So many people I know have such interesting stories about their love lives, from the charmed romance to the heartbreaking disaster. I was thinking how fun it’d be to do a little collection of short stories documenting short and sweet vignettes offering insight into the modern college student’s experiences in love. now, how’d i’d write it and pull it off is another thing. it’s time to work dem writing chops!
.. and speaking of writing chops. what happened to mine?? at one time, I was sort of decent at doing this “english” stuff. ok, I’m going to brag here, since it sort of came up over the weekend, and I hadn’t thought about it for quite a while. this miss pearl whose blog you are reading now was, despite her crappy high school gpa (hahaha) was quite the test taker. I got a 1430 on my SAT, which I took 4 times trying to break 1500. I probably should have studied a bit, although the time I didn’t study, the test was easy enough for me to nap after finishing my verbal sections early — and for me to get a perfect 800! the only catch was that I got a 620 on math (ouch!). I got a 790 on my SAT II writing, after getting a 590 the first time. (yay!). AP testwise, I got a 5 on my English Language and a 4 on English Lit (I slept a little bit too much during the test on this one. heh). I napped during *all* my important tests. and while I didn’t too fantastic, I did decently well.
so the big question is: what happened? see? test scores are clearly not everything, as proved by ME. it gives me a little bit of consolation in how smart I supposedly am, but it doesn’t really make me feel any better. i’ve been on dead brain mode for the past couple of years and have been struggling to get back in the swing of things. I miss my brainy environment at home. how did I get so ditzy?! oh yeah.. that’s right, I started majorly slacking. -sheepish-
.. which is exactly what I’m doing now, isn’t it? heh. ok, I guess it’s time to get back to work.
