Hello fellow TLers!

I'm recording more thoughts on my life due to the fact that I need to express them and I doubt that anyone I know in real life will see this.

1. Studying

I feel like a slacker lately. Mainly due to senioritis but when it comes to Acadec, I can't bring myself to study. Instead I'm playing SC2 when I should be studying hardcore for state.

But then when I do, it's interesting. I'm starting to actually figure out how to study. For example, music. Initially I thought music would help me, as I keep a pace etc. However, I tried it after an hour of music, and I felt like I could focus and remember more. =D Just small things here and there that were interesting to me.

2. Starcraft II

I'm getting frustrated as a zerg. I'm getting tired of being unable to defend against all-ins or playing different styles. Here are pretty much what I do every time:
ZvZ: Roach/Infestor Macro Game
ZvT: Standard Ling/Bling/Muta
ZvP: Roach-Ling all-in (Yeah, I Know =(...)

So today, I thought I would try something different. Today, I tried different styles. I attempted a +1 Roach Timing attack that got shut down by a baneling bust...
Ling/Roach/Bling didnt work so well for me versus a Terran
I can't play a macro game against a Forge FE to save my life.

Worst part is, being in plat, I don't really have anyone that I can practice with. And I'm starting to get bored by the lone styles of playing.

For a while now, I've toyed around with the idea of just going down to the store and buying another SCII key and starting a protoss account. Just to have a fresh start and learn a new race.

So, should I persevere and keep playing Zerg or should I switch to Toss?

That's it for tonight. I'll probably start writing blogs daily now.

"Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner

I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at all costs
I've got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on"

There is nothing else to say on that topic. I am in the top 8 of my diamond division on KR with 600 points (I use this rank because it is my most up-to-date) and even back on NA I do not have practise partners.

All the people I associated with when I was low masters on NA are now not good enough to challenge me, and the people who would challenge me do not want to play with me.

So alone I grind until I will be able to beat the people I aspire to practise with, then when I surpass or equal their skill level, they, with the next level of practise partners, will refuse to play with me.

Don't get beat-up that no people want to practise with you. Ladder, get better, compete.

Well it's only a matter of figuring what you're doing wrong. Although I can't say how fast you will improve if you enjoy playing other races instead but think of the reasons why you chose Zerg and if that isn't enough to keep playing Zerg then change races because you clearly aren't enjoying yourself, but there isn't any guarantee you will with any of the other two
