Hello World! Wannbe Quant here.

I was recommended by Patrick that I introduce myself and collect some bananas (apparently, it makes him sad otherwise). Although I don't have anything much to say, I'd say that
- I'm from a 3rd World Country
- I plan to attend college in the US (Princeton is my first choice, reminds me of John Nash, followed by Dartmouth)
- I'm currently doing my A-Levels (and preparing for SAT, SAT II, ACT and TOEFL) and Plan to major in Mathematics (Financial or Applied) or (Astro)Physics or Engineering.
- My poster name "Blue Bishop" comes from my favorite color and my favorite chess piece.
- I randomly stumbled of Wall Street oasis (don't remember when or how exactly), read a lot of articles and threads before joining.
- I hope to become a Quant one day because of my absolute love for mathematics & economics, and a fiery desire for materialism. (

Thanks for you time, Would appreciate any comment guiding me towards what to do next (either or WSO or in general.)
