sure ! You are welcome XD anyways i think I need a break from school imao

I love literature, history, and science, but I can't stand math. Anyone want to take my geometry for me lol

I love math, science, and languages but I hate literature. ironic, right?

I've had too much of a break from school lol

I do not envy you for that haha

lol last year I took a 5 credit course...precalc and trig. It almost killed me but it was fun.

it's fun if they teach it in the right way like in a more creative way instead of just asking us to memorise and keep solving stuff :(

Now, throw me an advanced writing course, and I would be in heaven. I love writing XD

Yeah, it definitely depends on the teacher

lol like memorizing the circle thingy with all the angles and measurements. unit circle. I spent HOURS memorizing it AND THEN and then my professor literally GAVE US THE CIRCLE on the test. I was like dude....just spent three days memorizing that. oh well. it was nice to have.

writing *shudder* I can do it I just don't like it

UGH that's aweful! :(

I love history, as long as it is the actual story, not just the facts. Battle names, dates, casualties, not my type, but give me a story type learning situation, and I'm in love :))

I agree on that. I don't do well with dates or places. but the stories I can handle :p

yea even I love history in the form of stories.....my 6th and 7th grade history teacher used to do an amazing in explaining the chapter in the form of a story.....I also do love writing

i just got an email from my school...saying that you can only go in person if you're vaccinated :(

sad :(

Ugh that's hard

I have a book, that explains how to take the pattern on something that fits you really well and then use trigonometry to alter it to any style you like, keeping the dimesions corret, fabulous work that one. It got me from being a geek to actually making my own dresses and stuff.

I think techers need to understand how much maths we could work with in our daily lives. The trig to alter a dress pattern is actually quite like what you need to calculate a roof structure, believe it ot not.

Ummmm

i didn't wanna get the vaccine.... but I was tired of having my life on pause

I'm not against the vaccine, but I haven't gotten mine quite yet, because there is so little studying about the long term effects so far. It is nice to have to do more once you get it!

Wow. I’m not allowed to have the vaccine yet. As in my country under 18s can’t have it which is stupid. But I’ll definitely be getting it when I can

Yeah I can’t get it yet either but I will soon

so what are everyone's hobbies besides reading??

I love to draw, paint, dance, listen to music ,watch stuff lol.....also love to eat cos I am a foodie XD

ooooh nice! I like painting and drawing too. I don't do it that often tho...but I like painting shoes heh. I love food too lol. what's your favorite? do you like international food?

that's great ! I have been learning and practicing drawing since I was a kid so u can say it is a talent of mine....hehe.....I haven't drawn for a few months ig cos I was busy with school.....I am an indian so ofc I love my indian dishes very much especially the north indian ones like Paneer butter masala, parantha,etc. XD, but yea I also do love food from other countries like pizzas and burgers and shushi, pasta, I am a vegetarian but still I like to try different foods and this year I am actually planning to taste as many different and new dishes from other countries as possible:)

wau? what are you guys's fav food?:)

ah that's so cool! i bet you're pretty good at drawing and painting then :p i absolutely love Indian food!! but yeah I've tried a lot of international food. thai, Vietnamese, chinese, Korean, Italian, Turkish, Greek, etc. I love it all lol

my favorite though....i really like crepes and a pasta salad with fresh basil, tomatoes, smoked gouda and then a white vinegar mayo milk sauce. so good

thats AWESOME !! yea u can kinda say I am good at drawing XD.....glad to know u like indian food.....which is your fav ?I haven't tried that many international dishes as you have but I will surely later on

hmm I haven't had a lot of different kinds lately. I've been to Indian buffets (we have really good ones here) but my mom makes Indian curry which is soooooooooo good. I'm craving it now.

ooooooh that's great !!

i think my favorite international food is Korean tho. my parents lived there for a couple years (they saw each other there a couple times lol). it's so yummy ahhh

I LOVE Asian foods, but I also will go for anything Italian. I am super artistic, I've done a bit of painting, sketching, carving, calligraphy, sewing, scrapbooking, and a ton of others lol. Not that I've really done much in depth learning about anything, other than sewing and calligraphy! And then, my main hobby (and current job) is riding horses :)

ooh I do some needle felting too! that's fun. but yes Asian food us delicious.

!! You ride horses? i love riding. I'm incredibly jealous lol

that's AWESOME ! i have never met a horse that much leave alone riding it imao, I am trying to learn the piano although I am not getting a lot of time due to school and tests lol......i also like to write - I have written a few poems and two novels....I am also interested in film stuff like direction, cinematography, film scores the artistic production......overall u can say ig I am more of a creative and ARTS guy XD
