Victor's Intro

Part 1) Hi! I am Victor Volz, Age 18, getting ready to graduate from Sehome High School and I currently go to Whatcom Community College; obviously. I was a former WCC Running Start student from last year, I originally wanted to learn autodidactically for the sake of loving knowledge and not actually getting the credentials to prove it, so I quit. I also had acquired an aversion over time to compulsory education and still, to an extent, believe that formal education and conventional academics inhibit the learning process, you know, the whole active versus passive learning contention, and I still do believe that. I then later changed my mind about quitting, so now I just matriculated back into the system, re-enrolled for certain classes and have begun attending here again. How is that for an informal introduction? Really, how is it? Like, perhaps, most of you, I really don't know what to actually write about myself, nor could I choose a central theme or topic that you all would be specifically intrigued or fascinated by, I guess it all depends upon what you people prefer and indeed do find interesting, but I digress. Instead I'll provide all of you with a harangue and if you've made it this far into reading my post, then I'm grateful to have captured your attention. Since people usually like to incessantly ramble on about trivial things respective of themselves, including myself, and, as a rather controversial standpoint, I find that rarely do people actually take an initial interest in others but rather engage in idle palavering in order to establish rapport, calibrate their intrinsic status/value on the social hierarchy, i.e., subjectively measure how far they've climbed up the "peer social ladder," further acquire skills in interpersonal communication and relationship building, and of course, to transfer vital and necessary, or futile, information. However, it is still nice and noteworthy when others take a genuine interest in other people, although, I admit that I do occasionally have much running through my mind, so much so that finding out or even being remotely preoccupied about another person and how they are doing is near the bottom of my list of priorities, requiring me to feign interest; or I often may just forget the next day, I believe you might all be able to relate to that, or mayhap my memory sucks. Maybe it's because I was a very taciturn and reserved child while growing up, however, lately I've become a lot more extroverted. Anyways, I decided to avoid the main objective of this assignment due to the fact that I truly believe almost no one really cares about me and because of it, I was able to inadvertently ingrain some information about myself, thus reluctantly meeting the standards and the aforementioned tasks. I may have also transgressed and erred on some serious compositional writing rules by switching between the first- to the third-person narratives/perspectives, and on that note, I apologize, although there maybe some form of expressional writing which allows and advocates that purported 'infraction', I'm sure. Please, if you must, give me a corrigenda because I am certain that I made a few, or if not, numerous typographical and grammatical errors somewhere throughout the course of this introduction. This way it will please my perfectionistic, pedantic and erudite nature, and ulteriorly knock down my ego. I have a proclivity to attempt to notice all the flaws and mistakes that I make and correct them in order to attain an impeccable analytical ability, which is still, never enough it seems like. It becomes a tedious, continuous, endless process of re-editing and revising. I should cease to type now before this brief introduction becomes an interminable and unreadable post filled with temperate rhodomontade. Aww, damn it, I am a nerd, a narcissistic one at that, guess there is nothing too wrong with that, huh?

Part 2) I have no favorite or particular type of writing style that I commonly employ. Also, I don't frequently write for pleasure or satisfaction at all, even though I do enjoy it. The only exception, when I actually do write often, would be when I am taking copious class notes and have a huge amount of reports, essays, projects and other undertakings, that's all.
