"If you can't change your fate, change your attitude."
And here is that something I promised:
http://www.cut-the-knot.org/manifesto/index.shtml
If you don't have the time, or you want to read this instead, then sure I'll elaborate.
What that site is about is math. Almost everything you can think of about math, and then the more interesting parts of it. It's difficult to understand some of it, but point that it's trying to get across is that math may be difficult. Math may not be needed 10 or 20 years down the road. But, "Judging Mathematics by its pragmatic value is like judging symphony by the weight of its score. " Additionally, you're not going to need History later, or maybe even English (Who needs to write an essay on literature when they have a family and other considerations? Assuming you're not an English Teacher by then).
Anyway, something to think about.
As another aside, I was looking at something I typed up in Year 7, and realised that it said that my favourite colors were blue/red. Long stretch from the duality of black/white now, huh?
Other than that, there's not too much going on, except writing up a few more articles. Maybe I'll look around for some nice inspiration. Like..online.
Hoping...school won't be too boring. (Some parts, anyway.)

Really, unless you go specialist, not a single subject you learn in High school is useful. Even if you're going to be a scientist, there is a bunch of stuff that still isn't going to be even slightly relevant, like cathode ray tubes for example. Food tech even isn't going to be useful because if you're going to be a professional chef it would be the most basic of the basic.
Really we only do stuff in high school to get to university, to learn to follow orders, to learn to organise ourselves and to have fun.
I just realised that I don't have the time, or can't be bothered to make the time to play KoL. *Frown*
