I am officially in the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy class of 2009. As far as I understand it, my Wikipedia time may be diminished for a short while for the first couple of weeks of the first year (So August 2006 to mid September tops), because they are a residential magnet school and they don't give in-room networking to new students for the first part of their sophomore year as a part of policy. Also, the amount of work that I will get might reduce the amount of free time I have

[edit] Languages

By the way, speaking of languages, these are the languages I speak. Note that I listed russian as native, however I lived in the US most of my life so my Russian skills are closer to ru-2 (intermediate) than ru. Also, I am learning spanish in school. I've had a year and a half of it, however it was middle school foreign language (and am now in Spanish 2 in my high school) so I don't know how well I really know it. :-D I'd include all that stuff like html-4, php-2, frfx, etc. but I find those slightly silly, and not really useful for our purposes here.

As for computer languages, I am learning C#. I know PHP pretty well. CSS and XHTML very well. Finally, I plan to learn Java and Scheme some time in the future.

[edit] Wikipedia

...

I have been on Wikipedia since May 7, 2003. Started because of a school project on governments, and now I'm addicted. I was an active member, then left for a while when I discovered life. It wasn't all it's made out to be. ;-)
