Life Lately...

Lately...

• I have been going to school, doing school, living school, being school..... Okay maybe not the last one, but it seems like all I do is wake up in the morning and go to school, then arrive at school, come back from school, sleep after school, wake up and go to school the next morning. See? It's a cycle that goes on forever (i.e. 5 days a week for about 9 months)
• Except that we are on Christmas break right now. Or are we? We still had to go through 2 hours of Math today and 3 tomorrow. + we have our midterms after the break, which means....
• I have to study for my midterms and...
• For the SATs because I'm taking the January test
• We had a parent-meeting at school last week and I love parent-meetings, I can't help it
• I realized that I can solve math questions and watch movies at the same time, and this is a very helpful skill
• I am expecting (an iPhone, not a baby you idiot) and that is dope (be jealous)
• I have a new character besides Maggie and her name starts with a V 
• I read The Great Gatsby 2 weeks ago, Dear Dumb Diary (which is just hilarious), and I am currently reading I Am Malala
• I AM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BECAUSE THE FAULT IN OUR STARS MOVIE IS COMING OUT JUNE 6TH AND THE MOVIE POSTER IS SUPERB
• School is standing in the way of my reading, rereading novels, blogging, writing, drawing, and watching TV activities
• But I shouldn't mind it, because I am a huge believer in the power of education (it's true)
• I've been gaining weight because a) I haven't been exercising and b) they have good unhealthy, fattening food at the school store and c) mom just baked THREE cakes (!) and finally d) people who are in grade 12 need more food (especially chocolate) than the regular person. It was scientifically proven
• I am currently writing this blog post in a messy living room (weird, considering that my I-can-spot-a-mess-from-miles-away mom is sitting in the same room as me)
• And that is about it

I might even have to stop blogging altogether for the next 4-5 months because of school. Which is no fun, but I need really high grades this year. (!)

How has your life been lately? :]

Thoughts on the Day of the SAT

Before the Exam:

• Woah, there are so many kids here. I'm not the only one taking the SATs then.
• Oh, God. Look at all those beautiful girls in their nice clothes.
• I wish I left my hobo-looking-jacket in the car.
• Why did I wear this jacket?
• Look at that girl's scarf. Love it.
• Now compare that girl's scarf to my own bulky scarf.
• ...
• Those chairs are so small!
• I can't believe I'm taking the SAT on such a small chair.
• I'm thirsty.
• I'm so desperate for water, I might just ask the girl in front of me for her bottle.

During the Exam:

• WHERE ARE ALL THE VOCABS I MEMORIZED?
• WHY CAN'T I SPOT THE VOCABULARY WORDS I MEMORIZED?
• This Math is easy queasy.
• This question is not easy queasy. I think I just jinxed myself.
• Why does the Critical Reading have to be so... so ugh?
• Thank God it's a writing section now.
• TWO CONSECUTIVE CRITICAL READING SECTIONS?
• Too many instructions.
• Really? So I can't tell my mother about the essay topic? (-When the proctor told us that we shouldn't discuss the essay topic by any means, "including, but not limited to, e-mail, text message," etc, etc..)

After the Exam:

• What. Just. Happened.
• My head.
• My back.
• My legs.
• My stomach.
• I'm hungry.
• Where's dad?
• Did I just spend 5 hours in this place?
• I'm hungry.
