Anyway the SAT's were long and boring but not THAT difficult so that is good. I definitely did better on the verbal... but the math wasn't... impossible. I think I did pretty well :)
It would have been better if I didn't have the Yentl soundtrack stuck in my head the whoooole test:
Liz's brain: "Alright... numer 13... if x = y and y is half of z then what does z's left coordinat....
'...why settle FOOOOOOOOR just a piece oooooof SKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYY!!!!'
oh no... okay x is the right coordinate of... r squared so that would mean tha--
'Papa I can hear you! Papa I can see you! Papa I can feel you... Papa watch me FLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (note goes on for 10 miutes) AHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY--'
oh golly. Please stop brain!"
And there I am telling my inner soundtrack to please stop playing because it is making it difficult to concentrate. And I am promising it that if it is quiet for 3 hours I'll listen to PLENTY of Barbra when I got home. But alas... it kept on playing. And here I am listening to Barbra AGAIN anyway. Ah well :)
I have to babysit tongight and I am just so sleepy. I might go nap now. Later!
