"Cut My Hair, Cut Out My Cholesterol..."

My SAT scores came back to-day! And they're quite decent, really, which makes me happy. I got a fairly low maths score, but it was higher than what I'd expected, so. ^__^ Nice to know.

And on the way to the Oriental house I nearly ran over a turtle, an eensy dark flat turtle, and since it's a busy road I pulled screechingly into a bank and ran back along the concrete, which was all summer-day hot and I had no shoes, and grabbed the turtle and put him on the side of the road he was trying to get to. He didn't appreciate it, but since a motorcyclist came by just two seconds later I think it was probably better for him in the long run.

I also was distracted by said incident and pulled out the wrong way onto the highway, but by some miracle of fate I managed to get turned around before somebody hit me. I have no idea why God looks out for the idiots.

But it was a good day. ^_^ I came home and cleaned my room.

Yay! for good SAT scores. ^_^

Oh dear! for almost running over a turtle. O_o

I knowww, I was a little nervous. But I think they're good enough for Juniata, and that's all I wanted.

I almost didn't see him! O_O he was so eensy.

At the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, there's a big handpainted sign to tell people to not squish turtles. They have great big migrations there, and the roads are absolutely covered. It is nice to get out and walk and pick up random turtles and wonder what their names might be.

Eeeeeee. That's really amazing. I want to go there now.

*snuggles* I'm glad you didn't crash! Or run over the turtle! (But driving without shoes, miss, is Bad Stuff! You minimize your control almost as much as you do in flip-flops!)

Is it awful of me to be curious as to your numerical scores?

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Me, too! to both. (...Really? O_O I have never had any trouble, I do it occasionally.)

Um. 700 Reading, 800 Writing, 600 Maths.

(It gives you a curved rather than a pointed pivot, which means you can't pivot (i.e. brake/gas/switch between the two) as quickly as you can when you have shoes on. Which is usually good, because it means gradual brake/gas, but which is Bad Stuff in the case of an emergency, when you absolutely must brake quickly.)

Oooh, those are impressive, miss! ^___^ Congratulations!

(Oh, wow, I had no idea. so I should probably have my shoes on, then, when I'm driving? Eep.)

Really? ^_________^ I don't know much about SAT scores, really, but--yay! Thank you.

(*nodnod* It'd help. Also, it provides better support and might make your feet not hurt as much as they would if they were bending all the time to push the pedals.)

They're good--800 is perfect; 700 is very, very good. 600 is still substantially above average.

(Ohhh. Well, okay, I'll do that. ^^;;;)

Oh, goodness, I didn't know! ^_____^ Yayyy. So they'll probably let me into Juniata, then?

[identity profile] gileonnen.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely! ^_~ (I was from before the time of the writing test; I'm still waiting for my writing score on the GRE, but the system's all but identical.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! ^__^ (Ooh, yes, that's only new, isn't it. I expect your score's going to be great.)

Congrats on the SAT scores! And ACK, so glad you survived your highway mishap! Going down the wrong lane is terrifying. :P

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! And gahhh, I KNOW. I was all 'la la la WHY ARE ALL THESE CARS COMING AT ME?!?'. O_O Have you done that too?

[personal profile] bewareofitalics 2007-07-01 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, when I was in LA. In the dark. *dies*

Omg, how awful. O_O *clings*

Seriously. But I survived! Um, obviously. *g*

Yay! That's a relief.

[identity profile] snowyofthenight.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, congrats! We're done with standardized testing! :D

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ooo, you took yours? How did you do?

[identity profile] snowyofthenight.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, pretty well. I could take them again, but I don't want to. XD

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, right? Who wants to take them again? XD

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally.

[identity profile] tomecatti.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew you'd do well! Because you are smart!

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2007-07-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Ohplz. XD
