stuff
hey, im hear listening 2 bittersweet symphony (great song!) well, lets c.... so 2day i took the ACT. im supposed to get extended time on all my tests, as i do at school. i got the extra time on the SAT (apparently the college board excepts every1 who applies, as long as the school has), but i was rejected by the ACT. i guess the ACT is just a lot stricter. i think they only excepted like 2 or 3 people from loyola. its really annoying tho. i kno i could hav done well on the test, but heres wat happened: the first section was correcting grammar. it was 75 questions in 45 minutes. it was really easy, but wen time was called, i had like ten left. the second section was math, which was seriously impossible. that was 60 questions in 60 minues. i mean, how can they possibly expect ne1 except 4 the smartest math gurus to finish that section. wen time was called i had like TWENTY FIVE questions left! the next section was critical reading comprehension.that was 40 questions in 35 minutes. it was fairly easy, but i only finished like 20 of the 40 questions! im an efficient reader, i just take my time. the last section was science reasoning, and that was also 40 questions in 35 min. the section was also easy, as all it required was looking at charts. the lingo was confusing and scientific, so it required reading closely. it was easy, but i only got 20 of the 40 finished! i seriously am so pissed. i feel like i got an 18 or 19 or something. its not fair, i kno i could get like a 25 or 26 if i was given all the time i need. i dont understand y the ACT requires such strict standards 4 taking the test with extended time. i dont hav ne serious learning disabilities, i just need more time. i feel like this is seriously going 2 hamper my chances at getting in2 a good college. i hav 2 write an appeal to the ACT board, but im assuming ill get shot down 4 that 2. im so screwed, i dont kno wat 2 do. ne ways, no more test talk.
so yesterday was dorothy's going away party. its sad, bc i feel reallt attached to working at the center, and ive only been there since june. i cant imagine wat its like 4 dorothy, whose been working there for like 17 years to just b pulled out by the VA without her approval. shes a really cool lady, and i always loved talking 2 her. we could talk about issues 4 ranging from george bush and his lack of intelligence to homosexuality (shes also gay- i was happy 2 meet her partner linda yesterday). and i kno it wont b liek that 4 whoever replaces her.
so 2day i went out with tina and andreas. tina left 2 go out 2 dinner with her dad, and mark met me and dre. we went 2 the borders by loyola bc we thought we were going 2 hang out with pat later in the nte. but he called and said he was just going 2 go 2 bed. so me met up with kendall and went 2 the golden nugget on lawrence. afterwards kendall came back 2 my house. her friend tati needed a ride home, so she left soon afterwards. and here i am updating.
i cant wait until spring break. i feel really burned out and just need a break SSOOOOO bad. a week and a half of free time sounds pretty good 2 me now.
