sending a text to a friend. If you wanted to make it completely correct, you'd have to put "I've" at the beginning (and I'd probably say stockings, not socks) so it'd be "I've got myself a pair of compression stockings for my surgery rotations".

Hi,

In the UK we start school aged 4 and then are in primary school for seven years until we are 11. Then you move school and go to a secondary school which usually goes up to age 16 or 18. At 16 we take GCSE exams which mark the end of compulsory schooling. You do however, have to be in some sort of education until you're 17, and that can either be at school, at a college or in some sort of apprenticeship.

If you carry on at school until you are 18 you will usually study for A-levels or the IB (international baccalaureate) which are both academic qualifications. With A-levels you usually do 3 or 4 subjects and you have a completely free choice (or at least it's only limited by the subjects your school offers). With IB you have to do more subjects and there are some that are compulsory (Maths and English I think).

If you go to college when you are 16, there is usually a much bigger choice of qualifications to do than at school. Most colleges offer A-levels, but also lots of BTECs which are very varied and offered at different levels. Some are more academic than others but some give you much more of a vocational training so you are trained to do a particular job.

After doing A-levels, IB or BTECs lots of people will then go to uni, and all of these qualifications are suitable for going to uni. A typical bachelors degree in the UK is 3 years long, but there are longer degrees, such as medicine and dentistry, which are both 5 years.

Hope this helps!

Wochenende

Hallo,

Dieses Wochenende hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, aber es ist war auch irgendwie traurig, weil meiner guter Freund wirdst jetzt in einer anderen Stadt wohnen wird, also gestern war sein "good bye" Feier (oder Abschiedsfeier). Wir und mehr Freunden sind mit anderen Freunden von der Arbeit haben gegangen zu einigen Kneipen gegangen, und haben wir getrunken und wir eerinerten die guten Zeiten erinnert.

Ich werde morgen sowieso morgen werde ich surfen gehen mit einem anderenen Freund surfen gehen, und ich freue mich sehr, das zu auf dass tun. Ich hoffe, dass die Wellen morgen gutesein werden(oder Präsens: Ich hoffe, dass die Wellen morgen gut sind), und dass es wird windig nicht sein wird. Aber zumindest, scheint die Sonne jetzt in San Diego jetzt die Sonne scheint, und dass Wetter ist warm (und das Wasser immer sehr kalt).

Das war echt gut :) nur die Reihenfolge der Wörter war manchmal ein bisschen durcheinander.

That was really good, just the order of the words was sometimes a bit mixed up.
