Right, so on the 23rd, I'm going to have to take the PSAT. Unlike all the PSAT books like to say, this does count. It'll determine what high school I get to go to: A magnet program, an International Baccalaureate program, or the high school I'm zoned to go to.
Like the title says, I'm a little nervous. I mean, I know I'll do pretty well, but how well is well enough? I have to get a pretty damn good score on it if I want to get into the magnet program. They judge on an essay you write in your application, the ITBS score you got, and your grades. Luckily, my ITBS scores are pretty good, if I say so myself, with the exception of the "Maps and Diagrams" section (apparently, I can't follow one worth crap), and I've got good grades to back me up. My essay was crap, though, because it asked why I would be a good candidate for the program, and the only thing I could think of was "Good point. Why the hell would I be a good candidate?"
Don't comment on my self-esteem. I get that enough from friends to know that I'm being irrational.
So, basically, my future pretty much depends on this test. It's like life is saying, "No pressure or anything. It's just that if you fail this, you won't get into the magnet or IB program, and the chances of you getting a scholarship drastically drops, oh, and did I mention you're college fund is nonexistent? Silly me. Well, it is, so your chances of being a worthless bum on the street is very likely! Oh, did I scare you?" Yes, Life. Hell yes.
I probably should be studying, but I'm such a procrastinator, it's not funny. Ah well. Thanks for reading this.
Oh, and does anyone here know what stores or whatever hire 14-year-olds? I'm not going to put all my money on a scholarship, so I might as well start making money during the summer. Please tell me some places you know of, or refer me to a website that lists them. Thanks much.
