(no subject)
I talked to my mom about buying a snake as a pet:
Upon my suggestion that we look into purchasing a garden snake:
mom:"But we already have one snake in this house!"
me: "where is it?"
mom: *points to dad* "A trouser snake!"
this morning:
mom: "What do you want to eat"
me: (in sleepy stupor) mmhmmpolyester
Earlier this week, at 2 A.M. upon being awoken by my dog's snoring:
me: *jolted awake* MOM! THE DOG HAS SLEEP APNEA! *falls back asleep*
mom: ...?
Mom: *playing trivial pursuit* who said that 8 husbands was enough, played cleopatra and starred in Velvet?
Dad: MICHAEL DOUGLAS!
now onto the bore:
The ACT put me exactly where I predicted. Exactly 90th percentile. I think I'll just re-do the SAT.
The part that I thought would ruin my score (science)actually helped my score, while the parts where I expected the most help (reading: literature and writing: rhetoric, as well as pre-algerbra) were all in the 80 range ><. Suprisingly enough coordinate geometry, grammar and mechanics and science were my best subjects. This whole scoring thing seems contradictory.
The SAT2 tests were another matter entirely. The Japanese grammar questions written in as many charachter alphabets as they could muster(even more distinctions for the chinese language test)...and yet the reading section was written entirely in kana. Whaa? Listening sections would be simple enough if they didn't expect you to memorize what you were listening to.
The writing test I expected...just expected it. I hope I did okay on those. The U.S. History test proved to be the hardest because all the discerning task questions were phrased in a complex manner. I think the analysis question with the picture of the family sitting in some sort of apartment tripped me up...I just didn't get that ^^; the only things that made that test fun were the political cartoons.
Overall, I just don't know and I don't want to guess ahead because once I get it all figured out it might bother me.
