ACTs (long blog post, also longcat)

Today was quite a long day. I thought I’d have enough time to do my art project in those two hours between my dismissal time (1:30) and 3:30, when SAT prep starts, but apparently not. That ACT test I was talking about yesterday was actually scheduled for today, and I saw people getting papers during first period telling them to go to the auditorium some time later in the day. I didn’t get one, so I assumed I wasn’t taking it (I gave in the $9.20 fee like… two days ago, and it was supposed to be collected during the first two weeks of October).

So sixth period came, I went to the library and did my homework, and went upstairs for my last class of the day. Well, this lady was waiting outside and she asked me if I knew this one person. I was like “I am that person!” and she told me I could go down to the auditorium to take the test, and I was all “okay” and I didn’t have to go to my last class. I went down to the auditorium, got my test, then realized that I was going to do my art project but the art teacher probably wouldn’t be there after the test ended, so I ran out to get some charcoal and paper so I could do it at home (more on this later).

I don’t know

Nothing really interesting happened today, so here’s a random flash with a bunch of random drawings and a nonsensical plot (well, there is no plot). Tomorrow, we get a half day, so I get out at 11, yay! Actually, I just end up missing one class, because on Fridays, after lunch I have two free periods and then Junior Inquiry, and we don’t really do anything in there. But it’s Friday, so getting out early is always awesome. Some people have a half day every Friday anyway, since they have like all free periods after lunch… I envy them.

The SAT prep guy is seriously hilarious. I cannot begin to describe it. So I won’t. Instead, I will talk about the PSATs, which I took today! It was kinda easy except there was one passage about a princess and some queen and the princess’s grandmother or whatever, and I was like “wtf are they talking about” and it was really boring and whatnot. I probably read over the passage like five times before I finally understood what was going on. And yeah. That’s it.

Today wasn’t really that interesting at all, actually. So of course I had to make up some things. Oh yeah and I also added WakiMikoReimu.com to the links on the right side. Check it out, because it’s awesome.

Oh! I just remembered an insignificant point of interest! The Anime Club’s flyers posted around the school actually ask people if they have watched anime such as Naruto, Bleach, and Dragon Ball Z. Now, I was just making fun of typical “anime-watchers” in my flash about school clubs when I said that they probably just watch Naruto and Bleach (and now Dragon Ball Z, apparently), but these flyers confirm whatever suspicions I had. I should have known.

SAT prep (RTFQ)

I went to the SAT prep thing today, at 3:30. I got out at 1:30, so I had two hours to do stuff. I ended up going to the art room and finishing some of the stuff I haven’t finished, and then I went to the auditorium and sat there watching people do things. SAT prep started, I went to the room, and got two really huge books (one of them was like, some book with 11 practice SAT exams, and the other one was like… the thing they use to teach).

It’s not as boring as I thought it’d be. The guy teaching it has a nice sense of humor, always making jokes and whatnot. The thing in the flash actually happened, and everyone was like “wow you’re stupid” and the teacher dude was like “It stands for… fill in the blank. Read the fill in the blank question.” Quite lulz. If there were stand-up comedians who did things about SATs, I think this guy would probably be one.

I got my practice SAT (the one I did on Saturday) back, and I got either an 1860 or a 1932. I’m saying “or” because I’m not sure whether I should include “grammar” and “essay” in the total score, or if they’re part of the writing score. I think it is, so I probably got a 1860. 660 in math, 590 in reading, 610 in writing (64 in grammar and 8 out of 12 in essay). Way better than I thought I’d get, especially for the essay. I didn’t even get to finish it! Pretty awesome.

Yeah, I guess that’s it. Oh right, and just as a very unimportant note, one of my books of graph paper ran out of… graph paper, and so I took off the… ah it’s kinda hard to explain. But I took the spine thing out and it was pretty cool. Carried it around with me all day. Then I got a deck of cards (well, 35 cards found scattered across the auditorium) and started putting them in there. It was cool.
