Facts about me.
My stupid teacher gave us all a stupid task of writing about ourselves.
Then when I started writing I realized it wasnt stupid at all.
Because I didnt really know how to start.
I thought real hard...
But I didnt know what to write.
In the end, I spent more than half an hour thinking about it.
And here's what I wrote.

... Really ==
Dont think I'm as sensible as I wish I were.
Nor as self-disciplined.
Nor as emotionless.
Sigh.
I wonder how many people
Really knows who I am.
... Do I?

... I honestly have no idea how I should start, so I guess I'll start with some basic facts about me.
- I love science. Physics is and will most probably always be my favourite, then Chemistry, then Biology. Although I'm not sure whether or not I really want to be a doctor, and if I do, which area of expertise I'd like to choose, I'm pretty sure my future career will be science-related.
- I'm a fighter. When I want something, I fight for it. When I have a clear goal, I do anything to push myself and reach it. Only if the goal is worth it. Only if I want it bad enough.
- I dont know if it's a good thing, but I dont really care about what other people think of me. They can gossip all they want, spread rumours all they want, I simply do not give a shit care because those people know nothing about me and as long as those who are important to me know the truth, nothing matters.
- I have weak interpersonal / social skills. Not that I'm quiet or anything, within my circle of friends I'm usually the loudest and most outspoken one. What I mean is that I find conversing with strangers pointless and difficult. Especially if it's a formal conversation. There's just so much that I personally dont care about yet other (and most) people do. Like gestures, the way you sit, the way you talk... It's all so unnecessary and annoying (to me) so I usually avoid it if I can. I always choose writing over talking face-to-face / via the phone. The pen speaks my mind so much better than my mouth.
- I love challenges. When I go hiking I always pick the harder routes which everyone behind me avoids. Same in real life. If you back down from a challenge, yes, you'll ensure a safe path and result, but where's the fun in life? Ah, reminds me. That's another thing about me. I do things because I like it. Because I enjoy it. Because it's fun. If it's not... well, good luck making me do it. Take last year's Geography as an example. I honestly found it boring and saw no point in memorizing everything in the book, and so I just stopped studying for it. It wasnt really shocking when I got a D in the 2nd term and I wasnt half as sad as the time I got a B for Math. Why? Because I know it's not because of a lack of ability or anything - it's just that I didnt like it and chose to not work for it.
- People say I'm insensitive. Everybody does. My mom, my friends... and I agree. My mom says that I live in my own little world and fail to look at a situation from other people's perspectives using their emotions. For example, I may be perfectly fine with what I say or do, but others might find it too harsh. The problem is, I dont see it. I usually dont realize I've hurt people or made them mad until someone else comes and tells me about it. And I never pay attention to details in life. Some people can know what other people need just by noticing their every move - I cant. I just dont pay attention at all. If I'm focused on something, like reading a book, I can never hear my mom even though she's shouting. This problem puts me in embarassing situations in daily life. All the time.
- I have the attention span of a goldfish. When studying, 15 minutes is the maximum time period I can stay focused for. Then I start doing random things like playing the cello / clipping my nails / searching for food / going downstairs to play basketball. During lessons as well. Unless it's Physics.
- My mom's always saying how my priority list is so messed up. But I know what I want. I know how I sort the things on my priority list. It's listed according to what I want, not what I SHOULD care about. It's about achieving my happiness, not success. Friends are sometimes more important than anything else, and in other times winning, or beating myself. I know what I want, and I hate people who try to control my life and tell me what I SHOULD be doing. This is my life and I know what I'm doing. I'll do what I want and I'll be the one making the decisions.
