SAT

Okay, so you probably freaked out because I said that if I didn't post my scores, then I didn't do well. Worry no more. I simply forgot to post them immediately (funny how even when I don't have school to worry about, I still forget to blog). Anyway, here are my scores:
Math- 690
Critical Reading- 740
Writing- 650
Total- 2080
Not to toot my own horn, but I must say that I'm pretty smart.
Because I beat a senior in my youth group (he scored a 1700), my youth pastor is taking me out to lunch. We're going to Mongolian Barbecue! I love that place. You can make just about any combination of foods that you want.
That's all. I don't know when my next post will be. Maybe tomorrow. I have some tests I'm taking today to see if I can get into a college class at Ivy Tech or IUPUI.
Wish me luck!

SIXTEEN

Yay! I am now sixteen years old! I'm so proud of myself for having made it this far. Of course, I had help from my family, friends, teachers, youth pastors, and of course, God. Thanks guys!
I had tons of fun this past weekend. On Friday, I had two of my best friends over for a sleep over. We played Xbox and went to see the new Robin Hood movie. It was pretty good, although the plot wasn't what I thought it would be. Still a good movie. Then on Monday night after the co-op's performance I went to another sleep over at another friends house. We walked in a huge circle through some fields. Since it had rained, it was like a mud pit. We ended up taking our shoes off so we could actually make some progress. Then we stayed up watching movies until 4ish. The next day we rode our bikes to Frosty Boy. Yum!
Today, I am going hiking at Turkey Run with some friends from co-op. I've never been, so I hope it's fun.
I get my SAT scores today. If they're good, I'll tell you. If I don't tell you, well, hope my parents haven't killed me yet.

THE END

Yesterday was the last day of co-op and it was awesome. First, we had this huge test in physics. It actually was only twelve questions long, but they were tough. At least they weren't as hard as our teacher could have made them. I know I will only get partial credit on two of them because she mentioned a couple mistakes right after I turned my test in. Oh well. Too late to change anything. This week we have part 2 and part 3 of the test.
Drama went very well. The first run through of the play was not so good. Several people forgot their lines. Come on! It's the last practice before dress rehearsal! Know your lines already! Anyway, second rehearsal went really well. We had only one minor mistake (on my part). Yes, I know I just said that we should have our lines memorized, but my line is really a string of short sentences ("Uh-hu. Thank you. Thank you very much"). I accidentally said Oh yeah instead of Uh-hu. Since I'm supposed to say it like Elvis, I threw myself off track and had to cover by saying something different. At least it wasn't a total flop.
then I drove (yes!) to Starbucks and got a half price frappuccino. Then we went to Caleb's baseball game in which they won by infinity to like, seven. Plus, since it was cold, I ran around the ball park and scored my best time for running a mile: 6.5 minutes! Yes!
That's all. Hopefully once school ends, I will have more time to do things blog worthy.

GOOD GRIEF!

Good grief! I haven't posted in ages. My life isn't very busy. It is (or, was) just school, school, and more school! Not anymore though.
First, I took the SAT. I hate tests, but I hate tests that last more than three hours. However, I believe I did pretty well. I don't think I made any huge mistakes in my essay, my critical reading seemed easier than usual (hope that's a good thing, not a sign of total failure), and the math went very well. I only left four or five questions blank on the whole test, at least three of them math questions that totally stumped me. I hate graphs, did you know that?
Anyway, I have better news to tell. Guess. No seriously, guess. Ha! You're wrong! I am definitely not going to China with a purple elephant as a buddy. Good try though.
Actually, I am going to (play fanfare here)... The Naval Academy for a summer camp! Woohoo! I applied early March and I've had to wait forever to see if they accepted my application. They had to check our grades and our activities outside of school to see if we had the right qualities. I guess I passed the "test" (I hate tests, especially ones that take two months, did you know that?). At the week long camp, we'll learn about engineering disasters (such as the titanic), cryptology and code cracking with computers, computer programming, and robotics. We also get to go to the Air and Space museum in D.C. I'm totally pumped. I'm leaving June.
That's pretty much it. Once June comes around, get ready for a stream of posts. I'll have so much to talk about. And you have all summer to read my posts. Isn't that exciting?!
