Before I Sleep

Tomorrow is the big day. The SAT.

I think for most high school students the very name of this test can cause a sense of dread and fear. Most study for months and have terrible night mares about their impending doom. I guess you could even say that for some high school students it is the worst three hours of their life.

I took a far less dramatic (and probably less effective) approach to the whole situation. First of all, I procrastinated in actually taking the test. This was not entirely intentional. I planned on taking the last test of the school year, but when I went online to register, my mother and I realized that I could not take the SAT that day. It was the day of my brother's graduation and my grandparents were coming into town. To say the least, that plan epically failed.

Unfortunately my next chance to take this frequently dreaded test is tomorrow. So, I am waking up at 6:00 to take a test on a Saturday. It will be heaps of fun!

Anyways, back to how I prepared for the SAT. Instead of taking classes, hiring and expensive tutor, or tutoring myself, I decided to be a good student. I mean, if I've paid attention in my classes and tried my best then I should do well. So, what I'm trying to say is that I didn't study at all. When I say that I feel like there are thousands of piercing glares piercing through me. But really, why should anyone besides me care? It's my grade and the only way it could possibly effect you is if we are competing to go to the same college, in which case you should probably be happy, because this should give you the upper hand.

So the night before this test, I have prepared very little in the sense of any studying. I bought a tripod for my video camera, watched an episode of Sailor Moon and an episode of Bones, then went to see Pride and Prejudice at my school where I got to see some friends. Just before writing this blog I did look up some helpful tips on the writing portion.

I feel I've prepared well. I'm calm, well rested and honestly don't feel as if my life depends on making a good score on this test. The only thing I dread is waking up so early and taking a test on a Saturday!!!! It's so WRONG!
