School, although undoubtedly more work than leisure, has become my primary interest, which is sad I know, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it to be true. I dedicate myself fully for the eight hours we are forced to be there, and I find I spend even more time than necessary on work outside of school. I even enjoy it many times. I pride myself on doing well through hard work.
Anyway, when I'm not too busy being a nerd, I turn to the more geeky side of me and play endless amounts of video games, RPG's in particular. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge each one poses, and I can't get enough of the sometimes-mindless carnage. On a more peaceful, but equally geeky, note I also am quite interested in fantasy novels. I've read my fair share in the past, but I seem to read less and less the deeper I go into high school. Who knows, maybe this class will change that. Among my favorite books are the Bartimaeus, Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Inheritance, and Wheel of Time and series. Oh, and there's also the Shannara series and the Great Tree of Avalon series. They're all good, check them out sometime.
I've already listed my favorite books, but my favorite movie may be just as hard to pinpoint. I like almost any decent action-adventure movie. I love marvel comic book based superhero movies, and I like more fantasy-based themes like in Harry Potter, but I think the Pirates of the Caribbean may be my favorite. The first one is the best, and they've all gone downhill since then. I'm nervous about how the fourth one will turn out. I don't have very high expectations.
As far my post-high school plans go, I intend to go to the UW Madison and major in Biochemistry or a related field. I've never really considered going anywhere besides Madison, and I can't imagine going anywhere far away. I guess I'm not very ambitious, and I'm not desperate to escape my home. I quite enjoy my life, and I don't really want any drastic change.
