Attempted a College Board Math IIC paper and finished it within 40min. Hmph. Perhaps there's hope after all.
I've been reading old journal entries from last year - overflowing with giddy fangirlish effusiveness, most of them. It's startling to see how much I've toned down and sobered up over the past year. My writing style has become more self-conscious. I'm even rediscovering the rules of grammar, for goodness' sake.
It's a desperate necessity: HC's effect on my English parallels RG's impact on my Chinese. Complacency + lack of enrichment = slipping standards + GP grades. (And I've just resorted to using mathematical notation, proof that I've lost the ability to string together coherent sentences.)
Heck. I'd just have to work on language proficiency and be a little more aware of every nuance, phrase and clause. No need to whine about it.
