The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I don't think so.

mostly because the topic is inherently uninteresting

that said, on topic:
I'm stressing about the SAT. I just took a practice test and got somewhere between a 1900 (bad) and a 2200 (acceptable). (They only give you ranges because different forms have different areas weighted differently)
I have almost no extra-curriculars, no community service, and my grades are fairly average (although I take demanding courses), so my SAT score is my main selling point for getting into college. The test is March 1st. I'm worried.

It's not a bad thing to go to a community college for two years. Cheaper as well.

When I was your age, the SAT was out of a possible 1600 points.

I got a 1030 on it, but I didn't give a fuck.

EDIT:

2200 out of a possible 2400? That's more than just acceptable..

So I'm going to a tech school for half the day next year. Then the other half of the day I take my normal classes. I'm taking computer tech.

about to grab a coupla hours sleep. my typing has gone to hell, which usually means I've pushed myself a bit too far.

Dude 1900-2200 is great. I got a 2170 and I got into one of the top universities in Canada. You should be fine.

Once in high school I attempted to stay awake as long as possible just for the hell of it. I lasted four days and three nights before I succumbed.

I thought about doing that, but I heard it was really bad for you, so I decided not to. Did you suffer any side-effects after it was over?

Once I went for a fortnight using the following pattern at night:

stay awake for 2 hours
cat nap for 15 mins
another 2 hours awake
15 mins more...
...and so on and so forth.

I got up to date with all my work, finished writing a 40k codex, leveled a WoW character to 70 and finished painting an army, but, goddamn, I felt so shit for the entire period.

Wow, that's impressive.

I got a 1750, because I pwned both English sections and was mediocre on the math. And they gave me half the time I needed to finish the essay. It still got me into one of the better state schools in the country, and an invitation to the Honors College here, which I accepted.




Just got back to my room after hanging downstairs for a couple hours, recounting the events of the weekend. A lot of my friends went on a trip to Quebec city, which of course turned into a total drunken shit-show with all the kinky details.

SATs are gay

SATs are gay

Indeed

 

[Zephyrus]

Didn't do well?

 

[The Ozzman]

I got a 1030, but I did better on the ACT. However, none of that matters (or ever mattered) because I have a college degree from a good school

 

[Zephyrus]

Looking at my work schedule. They gave me tomorrow and Wednesday off for some reason. But they have me working Saturday which is unusual. But I'll take it because I have shit ton of work to do.

waiting for Danielle to call. she must be working late.

I'm kind of glad I didn't have to take the new SAT. I took mine my junior year and did better than any of my friends so I didn't really give a shit. I wasn't really looking to get into any Ivy Leagues (though, oddly, one of my hispanic classmates who did worse than me got accepted into Princeton and I didn't, and I know for a fact that I definitely had a better interview session than he did, which leads me to believe that I was the victim of affirmative action. Not that I wanted to go to Princeton anyway, but still, that always bothered me).

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Heh, affirmative action. I never understood what it "affirms"...racism? WTF?

Just read that Slayer won this year's Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Who cares.

 

[cookiecutter]

What did they release this year?
