Its alright man :D I am very busy these days, my parents are making study EXTRA EXTRA HARD ( in addition to the fact that I already study extremely hard, they say that it is for the better good and that my studies will be a lot easier as it goes, I agree with it ). So I won't be on that much.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Lfsw17aAM Look it up, it is awesome :D That user that uploaded it is awesome at the violin. Look up Dan888, some of his piano videos are awesome as well. Look up this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRBwtqNqE8Y ( look up other videos by the same pianist ) I am learning to play that one for a school concert ( if I do well, my school will let me do a piano solo representing my school for a music festival, right now I just got to clean up a few parts ) Don't forget to look up Lang Lang Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 Live in Tuscany. That guy is crazy at the piano, he is the second-best pianist in the world ( from what I heard from reliable sources ). From what I heard from my friend. He is my age, and already level 10 at the piano, he is insane at the piano, in a good way, he takes piano lessons at the Royal Conservatory of Music branch at my city, they give him lessons for free, that is how good he is. He is way better than me.
You are interested in psychology? Cool, I don't know about civilian psychology, but I know my share of military and battlefield psychology. One of the few things I know about a psychologist is they administer IQ tests :D
In northern or southern Ontario? ( I am guessing northern ) Lol in addition to that, a lot of kids got suspended for absences, and lates. My school actually prosecuted kids that were on school ground during suspensions ( I heard about 1, I am sure there are more ). I love those, I read both ancient and modern warfare, all across the ages. I also read a lot about the Eastern ones ( Genghis Khan, Qinshihuan, Minamoto, Tokugawa .etc ) My friend has the manga ocarina of time.
In case you haven't noticed ( probably did from my avatar, Lelouch vi Britannia and my profile :D ) that I am a huge anime fan, not otaku though.
For martial arts, I wanted ninjutsu ( but I can't find real ninjutsu dojos in my area ). It would be cool to be a shinobi-no-mono :D
Yeah, I study a lot of ancient wars ( I don't just study them, I evaluate them, analyze them .etc ), a lot of ancient strategies and tactics ( my favorite is the Art of War, I have ready it front and back multiple times, and I read the Kanji version, to practice my Japanese, I found a romanji version :D ), a lot of game theory stuff ( strategic science based on mathematics ), new military tactics and strategy .etc Yeah I am very serious about strategic studies. I even got in to a very prestigious writing contest ( the teacher will selected like 4 from the school ) from a military essay ( a evaluation of the book Ender's Game ), if we get accepted we get published ( there is no first place, second place and stuff, only published and non, I got published from what I heard ) in school board education material :D It was probably a first for the writing contest ( I hope, but probably never happen that a real military officer reads it and love it ) to have something like my essay.
I don't live in Toronto, I live in a suburb near Toronto, but in the GTA, yeah it is the biggest city in Canada ( I think it is awesome ). I don't know when his internet will be back, prob in a few weeks.
I am going for military scientist. It have the same expectations and requirements as the tactical officers ( such as requiring to go through officers candidate school, and other training ), but the additional requirement of a doctorate ( but better pay and privileges :D ). I am going for medical researcher ( I know I am doing a MD plus a dual PhD, it is very useful ).
Your welcome, the truth is truth :D As for the fights, yeah he did ( the last big fight was 2 years ago ), but there was so much people involved ( like 75% of the grade, or sometimes 75% of the division or more ) that he can only give mass detentions and very very long schoolwide talks, classroom talks and stuff. He can only suspend the agitators and main people, the greater majority couldn't the suspended ( we didn't start the fight, they did, we only started the march of the gifties, and by we I didn't mean me, I meant the gifted program ). A lot of the staff probably thinks we are doing it to push for a pure-gifted school ( we weren't though ). At the high school I don't think we will start it: 1) We matured 2) We don't come in contact with them often, and no breaks between classes 3) We are VASTLY outnumbered 4) It is pointless
I know sheet music, it is vital to know how to read it ( doesn't mean you have to stare at it the entire time, most great pianists don't do that ). My favorite piano song is Turkish March, it is so cool ( and a bit difficult ). I think it is pointless to say check and checkmate ( assassination and ambush are much more realistic ).
I love my high school as well :D We are in the Gifted Program, so we shouldn't have a issue with idiots, and my high school is a zero-tolerance school ( it is well-known where I live for being very strict ). I just got word today that there will be non-giftes in my class, enriched kids ( here is what it is about, basically they are in our class, but we get a credit that worth more then theirs, and we get a gifted certificate at our grad in grade 12, also we can use the Special Education rooms, that means we can use their computers, use their printers, which means printing and photocopying for free, and more ), we don't really mind them, we will treat them like one of us, but of course, I think there will be some ( probably small ) academic gaps.
In my school board, there is like 2 "gifted school", one elementary and one high school ( which all all half-gifted, or have gifted classes in the case of high schools ) per city. Those are the host schools for the Gifted Program. It was the first day at high school ( technically it is a C.V.I., but w/e ).
As for my family, I think the IQ runs in the family. My family comes from a line of military officers ( tech officers, staff officers and surgeons, mostly and a few line officers ) and scholars, with the rare occasional government officials. After I completed my post-doc ( after a long while, probably more than 10 years later ) I am thinking of combining both, a military scientist, not like a civilian researcher, but military officer. Greater Toronto Area :D The good ol' GTA :D Kanji took me.....lets see....about 6 years. It is hard lol, bad times.....well bad as in how hard it is and the blood, sweet and tears, but it was worth it. The character limit should DIE. P.S. Omega133 is a friend of mine of sci, he is your age, but his internet is down at the moment.
I think if you are not paralyzed then you can probably do other sports lol. Besides tennis, my only physical abilities lay in my speed, jumping and hand-eye coordination, and that is about it. As for my thinking, this is the way I like to think. I first make a protodecision ( not a final decision ), criticize it, then criticize those criticisms and on and on until I make the final decision. It is why Lelouch ( the anime character in my avatar ) is my fav anime character, because in the anime he thinks the same way.
Chess is fun though, I play ridiculously long games though, so usually I win by points instead of checkmate, though with my friends, we don't call check, we just "assassinate" the king if they don't notice, it is fun ( I think better ). Shogi is my favorite, no doubts about it :D Yeah, Starcraft is very competitive ( it is ridiculous the actions per minute of expert players, I just can't catch up ).
