| This is gonna be a short one. I have to get to bed soon. I'm just really scared for PSATs. If I don't get National Merit, I'm dead. And that's totally unrealistic. I think my parents don't realize that getting national merit is not like getting into uf. Not everybody in IB gets it. All the prep things are telling me not to stress out about it, and all my parents are doing is putting a shitload of pressure on me about this NMSQT. They really really need to figure out fast that I am not as smart as they think I am/want me to be. All the time I get this shit. My mom the other day was like why do you have a B in english? You're really good in english. I'm like wtf. Since when am I good in english? WILL is good in english, and I suck at it. It's like my worst subject second only to history. I don't know why they think I'm good at it. Because I got A's in SRCS english? HELLO! Freaking easiest crap ever. If you're literate, you can get all A's in those english classes. Just venting some frustration, not really going anywhere with this. The book that I got came with a CD. Damn I wish I looked at the CD before. I thought it was just practice tests, so I saved it for today and did the other practice tests in the book and from english class and whatnot. This CD is really good though. I'm going to go back through it later for the SATs, cuz it's for them too. The whole cd starts out w/ a nervous wreck cartoon guy. "The SAT test measures your intelligence. If you do poorly on it, you are a bad person." Then the narrator of the cd says why that is wrong. That it doesnt measure intelligence, but your ability to take the SAT. You have to type "Relax" into the little box to move on. Next it was a cartoon girl. "Colleges only look at the SAT scores. After this test, we all walk around like soup cans with bar codes on our heads so they can just scan us." Then they say how it's only a test and colleges look at much more and it's not the end of the world. You have to type "I'm no soup can" into the box this time. Just good for people stressing over this crap like me. Thought I'd share. If anyone wants an illegal copy if you haven't finished all your SAT testing, talk to me. GRRRR to Madame Bitch for giving us a test tomorrow!!!! I have no time to study freaking french! I have more important things to do! And why does she always give us tests the class right after we have a substitute?! We get no review! I dont even know what is on this test! Sophomores, my french grade is in your hands. If you don't listen to PSAT directions, then the class will be too short to be able to take the test. Our goal for tomorrow: 7th period to be less than an hour. I'll leave you with a quote from a choice on one of those personality quizzes. Leah sent me this one. "I like my eggs like I like my alcohol, in a shotglass filled with alcohol (minus eggs)." |

DragonSpeaker | 10-21-03 5:10pm Parents generally suck. -.- Not much else to say there... sometimes siblings suck more though. I am the older, standard setting kid in my family, so I don't know how it actually feels to be forced to try to live up to that... I think being good at English is an inborn thing.. you seem to be better at the mathematical subjects... I'm on the flip side of that particular hypothetical coin though. I don't know how much I could help out for verbal SAT junk, but if it's analogies that hurt you, I know some tricks.. [/end ramble]

Beagle147 | Re:, 10-21-03 8:35pm Parents do suck. You should be glad you're the oldest. You got to be an only child when you were cute and didn't do chores. -.- Thankfully, flattery works well on Madame Mechante, and we convinced her that surely the best french teacher in Florida would not give us a test on PSAT day! Now we have a test next class.. Oh well. I'll burn copies of the cd for you guys when I'm not so lazy. |
