It’s been a long while since I’ve posted, and for good reason. School started! 

This means that I have no time, ever, for anything. I’m constantly working. The past few weeks have been kind of ridiculous for me. This past weekend I had to finish my National Merit Semifinalist packet, which required a 500 gloat essay (I hate these. “Tell us how awesome you are, maybe you’ll get some money.”) I also had to complete the preliminary test for the Deutscholympiade (International German Olympics – Dec. 5, Chicago), which was no easy task. Having only had a year of German, my vocabulary is not really amazing yet, so much of my time was spent inferring the meaning of words. I also had to write an essay about myself and my hobbies, which was unfortunate since I didn’t know any of the words for my hobbies (except Differentialrechnung and Integralrechnung – Differential and Integral Calculus).

The LAN Party for the comp sci club is Saturday night – looking forward to it. I’ll probably be lame and do homework – but everyone else should have fun! (I’m president, I’m allowed to not have fun ) Also, SAT is this Saturday – I haven’t studied at all, so we’ll see how that goes. Next weekend is Sadies, and a Math Competition in Baton Rouge. I’ll have to look over lower math…It’s been a while (as conceited as that sounds, it’s true. I can’t do Cal2 anymore)

Somehow I’ve managed to continue working on my distinction project, which will require it’s own post.

I hope this gives at least a little insight into life at lsmsa, I’d eventually like to post some examples of the workload (e.g. “This paper got a D. This paper got an A. Note the difference.”)
