I retook the SAT. The new SAT is ridiculously long, and I hope I did well. The math was still easy, but I may have made a couple mistakes or something. The verbal wwas the usual BS. The essay was okay. It was about whether it's better to leave the past behind you or to build off it. I said that it was better to build off it and talked about how history is learning from past mistakes and science is building off past accomplishments. Included references to the Holocaust, the Gilded Age, the development of modern atomic theory, and astronomy. I then started to talk about fencing to include the personal angle, but I ran out of time.
The SATs started at 8:30 and I didn't get home until about 12:30.
Unfortunately, because I had the SATs that morning, I missed a really cool Lasertron lock-in the night before.
I saw Star Wars Episode III. I thought it was pretty good, and I'm glad that I can actually talk about the movie for once instead of constantly telling people I haven't seen the movie yet while frantically trying to avoid spoilers.
We got yearbooks. Coolness. Lots of signing.
I found out there are several conflicts in my schedule. AP Calc is only offered 2nd and 5th. AP English is only offered 5th, and Web Design and Film Studies are only offered 2nd. AP Government/Economics is only offered 4th and 6th. AP Chemistry is only offered 4th, and AP Physics is only offered 6th. So I had to drop my Web Design and Film Studies, and replace AP Government/Economics with Regents Government/Economics. Apparently many other students have problems with conflicts with AP classes, especially AP Government/Economics. It seems stupid that all these AP classes are scheduled on top of each other, considering that a student who is taking one is likely to be taking the others. So I have started to a petition to have the AP classes rescheduled in a more convenient fashion.
