The honest truth is that Mexico is coming to us. You'll need to know the language. In ten years, you'll be considered illiterate if you can't read, write, and speak Spanish. Necesitas saber espa

I've got an idea. Make it an option in highschool. That way, if people realize that you might actually need it in the future then they have the option to learn it. And the people that really don't think they need it, or are proud to be english speaking, can also speak what they wish.

English and Spanish Are probably the more easier to learn, due to the fact that they both have Latin Roots. I'd stick with English, even though when it comes to writing A language, Spanish has the edge.

English: There,Their,They're. Plus all the odd rules with the Spelling and grammar,
Spanish: Contento, Muy Contento, Muy Mal. Muy=More, Conternto, Content,(another English language mutation with multiple english meanings, In this case a mood.) Mal=Angry.

Nothing beats the long words in german:

Schifffahrtskapitainsmutze (yes 3 f)

or the .,.,.,.,. commas

Actually, English is a Germanic language.

English takes a bit of everything tbh.

And I hear it's actually one of the hardest to learn properly because of its extensive use of intonation.

Earth Science, its easy and I turn everything in, but my science teacher gives me a C, then down to a D+ because I took "insufficient" notes on a movie we watched on the development on Earth.

Oh and last term I made up a quiz I only got 1 question right on (the result of not studying...). I studied hard and only got 1 wrong that time, I was all proud of myself until she fails me and said "You must have been cheating to jump from only getting one right to only missing one".

Evidently, that's especially true for 80% of people on the internet.

English is a mix of british (yes that language existed) and german.

I don't know what you mean by "English is a hard language to learn".Can you go more in depth?

If that's about the reports, we've had times when there have been up to 20-25.

less*

20-25 sig reports that is. We handle the board stuff quickly.

However, few people actually handle sig reports. Recently it's primarily been only Evolved.

Everything.
I suck at Halo
I suck at mapping
I suck at drawing
There are people at my school that are better programmers than I am.
I get C's in all my classes except band, and I suck at the trombone anyway.
I suck with computer hardware, I don't do any work around the house (I'm lazy), and my ex g/f and everyone she's ever met think I'm some retarded fuck. When I sleep I dream of killing myself, when I'm awake I can't handle life. The next two minutes stress me out and I can't even think about the minute after that. I can't memorize vocab in Spanish (or any other language). I used to be cocky, I'm arrogant, and overall I'm an asshole
My rant is me.

Not true Bacon :)

Your maps are pretty kick ass. As for the ex/gf scenario, that's high school, all you have to do is hold your head up high and ignore them. And the lazyness, I'm like that a lot, but just see if you can get to a gym, it makes you feel totally better :)

And for spanish, I tottally flunked my first year of it, its a language thats kind of hard to get grabs on at first. But bacon, be happy :) Theres always an up to something.
