In which I egocentrically bloviate about school and languages... sort of

I like learning smatterings of skills that are vaguely obscure/apparentlyuseless.
I've also lately developed a thing for certain fonts in 10.5pt.
Also, at the moment, for all intents and purposes, I do no subjects other than 3U and 4U English. As in, I do, obviously, but at the moment, work for those two subjects is dominating my life.

I think I am now actually constantly thinking of / aware of school. Like aaaall the time, thinking things like "I should do work" and "I could be doing work right now" and "it's my own fault I wasted so much time earlier" and "oh look, I'm doing the procrastinating thing agian..."

Okay, those last three were just particularly prevalent today because I tend to be extra-procrastinatey on Saturdays. And whiny.

Also, I've added German and Russian keyboard layouts to my language bar thingy. I've more-or-less mastered the former, and I can roughly remember the locations of about four keys in the latter. Because I'm just so cool/pro like that. German keyboard's actually quite easy, seeing as it's just Z and Y swapping places and some shifting around of symbols and handy additions of the umlauted letters and ß. I added Russian when I was procrastinating working on my Belonging speech last week, and I added German a couple days ago when I was working on a mini-essay piece of homework for Extension German, a 300-word thing that took me an extremely long time to write... and I used a dictionary heeeeaps because the topics/etc. in ExtGerman are rather different/moreserious than what you get in Continuers. At this moment in time I could write a fairly decent typical writing task for Continuers without using a dictionary at all, but if you chucked me into a typical EXTENSION writing task without a dictionary ==> EEEEEEEEEEK

...Which is why I really really need to do more practice for Extension.

Oh, Extension subjects. Why are you so annoying? /obviousquestion
But seriously, 3U+4U Eng and ExtGerman are my most challenging subjects atm... I think. Actually, I'm fairly lost in Mod, too, atm, due to my very poor grasp of economics which is basically what the majority of our current topic is composed of.

ACTUALLY, I think I'm okay for 4U right now but...

Yeah, you know what, I'll just stop talking and go do work now.
