In Cross Country, our team finished fourth in the Regional Championships, making it to the State Championships. I hear that we are the first school to make it to the state level our first year. I ran my best time at Regionals, but not as well as the coaches wanted me to. My time for the 5k (about 3.11 miles) was 18:38.
School has been very difficult. On Friday, and today, we had mid-terms (we are on block scheduling). My Physics exam was easy, but the Spanish III exam was harder. I didn't know any of the cultural stuff or the geography stuff; I think that that stuff isn't necessary in learning the Spanish language. I got a 96% on my Biology exam, which is ok, I suppose.
On Saturday, I took the SAT for the second time. I didn't have my calculator this time, so one of the sections I didn't complete. The other sections seemed slightly easier, but the essay seemed harder. The first time I took it, I got 510 in Critical Reading, which is below average; 610 in Writing; and 720 in Math which is about 95th percentile. My dad said that the reading score is unacceptable, and that I have to get it to at least 600.
Tomorrow is election day, so I don't have school, which is why I have time to post today.posted by James Cassell at

It looks like the SAT's have changed since I took them in '84 and '85.
Most adults you talk to will tell you how UNIMPORTANT the SAT's are in the course of your life unless you can score a perfect score.
The SAT's will have no effect on your life 20 years from now.
They are not that important but don't tell your dad I said that.
