TCU's business program is No. 1 in Texas...

I'm taking a break from studying math (I'm trying to get those 2 lessons done for this weekend). The SAT was actually semi-fun. When I arrived I had to stand in a long line while this guy looked at photo IDs and our registration paper. Everybody had driver's licenses and school IDs while I used my passport. Sarah hadn't arrived yet and I discovered that the test takers were broken down into groups according to the alphabetical order of last names. I went into room 218 and took my seat. The test was going to start soon and Sarah called me on my cell. She was like, "Okay, I don't know where you are..." and I explained that we would be in separate rooms and we'd meet up later. We hang up and two seconds later I see Sarah at the door to my classroom. I yelled, "Sarah!" and she looked up and we both laughed. It was probably the funniest thing ever. She wasn't taking the test in the same room as me so she had to move on.
I don't feel bad about how well I performed on the test, but I don't feel extremely good. The geometry problems got me and there was actually a good deal of whack vocab that I had trouble with. I think I made a decent score though. The results come back on-line on November 2. The last day for regular registration for the December ACT test is November 3. Also, the last day to register for the December SAT test is November 7. I was just trying to get a feel for the test this time around, in case I didn't feel my score was satisfactory.

Operation SAT

I am going into combat tomorrow. I will face the SAT and come out victorious. I really need a good score. I think this is probably the most important test I've taken so far in my life.
On a lighter note, I finally finished chemistry this week. I also worked out a plan to finish my Pre-Cal book hopefully a few days before the Christmas break. I need to start Calculus as soon as possible. My plan seems a bit steep but it's definitely possible.

1.5 lessons a day (45 problems)
2 tests on every day I take tests (no lessons worked on those days)
2 lessons every weekend

There are ten weekends left. Two lessons times ten weekends equals twenty lessons. Subtract that from the amount of lessons I actually have left to complete, fifty-five, and I have thirty-five lessons to complete on class days. I have fourteen tests left to take. Two tests times ten days (I added three days for good measure...I only technically need seven) equals more than fourteen tests, so there are a few days left over. 1.5 lessons times twenty-four days equals thirty-six lessons, which is one lesson more than what I'll need to finish. We have thirty-four or thirty-five days left in the semester. So I should have a few days leftover after I finish the lessons and tests. Sound confusing? Good.

All I have left to finish in English III is a research paper and a small amount of bookwork. It's my goal to finish that stupid paper this weekend.

This afternoon I went with Sarah, Miss Kay, Ansel, and Andy to the U.S. Air Force recruit office. Sarah learned more about the Air Force, took a pre-ASFAB test, and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow with the recruiter we had been talking to. I'm thinking that she's really going to do this and I'm definitely happy for her. I would actually consider doing this if I didn't already have some goals and some direction for my future. The programs sound really good...good educational programs, good training, and good money. Talking with the recruiter was interesting. We found out that Sarah can't really choose any college she wants to go to. She can get college credits on the base, or she can go to one or two of the Air Force colleges they have. Something like that. This week has taken an interesting turn of events, to say the least. Even just a few months ago it probably would've seemed absurd for Sarah to really be considering this. I would totally consider this if I didn't want to go to college and go on to other things.
I just voted for what I think Toby's new record should be titled. The three options were:

*Portable Sounds
*The Color of We
*Feelin' So Fly

I voted for "Portable Sounds." "The Color of We" had the most votes. Toby's releasing his first single soon!!

Crazy teenager, crazy life

So today at school I've been discussing with Sarah what we're going to do with our lives. Our immediate and long-term future. She has been wondering what she should do and I've been wondering what college I'll end up going to, what major(s) I will pursue, and what career(s) I will earn my living from. It's been interesting to talk about. Sarah has decided to check out what the military could do for her. She wants to get her college paid for by the military and then work the required amount of time for them.
I went to my sister's house over the weekend. They are going to name their baby boy Samuel Morales! I'm going to be the crazy aunt who picks him up (and his siblings after my sis has more children) from school with my tobyMac blasting and such. I'll buy him ice cream and then say all these crazy things to his friends. Speaking of tobyMac, he's actually releasing his new album in February. I went on his website a few days ago and the first single is supposed to be released this month. I'm so excited!
Hmmm, I've been deciding if I want to make this blog public or just keep it with me. I told some people about it but I'm about 99% sure that no one is reading this (which is fine). I just don't want to tell people about it and then have no one ever read it.
