Really? The Atlantic Ocean's warmer?
And yeah, I guess it is a bit cold, but you'll get used to it... eventually.

Yes due to deep water currents I believe. We learned it in science class last year. I'm kinda looking forward to going home though. Not that it's been a crappy vacation it's just that I'm pumped to prepare for school next year. My grades are going to be counted towards my GPA so I'm a little nervous.

That's quite an interesting fact. 
I'm sure you'll do fine. Don't worry.
Any idea of which classes you'll be taking next year?

You get to take eight classes?
My school only allows seven classes, and I can only take six next year because Biology AP is actually two hours long.
Good luck though!

English 2A (English 2 Honors)
Math Analysis (Pre-Calculus)
Biology AP
World History AP
Spanish 2
Nursing Elements
The Nursing Elements class is for the Health Academy at school. I want to drop out of it and get P.E. over with though, since it might get in my way of getting an IB Diploma.

IB stands for International Baccalaureate.
IB classes are like AP classes, but are (arguably, since some people think the difficulty level is the same) harder/more advanced than AP classes, and you take them during your Junior and Senior year.

Hm. Well. some people say that IB classes are more difficult than college, so they prepare you for college, and once you get into college, it'll seem easier by comparison.
I've also been told that you earn college credits by taking IB classes, and if you earn enough college credits, you can skip a year in college.
You earn an IB Diploma by taking and passing all the required IB classes, but you can just get an IB Certificate by taking one or two IB classes instead.
