I think that the PSATs are scored differently than the SATs, anyway they used to be. I think I got something like 98s, and I was a National Merit Finalist. I must admit, though, that it has been so long that I'm not sure; I could just be blowing steam on this.
I've always done well at standardized tests - not an indicator of future performance, as others have mentioned. When I took the SATs as a junior, I had 650 verbal, 540 math. As a senior, it was 650/650. I guess that makes sense, but it annoyed the heck out of me that my verbal didn't go up. But it annoyed the smart/driven guy at school that it went up so much without any studying, and that was almost worth it. I really rocked on the ACT (29). Even with the scores, I still ended up going to a state school - the University of Alaska is not exactly known for their history department! It was fun, though, and for the rest of my life, I can brag on living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history, which is the only good thing about living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history.
You would think that it would be easier for me to remember the GRE scores, as those were so much more recent, but I have no idea what they were. I just remember that I missed the last paper test by about a week. I liked the electronic test much better, though, because you didn't have to sit around and wait for the others to finish each section.
I still don't know what my SAT scores were.
On Saturday, I put on a bunch of glitter. I think I finally got all of it off of me. The cats? NSM.
P-C! You were gone for the DLM news! I have already cried and shaken my tiny fists. I think I'll do it again, because I'm still pissed.
Ok, caught up in Bitches. Now I go to bed so I can do it again in the morning.
ETA: Lee, I know what you mean. Last night after my bath bomb, I felt I needed more pretty. Decided to play with the glitterbug a little. Mind, this was right before bed, and for NO LOGICAL REASON.
So, I'm stupid. But at least I'm sparkly. And apparently, likely to stay that way for a while.
In case you're not really gone yet, Lilty: It got cold today and I wore my warm and toasty and soft hat and scarf. Received compliments and felt warm and pretty. I lost a glove right before my trip to CA, so I also treated myself to matching gloves today. THANK YOU! I know, this should probably be in Goodbye and Good Riddance, but I just couldn't help myself.
No, I'm still here. Apparently, I'm a big liar. I should go to sleep. I really, really should.
I'm so glad you like your hat and scarf, libkitty!! And you have no idea how strange it is to think of something I made receiving compliments. I usually worry they'll turn out like something my cat attacked. (That's why I used fluffy-ish yarn. I figured it'd hide mistakes better.)
I love that fluffy yarn. Is it Homespun brand? I use it a lot, and it feels the same but I haven't seen this color before.
Yes, it's the Lions Brand Homespun, I think. When I was at the crafts store the second time (I was a dope and picked up blue yarn the first time) I saw this fabulous green, too, and got a skein of it. (Their last.) Haven't seen it anywhere since, and so I can't decide if it should be a hat or a scarf. Probably a scarf.
Dude, I have the biggest bruise EVAH on my leg. I dropped a table top on it at work and now like half of my calf is purple. I have such grace.
Dopey with the tired, now. For really sleep. Goodnight Lee! Goodnight libkitty! Goodnight Moon!
I hope the bruise doesn't hurt too bad. No way to segue this, but I have a lovely seafoamish green in the Homespun, and like the purple a lot too. We lost a local yarn shop last year. Very sad to lose them, but the going out of business sale was like crack for me.
'Night Lilty! 'Night all!
Daniel has a new tag.
I fell asleep during VM. I didn't get half the things done today that I needed to get done. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the semester the week.
