Awesome.

Today, I took a math quiz on boring functions and linear combination with three variables. Ugh. One of the questions was about writing a system in which a tortoise and a hare rematch (from the famous story, "The Tortoise and the Hare") and how the tortoise gets a 30 minute head start. And then, we had to find out when they are at the same place, and how far from the starting point would that be. It turned out to be some random two-digit number with something like 7/11, so it was basically like, yeah, at 42.2464646464 seconds, they were at the same place. I was very worried, because algebra problems usually have very normal numbers, such as 42. Or better yet, 50. Here I was, getting repeating decimals, and I was just thinking... well, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?????!!! And then the teacher said, "Okay, hand your tests up." And I did. So much for that.
Then, I just checked OASIS, and I got a 110/100!!!!! I wasn't really listening when he was explaining the test before he started, but my mind usually pays attention when a teacher says "extra credit". I feel so happy right now. I guess it's little things in life like that that really makes life worth living :) Especially after moving away from all your friends right before high school... And it also helps if your calculator can solve systems of equations with 2 or 3 variables. But I didn't cheat! I did every little step and wrote it out because we had to show our work (obviously). I'm just saying, it's helpful...

I get the "Offical SAT Question of the Day" thing sent to me and I'm really failing the English... Stupid random vocab.
