I took the ACT. I think my average score was a 28. Or maybe a 26. Something like that. I don't understand the SAT scoring, so all of the numbers today are like a different language to me.

I have new hair! And tomorrow I dye it. I'll take pictures then and post them.

Cindy, I have some ideas for you. I'll put them together and either post them or e-mail them to you.

My family has a history of depression too, Sophia. Right now, I am depressed, but I think it is situational, between my neck acting up, and because the anxiety has been so oppressive. I just feel like I need a break with those two things, and the depression would float away. I've been talking to my older cousins. A few have a history of anxiety striking in their 30s (I'm 37, and the baby cousin), and it sounds nearly identical to what is going on with me. I suspect hormones.

I am just happy to be a part of the first fully functional generation of my family, without, you know, trips to have electro-sonvulsive therapy.

Thanks Hil, for the SAT info!

Thanks, vw. I was looking at your description of your homework the other day, and thinking maybe I should do something like that.

My SAT scores were very skewed as well, 790 in verbal and a total score of around 1200 if memory serves me, so what's that...410 in the math...yeah, not so hot there.

I have no clue what my SAT scores were. They weren't awful, but I guess not fantastic. There are times I wonder if I could find out what they were...

I never could figure out the scoring. I also can't remember my scores. I was a National Merit Commended Scholar from my PSAT results. I think those were 650 English and 560 Math. I think my regular SATS were higher (I took them junior and senior year), but I can't remember for the life of me. I also took the Achievements, but can't remember them at all. Why can't these people just score on a scale of 1 to 100?

Gulp. This is a tough room. I got 1250 on my SAT's and was happy about it. Ah well, life is cool when you are happy being average.

Oh Nora, I so didn't mean to come off that way. Everyone above me was posting these incredibly high scores, and I started to think... huh.

Sorry, sweetie.

Somehow, I had imagined a sound designer to be much more MATHY!

Mine are ingrained in me, as I had the highest in my schol which was a little bit of a surprise, because, akthough I was a top student I wasn't THE TOP. I think all the mathy people had a much harder time being verbal than I had being mathy.

Kristin! Did you know DLM was cancelled? Dammit.
