Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, I had a beautiful journal entry all written up on Sunday, but when I clicked to post, it all disappeared! gonk Ends up I left it idling for too long, and it auto-logged out or something. I wish they'd fix the login feature, because its an enormous pain to login and re-login every time I open a new browser window.

Lets see... I took the SAT II's on Saturday. Writing, Math II, and Physics. I personally think that 20min is far, far too short a time to write a good essay in. I mean, when are you ever, in real work time, going to have to write an essay like that unless you're the incredible Slacker? 20 minutes! Even AP tests give you 30min, an increase of 50%! DBQ's are 45min! College entrance essays are however long you want to spend on 'em! Etc, etc, etc.

Add to that the fact that I really, really, really should've studied for the physics portion, and SJ is a sad panda. I mean, I know all the concepts, I have them down pat. But the specific equations? Eh-heh. At least I know I got that q = i * t if i is constant in respect to t. sweatdrop Who knows what else I got wrong, though? I was never great shakes at optics, or heat engines. Strangely, the stuff that we learned latest in the year stuck in my mind the least. Funny how that works.

I had my braces taken off today! Hurray! The many years of tyranny have ended, to be replaced with a paradise of apple-eating nougat-guzzling freedom! Well, not really, but I'm happy none the less! The operation took about an hour and half, and was very uncomfortable, because they also put in a retainer as well (the non-removable kind >< wink . Putting in a retainer is a process that involves a diabolic looking device that props your mouth open and several large wads of cotton to soak up saliva and make your mouth unbearably dry. I survived, barely.

Enough for the moment, I must do my homework. Reading a short story for English and over 20 huge pages in the history book, uguu~

Song of the Moment - Worms Make Dirt, by the Aquabats. Crazy, crazy, crazy song! I love every second of it. I learned about this song when a friend brought over a CD of her music, and was playing it in the background. I heard this tune, was instantly hooked. Its just so... off the wall! Its brilliance!
