I took my test today. It was interesting to see how different the questions were. They were easier.
I thought I was going to fail the reading because I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't concentrate because I left my phone in my pocket. And as you know that is a big no no. They have you lock all of your things up so you can't cheat or copy the test, and if they would have seen my phone they would have freaked.
I got there at 8:00 and the doors were still locked so I stood around. At 8:10 I took my phone out to see what time it was. All of a sudden the lady opened the door in my face, so I put my phone in my pocket so she wouldn't see that I was checking the time. I went in and filled the paperwork out, they locked up my belongings and I started the reading portion of the test. About half way through I put my hand in my pocket and felt my phone. I got this sickening feeling in my stomach and I felt hot and cold at the same time. I couldn't think of anything else.
Did I turn it off? If it does ring I can hit the button on the side and mute it. If they catch me will they forbid me to take the test ever again? Will I have to switch my major? OK calm down Ashley just get through the reading and raise your hand to go to the restroom... that was my decision. Wait. The whole second half of the test my mind was racing. When I finished I raised my hand and asked,"May I go to the restroom?"
she said, "make it quick."
I said, "I'll need to get in my locker."
"why?"
"It's that time of the month."
"Fine"
I went to the restroom and put my phone in my purse and washed my face. I felt like a felon. I got over it. Went back to the test and did well.
I passed my math by 7 points and my reading by 2 points. Now I have to play the waiting game to see what I get on the Writing portion. Hopefully I did well.
I have that heavy feeling lifted from my shoulders... for now... until I start writing my essay and catch up on my school work. For the next couple of days I'm going to do nothing besides watch my blockbuster movies! Yours, mines and ours, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, and Poltergeist. Weird selection.

I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Great movie. I don't think I would ever let someone erase my memories, no matter how badly I wanted to forget something. Everything that happens to you is a part of who you are so I guess you'd lose a lot of yourself.
Congradulations! Yes! Score! [enter another joyful exclamation here}
