EPTI've been spending a fair bit of time working through an online course of Latin for high school. I need foreign language credits to graduate, and since none of the other functional languages seemed fun to learn, I decided to learn a language which I can use to further my anti-social standings. Well actually, I wanted to learn it because one of the goals I have for my future is to maybe become a scientist. I don't know if this really can/will even happen, although I consider myself quite smart (not to be arrogant
). If I were to become a scientist of any sort, knowing Latin can only help, since so many of the stupid words and such use Latin. Latin in general also could help my English vocabulary, since virtually every word we use has some sort of stem from Latin in it. Anyways, the class is online, and so I've been trying to finish up a semester before school starts again... I basically can get through a "semester"'s worth of work in 2 weeks, so in a way I really like self study courses. Let's see... other games than SC2. I've been playing some solo queue in LoL recently, mostly for the self-satisfaction of actually getting out of FUCKING BRONZE. After a couple of games with her, I've realized that I'm actually really good at Lux... I have no idea why but I just picked her up in a few games and smashed my enemies. Since so many noobs who can't carry try to choose mid lane, I have had to resort to going "support" and constantly harrass the enemy with my abilities. My win ratio with Lux so far is pretty insane, and I'm planning on keeping this up.
Now what to talk about... social life? LOL.
School... I'm going into the 11th grade, and I'll be taking every single AP class that I can get my hands on. AP Physics, AP U.S. Government, AP literature (or writing or some shit), AP Calculus. I really hope that I don't over extend myself with all of these classes. I'm so used to putting myself up to a challenge in school and being in classes with upperclassmen that it's going to feel really weird when I'm a senior. I have a really competitive mentality, maybe even too much, and since my physical body is pathetic in comparison to the masses, I think that I need to "win" somehow by being smart. Being in a class with younger kids (hell, even a normal level class for my grade level) makes me somehow feel like I'm "losing"... it's really odd if I take a step back and think about it, it's not like I'm winning or losing anything by being in higher level classes earlier. It's not like I'm better or worse than classmateA because he's younger/older. I just can't get over the idea that i need to be THE BEST. It bugs me. And what bugs me worse is that I know that there's no way I can be the smartest person, how there are geniuses and prodigies out there to whom I am uncomparable. I probably don't even have a chance at getting into some Ivy league school, but I feel so much in need to be in a prestigious school that I can't actually even look for a solid college that I would like (nothing jumps out at you as a "good" school other than the super high level ones)... Oh well whatever that's enough rambling on that.
Do any of you people know what "Shu Cream"s are? They are a Japanese pastry sweet, basically a bread-ish outside with cream or custard on the outside. They're fucking delicious. Just thought I ought to put that out there as a PSA.

Well I guess I've just about run out of steam on things to say about myself personally and not about SC2... I'll be heading off now to go do some more Solo Queue with Lux <3. Have a great day, sorry for the walls of text, and I'll make sure to get in a game tomorrow so that I can actually write a battle report!
