The ACTs and (very little) Other Stuff.

Um. So. Today I took the ACT. Which most of you know. And it was actually way easier than I thought, except for some of the math problems. But we haven't learned any ad.trig yet (we've only learned the basics) so I had no idea how to do some harder trig. And I don't know how to solve for cos, sin, and tan. and whatever. But that's not my fault. So there.

English was easy, finished with 12 minutes to spare (since I had to read and re-read stuff. Don't judge me. :P) and a lot of the questions made me think, "Ummm, DUH?!?!" It was pretty much just like the MCA, just a little harder (only SOME of the questions were completely stupid and obvious! :O).

Then was the math test, which I finished with 4 minutes to spare. I used those 4 minutes to try (and fail epically) to figure out the advanced trig stuff without any knowledge of the uses of cos and sin and tan and stuff. So yeah. It started off with the easy stuff I learned in like 6th grade, like polynomials and factoring and (can you even believe it?) exponents and "|x+-x|-|2x-xn| = ?" equations. Really. Seriously. Honestly.

Then there was a 10-minute break, where we all went into the hallway to get drinks and stuffs. When I got back, the girl sitting to the right of me (Mikaela) turned towards me and went, "So, you're either a really young-looking freshie, or maybe--it's a stretch, but maybe a sophomore...even though I've never seen you before...or you're in middle school. I'm thinking middle school. Right?" I was kinda caught off-guard, cuz up till then I just got weird "What-the-heck-are-you-doing-here??" looks from the other people. But I nodded anyway. Then the girl sitting in front of me, Cassie, turned around and asked, "Umm, so how old ARE you? Cuz like...you know?" So I told her I was 12. Cass and Mikaela looked at each other like O_O and then we kept talking. Mostly about high school and stuffs. (They're both sophies, and really nice. Mikaela's funny.) And then Mrs. Whatever-her-name-is (totally forgot. The test overseer lady, who's a science teacher) came in and we started testing again.

Reading test was next; I finished with like 15-ish minutes to spare. Just had to read (average of) 2-page-long essays/stories and answer questions about them and what was written right there, in the paper, word-for-word. There were essays about the hydrocycle and about some Chinese lady who wrote a cool novel and whatever.

Then science; I had about 6 minutes to spare with that one. There were some questions about the scientific table of elements, which I didn't know (we're doing that stuff towards the end of the year, so I haven't memorized it yet), but mostly it was just biology, physics, and some genetics.

Then we took a survey thingie, and I went outside, called my mom, and talked to Mikaela some more (Cassie's mom was already there to pick her up). She jokingly ranted about me finishing my reading test before she did, and how that was SO unfair since I was so young and whatever, and talked about which teachers were good at JHS and which ones weren't so good, and stuff. Mrs. Whatever is supposedly a bad teacher. Haha. Then her parents came to pick her up and she left.

My mom finally got there at about 10 to noon, and we went to Office Max to get me a new graph paper notebook for math (my old one died horribly, along with everyone else's. Basically everyone got the same kind of notebook, and it SUCKED. :P) and some awesome highlighter-colored paper (with matching Sharpies!! Haha.) and stuff. Then we went to Bruegger's Bagels and I got some sandwiches and chips and cookies and stuff. And it was delicioso. Then we went to Caribou and got some extra-awesome-chocolatized hot chocolate. It was also delicioso.

Aaaaand then I came home and chilled and talked to my brother and sister (Spencer and Kali) and kicked butt in some Facebook UNO and then Kali left :( and Rae came on :) and I talked to Spencie more.

And then I finished this post, FINALLY.

Peezowt.

- "Alright, so remember, you may not use a calculator on any test but the math test." -Mrs. Whatever. "*raises hand*" -Mikaela. "Yes?" "Not even on the English test?" "Umm, no?" "*laughs*" "An...ny...way..." Ahaha. Mikaela's funny. (:
- "Hi. I hate your voice mail, cuz it's all like 'Hi!' and then I don't know if you're really here or not, and then there's like TWENTY WHOLE SECONDS of silence and it's like, I still don't know whether you're really there or not.
