Hasty Post II

Haven't been here a while.... Well, I probably need to call Oxford and have them redefine 'while' in their dictionaries. I have been busy, though, and with pleasant things for the most part.

As a good student, I shall listen to my teachers. For one of them has told me I need to brag more (so that people with lesser cognitive abilities know how awesome I am). So if you don't want to hear about it, feel free to skip this paragraph, but you should read it. My short story (http://www.lidovky.cz/i-treti-rocnik-souteze-v-anglictine-vyhrala-divka-fvj-/ln_kultura.asp?c=A090521_174351_ln_redakce_hrn) placed third in this competition, which is quite prestigious. They announced the results in Marriott, with a great buffet afterwards. Livia Klasova , the First Lady, was present as a special guest, her son as the principal of PORG, one of the organizers. The other organizer that is known to common Czech people is Lidove noviny, the editor of which was present as well.

Moving on the the less bragging part, I took the SAT Reasoning test today. Compared to the practice test I took, the general impression that SAT seems to give to and my anticipations, it was easy. I completed most sections on time or a bit sooner and despite the fact that I made a number of 'educated guesses', I am pretty confident about my answers. My variable section was math, and haven't I 'hereby agreed to the conditions set forth in the Test Booklet and/or on www.collegeboard.com' etc., etc., which include not relating the questions by any means of communication, inlcuding but not limited to blah blah blah, not telling anyone the essay topic until the essay is available online...... I'd tell you more. Hopefully, I don't violate anything or anybody by saying that as I was afraid of the essay topic, the one I got was good. I also dare say I did well on the essay - I have one concrete worry that concerns it, but I was able to provide a fair number of 'concrete examples' to my 'abstract definitions', which is something I usually struggle with. .... less-bragging section, there we go....we'll see when the scores arrive.

I shall now leave you, my imaginary reader, as I need to finish my resolution for OLMUN (starting Tuesday; today represents, however, my last chance to print it), write a paper for school, pack for OLMUN and a track meet I have tomorrow. Plus I plan to go to bed early, since I failed to 'prepare like an athlete and get plenty of sleep' yesterday and today, it's actual sports that I'm 'preparing' for.
