 Clearing a Few Things UpApril 12, 2006 at 12:44 PM I seem to be deceiving quite a few people on here, so I figured I should post some general facts about my life on here.1. I am not a genius. I am freakin' insane, but certainly not a genius. 2. I am a sophomore in a rigorous college prep correspondance school. Everyone in it works hard. You have one of two choices 1) you get everything done on time with a B+ average or 2)you take a full year to do your work and keep a high A average. I take the first choice, to maintain what sanity I have left. 3. Seven courses: English (advanced grammar, writing book analyses essays, poetic analysis, and creative writing), World Literature (advanced reading of European texts, more book essays), European History (from the Neolithic revolution to WWII), Latin II (my second year of the language my father claims is "not dead but eternal"), Biology (self-explanatory), Moral Theology (I'm Catholic), Algebra II (a.k.a. hell). I hope that's cleared all these misconceptions up. Yes, I work hard, but I'm no genius. Just an ordinary Joe (or rather Jane) like everyone else. ~natasha
From Ben Clapton
I wouldn't say you're average. Heck, I wouldn't say anyone on this board is average. From buri's obsession with prunes (which hasn't been mentioned for a while it seems), to Bram's obsession with rare concerto's, to Sydney's obsession with getting Joshua Bell on Oprah, everyone on this board is no-where near average.Posted on April 12, 2006 at 1:10 PM It's great to know who you are, but I definately wouldn't say you're average.
From Sydney Menees
Ahhhhhh! When will it end?! When Joshua Bell is on Oprah, of course ;-)Posted on April 12, 2006 at 1:19 PM Any chance that you could come to the Verbier Festival Acadamy next year? It's extensively chamber music (something I need to brush up on) and will the prima coaches (including Hilary Hahn!) not to mention all the swell concerts (too many to list, but Ilya Gringolts, Hahn, Bell, Soumm, Isserlis, Vengrov...) and beautiful location (Switzerland). It's 900 Swiss moneys (haha, I don't know) plus a plane ticket, but WOW! Zowiee! I wanna go so bad!!!
From Sydney Menees
PS - I agree with Ben. Nobody on this board is average. Especially not you!

Your dad is right. Latin will serve you well. (I studied it, and as a result it took me less than 2 years to become fluent in Spanish, and I can usually get the gist of something written in French or Italian even though I've never studied them.) What's the name of the correspondence course? Dunno if it'll still be around by the time my daughters are your age, but I'm collecting data. :)

algebra is magical... dont diss it.

Magical? Algebra? Not the way my teacher teaches it.Posted on April 12, 2006 at 10:20 PM Natasha- You left out cooking chocolate muffins as a course. That should be worth 3 credits.
From Natasha Marsalli
Ah, right you are Linda. Then consuming muffins should be six credits. Monthly.
