Today we really did nothing in class which was good. Our whole class just had to write an essay for 80 minutes, but other than that we did nothing. Watched some movies, played some games. I wish everyday was like this.

I've hated this week. I'm a teacher's assistant, so I've got to grade students' homework. There's about 40 students with 11 problems each (for this assignment), and it took forever. That was Tuesday. Today they had their first test. I said I'd be around for a couple hours beforehand so they could ask questions. I expected maybe 1 or 2 people to show up, but a big group came and was there the whole time. Not that that was so horrible, but it's stressful thinking their grades are in my hands, and I could tell someone something wrong and they could miss a bunch of points.

For my Thursday night class, we were supposed to take a tour of a supermarket, to see their refrigeration/cooling system. I was supposed to get there between 6 and 6:15, but since I had to go in early to help with the test, I took an afternoon nap and didn't wake up until 6:30. I made it, but missed about 1/2 the tour. The day wouldn't have been complete without me screwing something up.

Wednesday I had to give a special presentation. I was working on it the night before and sent it to the teacher for his opinion. He said what I had was ok, but I needed to cover these other 4 methods (non-destructive testing methods). That was a litte unexpected, but I got them in there. During the presentation I got tongue-tied and didn't always speak sensibly. I was supposed to aim for 30min for the thing, and I think it was 25-30, even though it felt like 45. Looking at the students it seemed like they lost interest about 1/2 way through- thats always a bad feeling.

I hardly took notes until multiple years into college. I started getting sick of having trouble with homework problems, only for the teacher to say we did something exactly like that in the notes.

Being a college student, when you finish a test. You can just leave early. I really like that.

That reminded me of something I heard about yesterday!

Apparently, some sophomores told of a kid who was doing their exit exams, and when he was finished, he just stood up, and walked right out the door. Everyone was freaked out, and when he was asked where he was going, he said "Outside." Despite all the officials telling him multiple times to sit back down, he didn't listen.

The whole thing shocked nearly everyone in the school- no one would do such a thing.

Good for that kid, haha. I don't think I've taken one college exam where the Professor had forced everyone to stay until the entirety of the class was finished. It's pretty cool to be able to just leave after you're done.

Argh, I had a hard english test today that I think I got a 70 on. :( I had a VERY long week. I would be glad that the weekend is here, but we have math homework and a huge religion test on Monday.
On the bright side, the Valentine's Day dance is tonight! :D :D

Oh man, I requested on-campus housing for next year (again), but they never sent out the e-mail confirming or denying that I'd received a contract. So, I check the website and lo and behold, there's the contract, just waiting for me to fill it out. The due date for submitting it was today at 5 PM, so I really dodged a bullet there. I just can't believe they wouldn't send out a confirmation email at all. I wonder how many people will end up having to search for apartments next year because they missed the submission deadline.

Mine was okay so far, had a few friends and disputes but they were all forgotten, I turned back on everything unnecessary.

First time taking the ACT and earned a 28 composite score. Science portion kicked my ass but still received a passing 19 lol. For anyone who has taken it, are there any good study materials I could use to prepare for the next one?

A 28 is great! Congrats! I got a 28 the first time I took it, and then I took it again and got a 30 - most people do better the second time they take it, and a 28 or a 30 is plenty high enough to get into many great universities of your choice.

When I took the ACT, I just used one of those ACT prep books with the practice tests and study guides that you can get at any bookstore. A lot of them give you tips for succeeding in the portions of the test that you have trouble with. You could also take a class that you have to pay for, but you've already got a very good score so I don't think you need to spend the money on that.

I usually just wing it. If I know the subject, then I do fine. If I don't know the subject, then I don't deserve a good grade in the first place.

The only advice I can give you is that practice makes perfect. Humans learn best through actions, so just do a lot of practice work and you should be able to remember everything for your exams.
