this was supposed to be me briefly going over context for another post i made but i had to keep explaining more and more things for it to make sense and it became this whole essay and i wasn't gonna post it since it's not really necessary but. wellll if sam insists......
so in my state foreign lang classes aren't a requirement to graduate but it's recommended bc it looks better on college apps plus some of the bigger colleges require like 2 or 3 years of it (or otherwise proof that you're fluent in something besides english) and my goal is to get into a bigger prestigious college to use that as an excuse to Leave. anyways i took french 1 last year and it wasn't bad the teacher was one of my favorites ever and it wasn't particularly hard to me it's just french itself is kind of ass. no offense beyond the basic amount. anyways i don't really want to take french again if i don't have to but then i learned about the seal of biliteracy which is like. well i'm not sure about how graduation works for other states and countries but my state has a certain amount of credits for certain areas you have to get, a certain baseline score you have to earn for these two tests, and then as of fairly recently you also have to earn two seals. and the seals are basically like if you fulfill certain requirements they'll give you this badge thing that's on your diploma and is on your high school transcript for example if i take band for all four years of high school i'll get the fine arts seal or if i get on the honor roll all 4 years i'll get the honors seal. anyways the seal of biliteracy is one of the harder ones to get they said less then 10 people from our school graduate w it every year but basically you have to take an approved test in a language that shows you can speak it fluently and they'll give it to you. and the kids who get it do it by taking 4 or 5 years of french or spanish (the only languages they have classes for at my school) and then scoring high enough on the ap exam for it. but i did my own research and obviously there isn't a lot of foreign lang ap tests but there is another approved test called the aappl which covers a lot more languages including korean. so the idea is that if i take the korean aappl i'll earn the seal of biliteracy which would look better on my transcript than if i were to take a couple years of french, plus it'll be less work for me since i already mostly know korean and i can fill up the periods that would've been used for french with electives i actually want to take. anyways i was a bit nervous about the idea of taking the test because i'm not super confident in my korean so i asked my dad to get textbooks. but we looked at the demo korean test they put out and it's like. not bad at all. i could figure out the reading and listening portions without too much trouble and the demo isn't graded but my dad said i did it right. the writing and speaking portions kinda scared me though. my dad says if i just take the time to read all the korean picture books we have around the house and watch more kdramas i'll just naturally become more comfortable with everything. i don't know if that's true... i tried to insist i would need more formal learning instruction stuff for grammar and w/e but my dad said my grammar is pretty much as good as any other native speaker's. i don't believe him. he did admit that i needed more practice with writing and talking more formally because i've only ever in the most casual level with my parents. and they're probably gonna test more formal speech bc the whole goal of fluency isn't to get to native level but just enough so that you could use the language practically in like professional settings. but he just told me to watch some kdramas and read the kids books we have and i would get better at it naturally. i'm a bit skeptical about that so i got him to order textbooks anyway. i'm having fun reading these picture books though i remember being read a lot of these as a kid.

sometimes im just thinking about this hc that oikawa is actually really smart
but like he's not even thinking about it when he suddenly says something abt maths or smth and everyones just like wha wait how do u know this. and oikawa is just nah man that's super easy look—
i mean imagine oikawa tooru who puts his whole self in smth that he values when he gets interested in something. a kid oikawa who goes to the library to read about space bc he wants to see it closely (not me projecting my childhood dream abt being an astronaut). a ten years old oikawa who's watching documentary films late at night. a teen oikawa who's attending astronomy class bc of course volleyball is his life and dream but astronomy is just his safe space (oops sorry for unintentional pun)
and then imagine iwaizumi who finds it so fascinating to see oikawa being like that. like they're at lunch and then oikawa brings random astronomy fact out of nowhere. he talks about it with this happy little smile on his face and moving hands to explain it all better. and then he turns to iwa and the other boy just staring at him lovingly bc 'omg o m f g he's so cute and smart and beautiful— oh shit am i blushing i hope not'
just imagine this exact moment iwaizumi fell in love with oikawa this oh oh moment
