not another one.

As days past by, I draw nearer towards the test of four hours... the ACT. I have already taken the ACT once before in January and did alright. However, I knew I could do better considering I skipped the entire last reading and science passage. I didn't keep an eye on how much time I had left. Each month I am taking a different test. This month the ACT, the following month I'm taking SAT 2's, and in June (even after school is finished) I'm taking the SAT once more. I am completely stressed over these tests because they pretty much determine which colleges I can be admitted to. Actually I'm not quite completely stressed over taking these tests, but I'm sure it'll hit me later when it comes closer to the tests. Junior year is definitely filled with stress of taking these tests. I really don't think these tests measures your ability in college because there are many people who aren't good with bubble tests... like me unfortunately. I absolute can't wait till I'm a second semester senior and won't have to worry about applications or these standardized tests. We still have a month and three weeks left of school and I think it'll be a push for me to achieve the grades I want to receive. When thinking about the end of school, it also brings be to the subject of the season of tennis ending. States is during May 9th, which is exactly a month from now. I'll be missing about four days of school, which I know my mom will hate. I have never missed a day of school since high school started. Or at least I'm pretty sure, because I never had to fill out those pink slips. We've had tennis season for two months now and it has now hit me how far into the season we actually are. We're still undefeated (knock on wood) and have a good shot to taking home states. So wish us luck. :) adios
