Okay. I guess I will write a quick update about how my week has been going (if you really care...).
As you may have inferred from my previous post, I took an SAT today. The test was sooooo looooonggggggg. I arrived at the test center (a high school about 10-15 minutes away from where I live) at about 7:45. I thought the test would begin at 8:00 and end at 12:00. I told my dad to pick me up at 12:00- but made a huge mistake by telling him this.
The test actually did not end up beginning until about 8:40 (it took a while to get into the rooms, and the proctor had to read all the directions before we started the test). The test didn't actually end until past 1:00. My dad waited for over an hour for me. I felt so bad, but I couldn't contact him because I forgot to bring my cell phone. It wouldn’t have even made a difference if I brought the phone, however. The rules were that you could not use phones during the test.
So while my dad was waiting, I was furiously trying to answer math, reading, and writing questions. There were about 10 sections on this test (one 10 minute section, two 20 minute sections, and seven 25 minute sections). I also had an essay to write.
I can't tell specific details about the test questions until I get my official scores (talking about the questions is apparently against test center rules), but I can tell that the test went a lot better than I thought it would go.
I took a practice SAT in March, and ended up not doing so well. This practice test was at the end of a week of standardized testing at school and I didn't study at all for this test. The one I took today, however, I have been studying all week for. The studying helped tremendously to get me used to the question types on the test. I have no idea how well I did on the test today, but I know I will have done better than I did on the practice test in March.
Next up:
PSAT- Oct. 18
ACT- Oct. 25
I hope I do okay on those tests as well.
Another major thing that happened this week is that I got my braces off on Wednesday. It was so nice to get those things off! Now I don't get pieces of food stuck in my teeth after I eat (I had to clean out chunks of food stuck in my teeth after every meal when I had braces.). I also have straight teeth now instead of crooked ones.
Here are my weekly workout totals. For some reason, I have been feeling like posting them a lot lately. I have no idea why. Maybe to give me motivation?
The week ended with a nice, long bike ride today to blow off steam after the test. It was such a great ride! I love riding my bike!
Weekly totals: 9/28-10/4
Swim: 6h 50m
Bike: 3h 10m
Run: 1h 30m
Yoga: 57m
Total: 12h 27m
