Well, I have to say that quite a bit can happen in just a day or two, for one, a person can attempt to fry their brain by studying for a test that could possibly affect their choice of future college, and pull an all nighter in doing so. The problem with me (and most likley my greatest threat to a successful college cramming schedule) is that I cannnot function if I pull an all nighter.
After I stayed up all night studying for the test not (thank God) the day of the all nighter, but today, the 12th. So I at least had time to sleep that off. Ugh, I don't know why but Summer seems to have this weird thing about making me nocturnal. Must be all the free time, or some sort of magnetic polarity that screws with my internal clock and tells me I should turn into an owl.
Moving on...Today I took the ACT for the first time. If any of you from ACT inc. are reading this (I highly doubt it since this thing just started not too long ago) don't throw a hissy fit I'm not going to say anything, I wrote down the promise to not spill the beans. I woke up around 6:30 am, the test was at 8, so obviously I had some time to kill.
Funny thing about the ACT I thought I was gonna be nervous abut it, apparently not. I managed to convince myself that it was just like the highschool ACTAAP without the AAP...It seemed to work out. I took the writing portion along with the rest of it, so I had to sneak in a snack so as to not starve myself (I'm not anorexic or bulemic so that is not an activity I enjoy).
I grabbed a vitamin water Focus, mostly for the taste and the fact that the word 'Focus' caught my eye, and a bag of goldfish (which I managed to spill all over the floor about five minutes ago...no seriously). My dad drove me over to the campus -yes my father drove since my mother is terrified of me driving, I may explain that story later- and dropped me off.
It's amazing how I can get lost in a building without even trying, but at least I found my way around with a little bit of help, and direction from a Russian woman who scared the ever living out of me. She reminded me of some bird of prey, and she was a teacher so that explained the steelyness (The woman meant business).
Well, after a lot of stair climbing I managed to find the ACT room I was supposed to be in. I think I did fairly well, though I almost froze to death from the air conditioner (I forgot a sweater, plus it's summer I didn't think I'd need it), and during the math portion this kid kept sniffing and breaking my concentration. I got through Math easily, the part that terrfied me most. But it was Science that I had trouble with surprisingly...I had to guess on the majority of those and scramble on the last seven due to time constraints.
Break time rolled around and I ended up sharing my Goldfish with a few kids. It's amazing how the 'Snack that Smiles back' can bring up some interesting conversation...
Anyway...I think that's all I've got to say for now.
