So I heard that I got the job today, and I'll probably be going in for a practice run a week from this weekend... I may have to cancel a dance thing (grumble...but I probably should anyway; it's dead week...I reeeeally don't want to, though...) anyway, that's definitely a praise. Now I just have to whip up an application and find meself a day job. I know it sounds like a whole lot of work this summer, but most of it takes place at night, and I think I'm going to have a ton of free time, which is great because I've had barely any this semester. I am at least hoping to do stuff with the Enid VBS and goof off at my house. And CLEP. Oh yes, we shall be doing CLEP. Speaking of CLEP, I've got the Freshman Comp test this Friday. >_< 90 problems in 90 minutes. Eeeyuuurrrsshhh. I shall be reading Strunk & White and doing other intolerably dull exercises until then. But it shall all be worth it--a semester or two of Freshman Comp-free class schedules. =)
Onwards...
I'm very glad to be done with the last Saturday. ACT in the morning and emceeing at/performing in a dance gig at Couch Park in the afternoon...it was fun, but I don't want to do it again. I think I did better this time 'round on the test, too; I was definitely less stressed with Science Reasoning. It all made sense and I wasn't so scrambled for time, although I think they should at least give us another five minutes on that section... and maybe thirty more seconds on the math section would have helped. I had to leave a problem blank because I figured it out right before she called time and didn't get the chance to fill in the bubble. I am very mad.
Anyway, I need to go make dinner and then study biology and catch up on some work. Thankfully my math's all done...it's due tomorrow, and the one question I didn't have done this morning she went over in class today...took the entire class period, so I'm glad I didn't have to work it on my own. =)
I'll be writing some of you emails soon...should probably call others of you... and if that wasn't a vague statement I don't know what is.

Hub ub um.... Dr Who? It's something I've definitely not seen/heard.
Dead week means nothing at OSU. I'm having an exam during dead week and a project. Yay!
So you're going to be working two jobs possibly? Where?
The problem section of the Freshman Comp was a piece of cake, the part that aggravated me was the essay. I thought I did a really good job on the essay, using my extra time to go back and check. Then afterwards I find out that it's graded by a computer and probably didn't understand half of my "elegant" analogies. I built a tight case for the issue, gave examples, and hammered my point home dead on point. The computer disagreed. I had to retake that part, which again.... aggravated me. I hope you do better, you certainly are better at writing than I am.
Computers grade essays?! How does that work?
I'm sure you'll do fine, Inky. I'll be praying for you, though. I'm so glad that you got the job! Sounds like you've been pretty busy, though.
I don't think the quote is Doctor Who. If it IS, then it's one that I haven't seen. And the chances of Inky seeing one that I haven't are well, slim to nothing. :-D My feeble guess is either Jane Austen or your professor. *Cringes* Probably neither, but I'm not cheating. Yet. ;-)
