In my previous blog, I said that I would be switching to terran. For about a month, I laddered as terran, but then I took a break for a week due to real like issues. When I came back to playing, I was even worse than when I started. I expected to be demoted when switching, but I was better winning 2-3 games out of 5. Sometimes I would go on a huge winning streak of 7-8 games, but after my week break I was playing horribly. I switched back to zerg to ladder and finish out the season.

After much thought,I decided for season 7 I will switch back to terran and try it again. I expect (and hope) to drop to silver. I hate playing and losing every game, so playing in silver will help me get used to terran. I hope its a smooth switch, because I want to be back in gold by season 8 as terran!

Other than Starcraft, soccer season has started again. I am very nervous for this season because my high school coach will be watching all of our games. If I do good I will be the starting goalie, but if I don't do good I will be backup, which would be fine except for how hard I've worked. This season is very important for me.

I've also tried out for the advanced choir for my school. I will know in the next few weeks if I've made it, and I feel I have a really good shot! If I make this, than that will be my 6th advanced class that I am scheduled for next year.

After getting over some stress I've dealt with due to school, I am finally back on track. Part of it is due to Starcraft. Whenever I get overly stressed, it really gets to me. I never let people know, so no one knows why I am in horrible moods. If I do feel like crap I will just lock myself in my room and play Starcraft or read books so I can forget about my problems for a few hours. Its really helped me to relax because I've truly needed it!

As always thanks for reading!

P.S. I am having a strange addiction to korean music as of recently O.o

It will be fun for a while when you switch but... you will hit a wall eventually. and unless the metagame shifts, you will hate playing with terran once you to get to mid-high plat

Ignore your league status, it's completely irrelevent, just focus on winning, league and ladder doesn't mean shit.

and as for RL, best of luck!
