I’m Stoopid

Today we had the PSATs. I don’t really get why we have those. Are they practice? Pre-SATs? Practice-SATs? Dunno. I felt kind of dumb during it, though. Especially on the vocabulary questions. I was like, aaaaarrrrgggg…… biiiig woooooorrrrrdsssssuh……. blarg. I really should just look up words I don’t know in books instead of just ignoring them…. but that’s. So. Haaaaard. I guess as a result, my vocabulary is kind of abdomenibable….. I mean bad. I do have trouble remembering definitions. There are a few words that I just CAN’T REMEMBER. Like “concur.” I’ve heard that word kagillions of times. EVERY. TIME. I heard it, I’m like, “huh?” What? *Goes to dictionary.com.* Right okay. It means to agree…. or something like that.

I don’t think I finished any of the PSAT sections, either. I guess that’s not that bad, though. I don’t think I finished any of the sections last year, either, and I think I still got a pretty high score. Bah. I’m such a dummy.

Maybe I’m just lazy. It’s weird, because I hardly have any classes this year. Every other day, I have two study halls. And a lunch. Every six school days, I have THREE study halls. And a lunch. That’s four free periods in a day. Still, though, I feel overwhelmed with work. Maybe even more than last year when I only have ONE study hall every six class days. I’m weird. And school’s depressing. So I’m going to make a list of things that have made me happy lately. This blog has been too depressing. So.

Things that have made me happy lately:

  • Sleepy Hollow the movie with Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. The movie is SUPER COOL. The style is really dark and creepy. It’s really funny, too.
  • Norah Jones.
  • Martha Stewart Halloween stuff.
  • My locker. My locker this year totally ROCKS. I have three shelves in it and it’s decorated completely with pictures from movies and magazines. It also has a whiteboard, a mirror, and a little pen holder thingy.
  • Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind. It’s so pretty.
  • East of Eden, the Steinbeck Centennial Edition. Oh man, this book is really, really, really sick. In a really, really, really satisfying way. The characters are so twisted and evil. It’s too cool. And the Centennial edition has good design. And it smells good. *Sniff.*
  • Harvest Spice candles from Pier 1

    I am not sure about prep for PSATs or SATs but abdomenibable is not a word. Perhaps you meant abdominal, the adjective form of abdomen which means “the part of the body between the diaphragm and pelvis; belly”.
