Time SAT practice Blog posting!

Because my time for taking the SAT (again) in an attempt to get a higher score is drawing near i've been doing lots of practice and reading. And one thing that i want to practice, because i feel i owe it to myself, is the Essay. This was something i scored surprisingly low on. Which really stinks because i thought that since i write several essayish blog posts every week i would be able to get a super high score on the SAT essay. But i didn't. I blame the fact that i was dead nervous, and also that i was being timed and had to end it mid-sentence. It was quite upsetting. And also what really brought me down was having to write about their subject. As most of you know, i can write wonderfully about whatever i want, but when it comes to writing what some stupid SAT paper says to write about i just hate it. If only they could ask me to write about how i think video games and anime should rule our culture...then i'd give 'em the best dang essay they've ever seen! But anyway, to practice for the SAT essay i'm timing this blog post. If i go over 25 minutes then that's BAD! If i do it under 25 minutes, and still have a good, coherent blog post, than that's GOOD! So let's just cross our fingers.

Another thing i've been doing lately is getting ready to apply to colleges. I've finally decided which two i'm going to apply to, Houghton and Thomas More. And if neither of them accept me i'll either stay in Estonia, or go to Melbourne, Australia (which i think i usually spell wrong), or go to Vancouver, Canada, or maybe even Hawaii! If you want to know why i would go to any of these places then click here http://www.614network.com/training.html and check out War College, Order614 and Revolution Hawaii! But anyway, in preparing for application i've needed to gather several important things. One of these things is several academic letters of recommendation. So being a homeschooler who do i have to write academic letters for me? Well my mom, and then...ummm, who? Well, the only "teachers" i've had other than myself, the computer and my mother in the last few years has been all my Battle School instructors. So i wrote to them asking for academic letters and the first to reply was Captain Stephen Court. If you you know that name you might thinks it's cool that i have him writing one of my recommendations. If you don't know then i'll explain a little. He's written a pile of books, gotten a PHD, and is just a really cool guy. And he's Canadian too! It just doesn't get much better than that. And i was quite pleased with the letter. Let me tell you a little..."He demonstrated himself to be a young many of integrity, commitment, and seriousness, applying himself to a very challenging regime in a very difficult environment." And also..."His outstanding character and commitment make him an excellent candidate for scholarships that your college might make available for exceptional students." You hear that? I'm "exceptional"! I rock! I can't wait to get to college and everyone will be like "Oh, you're that awesomely amazing cool kid i heard about. Here, let me throw money at you, and over there is a group of your fan girls. You might want to watch out for them though, though could kill each other fighting over you...." Yeah, that would be kinda nice. But something tells me reality won't be catching up to my fantasy anytime soon. So anyway, i'm still under 25 minutes, and i'm already done! Yay! Now if only i hadn't cheated by pausing the clock every time i went to get links or qoutes, and by planning out this post before i started, then maybe this would have been a realistic test of my SAT essay abilities. But now i must go. Cya!

And now 4 minutes, 46 seconds left on the clock for revisions...or sleep....
