ACT!

i just finished the ACT! Phew! All that stress for one test. I guess this IS the test that pretty much determines your entrance to the college you want to go to. And you have a lot of pressure around you to do well. But why do they give us this test in the first place? It's true, the test is pretty, and we could all answer every single question correctly but it comes down to TWO main things, that in the long run, don't really have that much of an affect on how smart you are. 1. It's timed... and that stresses you out like crazy! 2. It all comes down to how well you can take a test.  Today's test wasn't the best for me. I went in feeling very confident but i just couldn't seem to focus and work diligently. Huff... it's kind of sad when that happens, but at the same time, about 1/2 the stress in my life is GONE! After the test, i seriously thought, "what am i going to do with myself?" That's when i decided i should get my social life back and go on a date! SO, i get to go on a date with one of my best friends named Erik, and I am very excited to finally have a normal, partly stress-free life back.
