WHOO HOOO!
I noticed that you never post anymore. It made me sad. =(

English. English exams are easy. Your year, I took a months (tops) of English, did the exam, and got a good mark (I don't remember what it was). You'll be fine. (I guess I'm only assuming what level exam it is, technically. But still.) In fact, I don't doubt you could pass the one I wrote this year. Srsly. /ramble

Ahem. GOOD JOB ON THE TRIG TEST. ;DDDD BY THE WAY, IT ONLY GETS MORE "FUN" LATER ON~ D8I totally lol'd at that bitch thing. Dude, you rock ( ... )

Graphing calculators have games? Dude. Doesn't that, like, defeat the point of math?

I like your writing! You're so hard on yourself, Riyo, but you're good. Just because I didn't mention you in that list doesn't mean you aren't - I have tons of writers I like.

Well, they don't HAVE games. But you can put games on them! =333 Like, solitaire and space invaders. ^^
And if you know how (it's really easy to learn, too), you can write programs that will do all (well, most) of your calculations for you! ♥
And, hey, when you're learning The Fundamental Counting Principle (one of the glorious things we did not too long ago), math doesn't really have a point.

No, I wasn't even thinking about that. xDDD I just don't like my writing, because it's always so short and lame.

It is good to know that you are still breathing the air above ground. I was thinking about you today and realized I had not seen you on my F page for a long time. Congratulations on your trig exam. It sounds as though your aunt, uncle and cousins are not monopolizing the brains in your family.

Do not worry about the writing. I feel certain that as soon as you have the stress of the school year off your mind, the stories will spring forth like flowers sensing that the winter is past. If you welcome them, they will come. ;)

You're so kind. =) Although math is really not my strong point - I've come close to failing it so many times. Trigonometry is the one thing I can do! XD

I do hope you're right. Thank you for the encouragement!

If it's any comfort I get that feeling about not posting because others are doing it better too.

And it's such bullshit. If we don't keep writing we don't get better, and if we don't post, it's all too easy to lose interest in writing.

Besides, you write very well and I enjoy your stories. So there. :p

I think we all compare ourselves to somebody, and somebody's always comparing themselves to us. GAH. WE HAVE TO BREAK THIS CHAIN.

And thank you, Scribbles! IThat means a great deal. ♥

What scribblemoose said. (Great moose think alike?) I do think it's useful to pay attention to how other people write, and see what they do better, and learn how to improve our own writing as a result. But it's no good if those comparisons paralyze us from writing and/or posting. So I hope you do decide to post -- I know I'm looking forward to seeing what you've been working on. Plus, it'd be nice to see you around again. :)

Also, congrats on your test performance!!

That's funny, I'm usually the one limping after a math test :/ which is to say, congrats ^^

And post! The thing about studying a craft is that there's always room for improvement; we've all got the goggles on where all we can see are our own mistakes and the things we can never get onto paper exactly as they are in our heads.

I'm usually limping after a math test, too, but trig is my strong point. ^^ I was always terrible with graphing and geometry and most everything else. Thanks though!

My strong point in maths is. Uh. Pencil.

I find trig easy because all you have to do is know how to apply formulas and then punch stuff into your calculator. Not much thought required except figuring out the formulas.
