Wow, pretty

Just making conversation - I'm beginning to learn French! I've practiced Spanish a little more, and I confer upon myself the status of fluent

You are definitely a busy body! It is excellent to know so many languages... It makes me feel lazy for not quite accomplishing a second!

Then happy early birthday!
I started reading the Da Vinci Code in Spanish to keep up my proficiency
I have to admit, French is a little harder than Spanish, but I expect it to get easier as time passes.
And you're only in 9th grade. For an American, knowing as much Spanish as you do is pretty good.

Well thanks

Well, it's not as if I understand every single word. I do know all the grammar and tenses, though, so that helps. There might be three to five words on every page that I don't know, but it's certainly not enough to impede meaning.
Pronunciation of French is the hardest thing. Un is pronounced somewhat like "urh," for instance. You almost always ignore the last letter of every word when pronouncing things, but there are a few times when you don't... it's such a pain. Spanish is very straight-forward as far as pronunciation goes.

Yeah, that has always stood out to me.. spanish always seems to be the most straightforward, easy to understand language for me, ignoring english. Also, sorry it is like... 3 weeks after your comment that I am responding. So busy, and sharing a computer.. ugh...

No problem at all. Good luck with your apparently packed schedule and your lack of a computer.

I've had my permit for a while, but I have to get 60 hours behind the wheel! What absurdity! Perhaps at first it strikes you as a lot, but the more you think about it, the worse it is. Do you have the time to go out driving an hour every day? No way! And even if you did, it'd take you 2 months. I'm lucky to drive a little on the weekends... So anyway, it'll be a while before I get my license.
What are the requirements in your state?

Sorry again for the long reply *le sigh* Been so busy, then I felt embarrassed for disappearing and didn't find the motivation to check my devart

It's no problem at all, and you've no need to feel embarrassed.
As to driving, I wish you good luck. It's something of a pain. And I also wish you luck with getting the free car. I've been assured that I can expect nothing of the sort

How is the learner's permit test, easy or hard? Is studying necessary? Lol I myself hate studying. I pride myself on getting good test grades without doing so

The test to get the permit in Maryland is extremely easy; it's something of a joke. I haven't taken the test to get the provisional license yet, and won't for a few more months. That I expect to be slightly more difficult, but not too bad. I don't know exactly how it works in CO, though. I guess I might study a tiny bit for that, but not much. Most of it will be practicing parallel parking and 3-point-turnabouts.
As to studying for tests, I am the exact same way! As a matter of principle, I refuse to study for anything ever. I still pull of straight As in difficult classes, so it works, and it saves me loads of time. Passing tests without studying is an achievement; it means that you know the material thoroughly and that you have the long-term memory capabilities that make frequent review unnecessary.
By the way, I have just started a serially published fantasy work. You can see it here:

The prologue is 6 pages or so, so if you don't want to read it, I don't really blame you, but it'll definitely help you understand the setting. The first half of the first chapter (all of the actual story that I've published so far since I really did just start this weekend) is basically just an introduction to one of the protagonists, and nothing really happens, but you should read that because knowing who he is and his background will be important. I plan on publishing a few pages' worth every weekend, which is usually going to be about half a chapter, so a new chapter will start about every other week. I've actually got a group of friends who read what I write now, which is AWESOME!!!! I'm definitely going to be serious about this, and keep it going as long as I can.

That's great! I will check it out!
It is great to find another non-studier! I don't think I could stand studying. So.. time consuming!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think you need to worry too much about keeping up on it. I'll only be posting about half a chapter or so every week.
As for writing by hand, I find I must type. I am incapable of writing legibly. I can read what I write, but it's like a completely different alphabet. My g's look like s's, my s's look like n's, my t's look like f's, and my k's sometimes look like v's. It's unbelievable. When I'm writing words, it all gets smeared together even more and is less legible. I can read it, but no one else can, so I've developed the habit of typing everything, and I find I can no longer express myself well when not typing.

Well whatever works for you!

I consider it a good thing I write best when typing because it's a little more useful; I can create a hard copy whenever I want, and I can post it to many mediums easily. It also makes editing way easier. The good thing about handwriting it would be that you can do that wherever, and a computer isn't always available. When I have a good idea, I usually take out a notebook and jot it down.

That is definitely a good solution to the portable problem! I dunno, I guess when I write I am just able to make less mistakes, although I suppose they are then harder to fix when I do. I dunno, I'm thinking of just typing rather than writing by hand.

As I said, I prefer typing, but in the end, everything is subordinate to the creative process, so convenience aside, if you can express yourself better when writing, I encourage you to do that.

It is certainly not just you! I feel the same way right now

So I plan to do. Writing of the second chapter commences today (but I already have the ending of said chapter).

Awesome
I think I am going to go read for a bit now

That's too bad. I never imagined a "ghetto" school in CO 
I hope your headache subsides.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you
Lol I know what you mean, but it is pretty ghetto. I have to admit, it is kind of interesting to have such a change in scenery from where I lived before. My old area was predominantly white, wealthy, etc. So to look on the bright side, I get to see a whole new side of things!

Heh, yeah... Well, I hope you're getting along well.
