Rules, Spells Wizard

From SRD:
Spellbooks: Wizards must study their spellbooks each day to prepare their spells (see Preparing Wizard Spells, page 154). A wizard cannot prepare any spell not recorded in her spellbook (except for read magic, which all wizards can prepare from memory). A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells plus three 1st-level spells of the player’s choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the wizard has (see Table 1–1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8), the spellbook holds one additional 1st-level spell. Each time the wizard achieves a new level, she gains two new spells of any level or levels that she can cast (according to her new level). For example, when Mialee achieves 5th level, she can add two 3rd-level spells to her spellbook. The wizard can also add spells found in other wizards’ spellbooks (see Adding Spells to a Wizard’s Spellbook, page 155).

I got an int of 18 that makes:
level 1: 7 st lvl
level 2: 2 st lvl
level 3: 2 nd lvl
level 4: 2 nd lvl
But do I not get "bonus" spell from being a specialist in devining? or are the 2 bonus spells incl the ones I'm specialised in?
Also when I start to make magic items (wonderous) and lose a level, what will happen with the 2 spells for reaching 4th level?
Thanks,
Laiyna

Looks right to me...
you get 1 bonus casting (per spell level) of a spell from your specialty school. I would pick at least one of your level-ups to be from your specialty school list. But go through your entire list... it may be more advantageous to pick more then one per level-up... YMMV...
According to the rules... you can't make items that will take away enough experience to frop your level, so this isn't a problem.

Your bonus diviner spell means you may prepare 1 extra spell per spell level that you are able to cast, and this must be a divination spell. You do not get any extra divination spells known. So you should be choosing at least one divination spell per spell level.
Also, you should have 5400gp worth of equipment as a 4th level character, so you could use some of that to "buy" more spells. They cost 200gp per spell level.

Well, 200gp per spell level to scribe into your spell book. You would also need to buy a scroll from which to copy (25gp x spell level x min caster level), and there might be some dice rolling involved...
Since you specialized in Divination, I believe that you are required to choose one divination spell (out of the two choices you get) each time you level.

Why would you need to buy a scroll? If it was my wizard, I would simply pay the scribing cost and say that these are the spells I have found while adventuring, unless the DM made me buy the scrolls, too. This seems excessive to me unless there was an in-game reason for the wizard to have less spells.Ki Ryn said:
Specialization does not require the wizard to choose one spell of that school each time she levels. The specialist will, however, choose at least one spell at each spell level of his specialization if he wants to make use of his bonus spell.

Well, I guess if your DM is going to give you spell sources for free, then that's just ducky for you. Personally, I don't think you could spontaneously learn a spell out of nowhere and then write it down. If a friend knew it and let you borrow his book, you could try to learn it and copy it from there. Otherwise you really should pay for it. The "starting gold" is, after all, supposed to represent all of the junk you have found during your carreer. This would include scrolls.
As for the required specialized spell choice, I'll have to look that up when I get near a PHB. Yor are right as far as the SRD is concerned though.
