PSAT

Yesterday I took the PSAT. I know I know, I'm only a freshman so I can't be entered into the running for the National Merit Scholarship until I'm a Jr. (Which will possibly be next year...) But it's good practice because if you bomb the test as a Jr. you can't take it again (unless you get held back, haha :p) But not only do I not plan on getting held back I plan on graduating a year early by working through the next three summers. So I will possibly be a jr. this time next year. Which means it's good I took it this time around! :) But anyways about the actual PSAT. I think it went fairly well. I mean I haven't taken geometry so what do expect on the math section? - a lot of skipped questions that what! But the reading skills and writing comprehension sections when well. And the math that I could do (the algebra) wasn't bad at all. So my scores - which I don't get back until December - should be good. I took the P-PSAT (Prep test for the PSAT) and my scores on that were good especially for a freshman! :D So I'm not worried - at all.

Now you may be wondering about this whole 'graduating a year early' thing. Since my Birthday is in September the state of Oklahoma said that as a Kindergartener I would have 'started late' (that's the term they use) so when I moved to Oklahoma I was put in 7th grade at co-op instead of the grade that was rightfully mine - 8th grade. That was when my 'complex' started. I was always 6 months older then everyone else in my grade and would graduate highschool in 2013 at the age of 18 1/2! This fact just about killed me! Because you know how the older you get people say to you on you 14th Birthday for example: only 4 more years! Well you couldn't really say that to me because while technically I would be 18 in 4 years I wouldn't graduate for 5! And I'd still have to be at home because I'm HOMESCHOOLED! So I decided to do things my way and work through summers instead. Now that I've made that decision I tend to wonder what the heck in wrong with me! But I'm sure I've made the right one.

There is no volleyball this week because of fall break (but apparently choir, youth, and band don't believe in fall break because those are going on as scheduled. Personally, I would rather have volleyball and not the other three than the way it is now. :( But I apparently do not get a say in the matter. Oh well.

The band concert is soon! I'm starting to freak out about it, seeing as how I can't play a good portion of the music and am constantly forgetting to practice! But it's not for a grade, it's for fun so I'm sort of taking a backseat in band this year.

That's all for now,

TTFN!!!!!!!
