"Answer all of life's hard questions with a pencil
Because you never know when you need to go back and erase.", It's a
Conundrum how we use test taking techniques for love.

Don't answer the question until you've listen to the directions.  
Evolutionalize yourself, baby. Think before you act, and sometimes
Fear is your best friend. It keeps you prepared.

Ganbatte kudasai.
Hai, sensei. Ganbarimasu.*

If you can't figure one, there is always at least two that are ridiculous and
Jumping to conclusions doesn't make you right.
Keep your eyes on your own paper...in the
Long run cheaters really do lose.

Maybe all these things are true, maybe not. But don't expect me to
Neatly bubble in my life. I'm wild. I skip from question to question. I
Owe no one. Not even the proctor who handed me a pencil. I work in
Pen. Every etching will be permanent so I cannot forget.

"Queer girl", they all say but I cannot change who I am...
Risks are the marrow in my bones, and isn't love just one big risk?

Some answers you don't know. You just have to take a chance.
Time isn't of the essence. There isn't an hour-glass glued anywhere. Just look
Up. There is all the time you need, through the clouds and sky. I don't need
Verification, or even a grade. I just need you to love me, darling.

We'll live with the wrong answers but it'll be right for us. We'll make
X's and O's all over the scan tron sheet. Perhaps I am just
Young. Perhaps I am just foolish...but I work with
Zeal. You cannot expect me to not love the same way.
--*Ganbatte- in Japan, teachers tell students this right before they take tests. It's like saying "good luck." It literally means "do your best", though. Apparently in Japan, they don't need luck when they have a day of school dedicated to test taking( otherwise known as "Juku" or cram-school).
Well I've officially finished with the HSGT...all I have to do is wait for my scores to come back and see if I get to graduate. *deep sigh*
