umm... tat? 74, 65, 66. that gives you a total of 205. do you know how amazingly good that is for a sophmore? you'll do fine, absolutely fine. most people brag if they get anywhere over 200. and you still have two years for the SAT's. trust me, you'll do absolutely great, and next year, you'll be national merit. still, good luck. oh, and see you at russian club on thursday

Well... first of, I am not normal thank you very much. (how could you possibly even suggest such a thing?) And second, I was mostly surprised since the Crit. reading is supposed to be my worst subject, whereas.... math.... yeah.... anyway, see you Thursday! And I hope you feel better. This flue thing that's going around is really awful...

lol. sorry tata. i forgot. i should have never insulted you like that. math you prolly made some careless mistakes cause the questions are so stupid, and writing... yeah, um, writing annoys me, so i'm not gonna comment about it. thanks. yeah, i plane to (get better). hey, how'd you know i was gonna stay home today? lol oh! you meant russian club on thursday. um. there's prolly not gonna be a meeting this week cause i had no time to prep for it, but i'll try to get back on track by next week. anyway, see you!

lol. nope. i didn't. i slept on the floor in ms. guiligham's classroom during lunch, cause she gave me a blanket and a stuffed minnie mouse to use as a pillow (and then somehow young thinkers gathered around me, so i was part of their circle, so i picked my head up every so often to talk, and prolly annoyed leah to no ends). i saw you come in, though... why didn't you stay? lol. mhm. just don't kill her, ok? and no causing heart attacks either. *hug. see you tati.

I didn't see you. I was looking for you. Hehe, chickened out when I didn't see you though. Eeryone was in a tight little circle, rather intimidating. I thought you'd already left. And my Spanish teacher is male. He's fun to bug. He's one of the few teachers I have that doesn't treat me just like a remarkably smart kid... (that sounded sooo self-centered) He actually talks to me like I'm a grown up sorta... (not that I am, per say, just more gown up than the other people in my class...)

Well, hopefully you have good teachers for AP's and honors next year, cause that's how AP classes usually are, or at least all of mine were - we all knew we're smart, so we just treated each other normally. that's why i like taking ap classes - cause there's not really geniuses among lots and lots of smart kids. i dunno, maybe there are, but i've never noticed at least. but then i never noticed WCI's drug scheme, apparently, so i guess i'm not very good at these kinds of things. well, even though you weren't there at the end, maanvi invited everyone to the sunday salons, so if you want, try those. don't get intimidated by maanvi and dan, though. they're smart, but all the more reason to listen to them, and learn. and then in a couple of weeks (well or months in my case) you'll be comfortable keeping up with the seniors. I started in the middle of sophmore year, though, so i dunno if you've had enough euro to know all the theories yet, but even if you don't, ppl will explain. anyway, i've got to get to school. bye.

Actually, If I've at least seen the person I don't mind... there were just so many random people there....

Post by Seventh Lass on Oct 9, 2008 16:28:33 GMT -8
seen the person where? at salon you mean? yeah... but then after 2 weeks of sitting invisibly, you do get used to the people... and if you don't wanna talk, just talk to the chair or email them before the meeting and no one'll pressure you to talk if you don't want to. but anyway, yeah, you should start coming sometime this year, prolly.

I came once this year already. You wheren't there. Anyway, I was talking about people in general. If I don't know someone who I expect is smart, I get nervous. I'm generally nervous before things, but don't dwell on the past. Unless it's a test, and then it's the exact oposite.

oh!!!! that makes ever so much more sense. yeah, i haven't been coming lately, at first cause sunday was the only day i could hang out with matt (before he left for chicago i mean) and now just cause i'm too tired. i dunno, i want to start going sometime soon again, but the next two are def out cause i have mock rock practice and yeah... we'll see after that.
sigh. well w.e. i'm sure you can figure it out tata. you might not know as much as they do, but you're definitely as intelligent, if not more, so yeah.

Mock Rock? cool. ... um, what is it?
Anyway, I took another practice test and got 64 74 69. So, 207. Better than last time, but lol, the Crit reading went down by 10 points. meh. The other two got better though. Yay!

mock rock is that dance part of homecoming - at lunch each grade does an 8 minute dance in the rally court and yeah...
that's cool. yeah, the results kinda vary lots, just cause of how short the test is. this is where the real sat's a better - they're longer, so it's not as bad when you miss one or two questions.

Yay! 'xcept the SAT has an essay.... in 25 minutes... And non of my teachers this year are 'essay teaching' teachers. My euro teacher just wants essays from us, and I have no idea who my English teacher is

yeah, except you have two more years to learn to write essays. (and don't worry, essays aren't taught, you just practice them, and believe me, euro should give you quite a lot of practice, even if your teacher doesn't tell you how to write).

Post by Seventh Lass on Oct 13, 2008 20:46:33 GMT -8
is she's the one who's pregnant and you have subs?
you should find when the day teachers give tutoring in english during lunch is, and have a teacher look over your essay. especially if it's furstie (and it prolly should be). that'd be perfect for you. well, other than that you'd have to write essays for her to look over. but it'd help... lol

Post by Imorta Thaw on Oct 13, 2008 21:40:03 GMT -8
The teacher who's name starts with the Z is our sub...
And what is a furstie... like a first timer? or... I duno....
And writing an essay shouldn't be too far in my future... we finished reading Lord of the Flies...
Plus I have a PS manuscript you can read if you're too happy and what to know a lot of statistics. hehe...

lol. ok, well good luck with your sub. she sounds like she should know how to write essays.. kinda?... maybe?... lol. there's no such thing as a furstie. furstie is a person. Mrs. Furstenthal. She teaches some soph classes, and junior honors classes, i think. and she's a really hard essay grader, and really meticulous, do even though everyone whined about having her, her replies actually help (eventually, at least. you still have to figure out how to get them to help through trial and error). a PS manuscript? **confuzzled with smoke swirling out of ears** good luck on LoF.
