today i got up extra early to drive across town to take the ACT assesment test. i saw chris there, and we talked while we waited outside for 15 minutes in the freezing cold wind. "were your ears and extremities thoroughly frostbitten before the test?" should have been a question on the student review at the end. anyway, chris saved the day, since i had gotten everything i could possibly need...except for pencils. so he lent me one. how nice! i hate the science section. give me english or reading or even math, but the science?no. don't get me wrong: i love science, with a passion, even. but the science on the tests is all about interpreting data and confusing charts and graphs. "according to the pH data experiment 3, under what conditions would the percent of enzymes in Facies G affect the number of Newtons the ants would need to exert to pull the elaiosome from the seeds?" well, i think i did better on the science on the test than i did on the practice test, since i actually tried to understand it this time around. of course, that meant sacrificing the last 4 or 5 questions to the uneducated guess. D for "Daisy...G for "Grandaddy"... got a 16 in math with that method when i took the ACT in 7th grade. i hope i did that good this time around. :c)
