Ah, the writing for the ACT was scored! My final score is still a 33, so thankfully the essay didn't bring it down any. I got a 9 out of 12 on the essay, which is actually loads better than I thought I'd get. So now we just have to see how I did on the SAT. Those scores won't be posted until Oct. 24, though.

Not much to say about today. A few weeks ago we were put in groups in French and had to make specific desserts, and so I volunteered to just make my group's myself (well also because I wanted to go Ariel's birthday thing, and that was the day we had planned to do the dessert) and today they were due and I really liked how mine turned out. I'm a really picky eater, but I really liked the dessert. So, uh, yay for that!

I still haven't seen Lost. meh. I'm not particularly anxious to see it, either. Maybe tomorrow. Watched Everybody Hates Chris and Everwood tonight, but nothing much to say about either.

Yesterday was fun. Hung out with Jackie, Emma, Soan, Justin, Ariel, Jessica, and the trombone who's not Caroline who's name I can't spell (Hari? Hori? Something like that.) at Del Taco, and then went to the football game. That wasn't quite as fun, but it was more enjoyable than the ones freshman year. The show was kind of a disaster, but eh. We did only learn the last few pages Wednesday, and we've never run first movement straight to second, so it could've been worse. After the game, I went to Lee's Sandwiches and met up with Annie. More people were supposed to come, but the only ones that did were Soan and then a bunch of people I'm not really friends with. But it was great being able to see Annie. :)

This morning was the ACT. All the sections except the essay were so much easier than the SAT. Seriously, if you're a junior/senior, take the ACT. I mean, take the SAT too, if you want (I'm planning to), but... take the ACT just to see. Because I know Richard said he got a way better ACT score than SAT score, and it's a lot less painful test to take. The essay sucked, though, because it was like... more specific, and I wasn't prepared for that sort of essay. I think I did really horribly on it, actually. I don't think my examples had anything to do with what I was supposed to say. And I remembered I was going to say something else at the end, but I forgot about it until our time was up. blah. At the end the person was saying when we'd get our scores, and she was all "They should be mailed in about 47 weeks" and I was all "...uh... wait a sec...?" And then someone asked her and she was all "What? No! I didn't say 47! I said 2 to 4!" And I would've understood if she said 4 to 7 because that sounds like 47, but I don't know where the seven came from when she was saying 2 to 4. But. Anyways.

I heard Friday morning on KROQ that Head Cases has already been cancelled. It's a little disappointing because I did like the show, but I wasn't incredibly invested in it, and I already have both Veronica Mars and Lost to watch Wednesdays at 9. But still, after only 2 episodes? geez. And I thought cancelling Wonderfalls after 4 was bad (though Wonderfalls > Head Cases).

So yeah, I've decided for sure that I'm just going to do the seminar project this weekend. Then I'll give it to Seher Monday and she can tell me if there's anything she wants to add/change, and we can maybe talk about how to present it if we have time. The only thing I'm afraid of is that she may do it all herself, too. But that's ok. We can just choose whoever's is better and use that. In any case, I'd rather get it done with and let her take all the credit than just leaving it and hoping something works out that we could work on it on Monday.
