   the whole situation with me and german is quite a bruh moment. after a year of learning the language I pulled a galaxy brain move and dropped all plans that needed the language. and now I don't have a use for it, nor do I want to drop it since all the effort I put in just started to bear fruit. I could probably use the time wasted to do something useful for uni instead (i.e competitive programming for russian unis, or learning the country's language for foreign unis that teach in english), but like, I am afraid of another galaxy brain move later that will render those efforts useless as well

     @lanodan ikr. I should've evaluated my perspectives before starting the language, but 15 year old rin just wanted to have fun and 16 year old rin was too busy to re-evaluate

     @lain @vaartis @rin it's definitely an entirely different skill from "real-world" programming, yeh; had a couple competitons at uni, and it was mostly kind of just frustrating ?

     @vaartis @rin I have the feeling that it's kinda like Americans winning the baseball world series every year

     @lain @lanodan you're joking but I just remembered my friend self-taught himself polish in 2 years for literally no reason other than "I was bored and it sounded kinda cool"
