The only thing I really suck at is environmental descriptions. I somehow always think they are beside the point and I just wanna move on with my story :P And news articles... I dunno, I suppose I could do them :P

I'm not sure. Last year my school didn't have a 'you have to have social science in it' (I go a social science line with an emphasise on language and international negotiations) but I suppose I can always say that I'm through the story portraying how minority groups are treated in society or something like that :P

Star Trek? How's things there?
