Woke up late this morning. Not a good thing, since I usually roll out of bed around 6:20, and my clock said 7:30 when I rolled over this morning. Odd thing is, I remember very clearly that I didn't set it. I usually set the alarm, then double- and triple-check the time, and then go to sleep. I got to bed way early last night (11:30), so it slipped my mind.
During my get-ready-for-school rush this morning, I still managed to check the oh-so-ominous SAT scores. 1240. 580 math, 660 verbal. I am pleased. I wanted higher, especially on the math section, but I can work with that. I'm going to take it again in June; not so much because I
have to, but because I
want to. And if my scores ::shudder:: go down, I still have something decent.
I know some of you are probably thinking, "She got a 1240, and she's
not satisfied?" Or, if you're Sims, you might be thinking, "Is that good? What does
SAT stand for, anyway?" ;) It's just that I don't know what I want to do yet, once I get to college. (
If I get to college. Well-rounded, I am not. But that's a rant for another day.) If I head into engineering, or almost anything science-related, I'm going to need a higher math score than that. Alternately, if I do well enough on the ACT, my SAT scores won't matter. I don't know if I'm prepared enough for the ACT, though. I just found out today that they don't penalize you for wrong answers. So I have to learn a whole different strategy. And the ACT has a science section. Grr. Science is not and has never been my forte. But I can deal.
Mrs. Anderson was out today, so we sat around doing more AP practice questions. Her absence meant no It's Ac today, either, which sucked. I think our record in Avondet's class is 5-4 or something. In our second match, we won because the other team's flagpole exceeded the height limit. Yay for technicalities. Out on the track again today for gym class. It was unreasonably hot. On the flip side, my mom commented again at dinner that she thinks I'm losing weight. If I am, it's a combination of giving up two major caloric sources for Lent and participating in gym. (How can people not get A's in that class? Come on. All you have to do is show up, act like you're doing something, and memorize some SAT words. Easy.) However, I am back on chocolate and loving it. And I had my first Sprite in
ages tonight. (They seem to have Sierra Mist everywhere now.)
Got more random college mail, the new
Teen People, and my SAT score report. I only missed 7 questions on the whole test, which means I lost two points total, but I omitted quite a lot. I think next time, I'll omit fewer math. Did some homework, practiced piano very quickly (and was displeased with it), then watched
Jeopardy!, 7th Heaven, and
Everwood. Good episodes on the WB lately. It's Celebrity Week on
Jeopardy!, but I didn't recognize any of the contestants. And of course, tomorrow they'd have people I want to watch, when I can't: Wayne Brady, Vivica Fox, and Ashton Kutcher. I'm going to the mini-recital tomorrow, and Mom said she'd come back and listen after she drops Courtney off at her Girl Scout meeting. I just hope I do okay. I haven't played in front of people in eons, and I haven't practiced since... Thursday? And my nails are kinda long right now. Must do some fast filing tomorrow after school. Off to bed now.
