"Having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."
Very little has happened here on the Eastern Front. I'm still in England's, and since it's getting so late in the year and I'm going to be missing four days of school here in November, I'm thinking that my chances for getting out are dwindling. Too bad too, because being in a class with Amy and Chrissi would have been fun. Oh yeah, and a class where the teacher teaches would have been okay too. But alas, hope is not dead yet.
Guess what? Tomorrow (i.e. Friday) will be one month for me and Alanna. =D I'm feeling very…HAPPY!!!!!!!!!
So, I really don't have that much to say as far as updates go. Celia's still pregnant. Her parents are flying in from Portugal in December. Halloween party at Amy's house. I have no idea what to dress up as. Maybe a sexy vampire. Or a dorky vampire trying to be sexy. Who knows.
I find myself anticipating my trip to D.C. more and more. I get to leave Austin on Election Day, so it will be fascinating to be in the nation's capital right after such an event. Well, fascinating to me, anyway. Super-nice hotel, business formal wear required, ball thingy the last night, meeting Senators and Congressmen and seeing all of the sights of D.C.…it's just going to be fun. I found out that I was offered this opportunity because of my PSATs exclusively. Not just what I scored, but also because of that survey we filled out before the test began last year. I have no idea what I answered, and I'm not entirely sure if my score was a good one or bad one. I've been told it was good, but the scoring system of the PSATs and SATs escapes me. Is 178 on PSATs good?
Well, that was boring up there.
Geez. I was just looking through the PSAT practice packet (it's a measure of how little is happening in my life that I'm focusing on the PSATs so much) and it looked pretty easy. Honestly, I was surprised last year too. Everyone made such a big deal about the PSATs, but when I got in there, they weren't that bad. It was like if the TAKS had had a cup of coffee instead of orange juice. Nothing major. Morgan especially was freaking me out last year, but I haven't listened to her this year much as far as prepping for the PSATs go. It's just a test. If you look at it as any more than that, paralysis sets in, and you freak yourself out of doing well. That's how I've always felt about TAAS and TAKS as well. PSATs? What's the big deal? They were easy last year…
Boy, this was a boring post…
