It is perhaps a new record that I have not posted in this long (although I’m sure there have been much longer, but this is the longest in a great while). When was my last post… like October? Holy crap, I completely skipped November. Sorry turkey, you don’t get any recognition this year.
You probably all know how busy I am with school, and it’s true — I’m being worked to death and I barely find time to do leisurely things, yet alone, this website. But it doesn’t mean I’m putting it to waste — hell no. We’ve gone a long way to say good-bye now, so I’ll leave with this and of things to come:
On December 2nd (this coming Saturday), I’ll be taking the SAT. Hope to get at least over 1000 and I’ll be one happy person (forget those 1600-perfect-scoring bastages who waste their lives on studying! That’s overkill, even for me).
On the Saturday following that (December 9th), I’ll be caking the ACT. I expect nothing shorter than 30, in which the test’s contents will do little to faze my current elementary knowledge — it’ll be a test of me against time. So little time is given in the ACT, it’s ridiculous, but everyone needs a little challenge, so I say, BRING IT!!!
Oh, and I promise a new layout will come this winter break (next week or the week after). No more holding back, I’m serious.

School…I don’t even remember what it’s like going to school anymore. I’ve been off for 11 days. Thanksgiving break + 5 snow days :-P. Wow, SAT’s huh? Glad I’m not taking that. The tech college I’m going to be studying recording arts technology for two years at is “open” which makes school life so much easier for me. I’m not taking a lot of the tough classes that everyone else is taking because they all think they have the money to make it into a university, lol. (not that you won’t)
Actually, I have almost nothing to get into a university, but that’s not going to stop me from getting into one.
Haven’t seen you round LLP for a while so I thought I would check to make sure you are still alive… I’m not really sure about what SAT and ACT are about, but I wish you luck with them anyway… well, by now you have done the SAT but I can still wish you luck with the ACT thing. I always thought they were school related things… so why do you do them on Saturdays? Ah well…
I’ll be away from LLP for awhile, my website’s currently hosted on my friend’s computer for the time being. I’ll probably be back for LLP around summertime (May/June-ish).
The SAT and the ACT are US national standards assessment tests. Every country with a formal educational institution has one (including yours). You can think of them as national standards-based test to see how well students are performing at the country’s set educational standard. Here, the ACT and SAT scores are used for colleges to review applicants.
Well, we have a thing called SATs which I guess are the same (For some reason Americans say Math and we say Maths… must be the same issue there) but we do them 3 times in our lives up until the age of 14, then we do something called GCSEs at the age of 16 which are really to give employers an indication of how well you work for those that drop out of school early, then we have A-levels which are split over 2 years (ages 17 and 18) which are the last exams we take at school and university’s review our results from them.
