Today (because today is really the last day), I have to take this online math placement test for Muhlenberg. I'm a little nervous. I really did not anticipate having to take a real math test ever again. My plan was to take classes like 'The History of Math' or like, 'The Effects of Math on Modern Society and Culture', or even, 'Math for People Who are Stupid' (requirements; an IQ under 15/ has more than 35 games on his/her graphing calculator). Part of me has kind of been operating on the policy that I didn't have to actually care about anything since I graduated high school. Which I mean, I guess that was a little bit of an overreaction. But jesus, I didn't dance around in a shiny blue polyester gown for nothing! And it sucks because I haven't taken math since January, whereas everyone else taking this test (with exception of other JDS people) just finished senior year. Wait, hold on, I'm not complaining, because yeah it was awesome that I graduated in the middle of the year. But I mean, fuck. I really wish I didn't have to take a test for them just to tell me that math is obvs not a career choice for me. I could tell you that. In fact, I just did. All I know, is that I am going to end up in a class where part of the curriculum is re-learning the multiplication table. I have to take a foreign language placement test as well, but for some reason I'm not as worried about it. I mean, Hebrew...not a real language. Also, I'm a little impressed that I was able to write a whole paragraph about how stupid I am without using the word 'retarded'. I am totally ready to be a camp counselor.
Before I left, my dad found an Ipod Nano on the street in our neighborhood. Originally it didn't really work and it also had a lot of crappy music on it (so I wasn't really motivated to find the owner or fix it). However, faced with not having an Ipod in addition to Jason being like, "Hey Rachel, did you ever think of plugging into the computer?" (wow, no....this is why I am bad at critical thinking). So we plugged it into the computer. And wow, I feel like a dick, because it now works. Obvs. So basically, I have an Ipod nano now. Except that my dad wants it. Which is fine, I guess, because hopefully I'll get my old one fixed. Ooh or maybe get a new one, because the people at the Apple store should feel sorry for me that I was one of the few poor suckers who bought an Ipod Photo. I'm just a little hesitant to give it to my dad because we both know Don will just fill it with things like the Bueno Vista Social Club and the soundtrack from that dumb romantic comedy with Jack Nicholson. At least my mom is like, The Beatles! Eric Clapton! Etc! God knows how my brother ended up listening to Swedish Death Metal (why did that get caps?) and I ended up the way that I did (bad at math).
p.s.
I just took the test. I suck.
