<p>The thing is, I have a good vocabulary in Croatian and I know a lot of slang and a lot of technical terms, I just have trouble writing and reading because I don’t practice. </p>
<p>I’m good at Spanish, though, just because I speak French and the two are extremely similar. I don’t think I could write an essay in it, though.</p>
<p>My knowledge of Spanish slang is probably greater than my knowledge of actual Spanish. It helps when your locker is next to Diego’s and Gato’s.</p>
<p>So how did the ACT go, kiddies?</p>
<p>rocker mcr: IB student? enjoy the hell!</p>
<p>It went.</p>
<p>I find a way to make a reference to Harry Potter in almost every English essay I write.</p>
<p>I felt like English and Math were too easy. I should have gotten at least a 34 on both of those. I’m not sure about Reading. Last time I got a 36 on Reading, but that was probably luck. I missed maybe one or two questions on Reading, so maybe a 32. Science killed me. I never have enough time on that section. Hopefully I could squeak out a 30. I just really hope I get better than my 32 Composite. Otherwise, I could have spent my Saturday getting paid at work instead of donating to ACT.</p>
<p>I killed the science. Everything else I similarly killed. The writing, however…</p>
<p>I will have to stay up all night tomorrow.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I really don’t think it’s that bad. Some aspects of it are annoying, like CAS and the EE, but it’s not nearly as unmanageable as everyone pretends it is.</p>
<p>I own far too make v-neck sweaters.</p>
<p>ME TOO. That’s the extent of winter Tennizzle clothes sold.</p>
<p>I have no excuse. I could go out and buy any range of winter attire within ten minutes. However, I don’t own any ridiculous “American Apparel Deep V” shirts. But I know a number of people who do.</p>
<p>solid zip-up hoodies ftw. </p>
<p>My essay is going nowhere. Nowhere I tell you.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m most comfortable with zip-up hoodies too. But my hipster school has slowly killed my sense of right and wrong and I can even sometimes appreciate metallic leggings. Not on myself, though.</p>
<p>Metallic leggings, huh? Your school sounds more interesting than mine, by senior year everyone here dresses like a slob. Sweatpants, jeans, hoodies, gym shorts, and old camp t-shirts. All the little freshmen come dressed to the nines though.</p>
<p>Imagine walking into an American Apparel or Urban Outfitters store. My school would look identical, just all the mannequins would be alive. </p>
<p>The freshmen at my school dress normally, but they start to become like everyone else with every passing year.</p>
<p>Really? Are there fake brick walls, ironic books laying around, random pieces of furniture, and ridiculously obscure 2nd wave indie folk albums?</p>
<p>My time management skills are pitiful.</p>
<p>Most students at my school dress like slobs too. I, however, enjoy dressing up, so I usually look nice. I’m always dressed nicer than my boss at work. I usually wear jeans that fit and a polo in warm weather. In cooler weather, I start adding layers. Today I’m wearing fitting jeans, a thermal Quicksilver shirt, and a zip-up hoodie that’s black with a big eagle on the front. It’s rather emo-looking, but I like it. And it’s warm. I dress nicer to stay at home than most students here dress to go out.</p>
<p>The Common App is driving me insane.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Code word for skinny?</p>
<p>I don’t own any baggy clothes, but my shirts and pants are never too tight. I really only own one pair of pants that could be considered “skinny” and I never wear them. But either way, I look better in clothes that aren’t baggy.</p>
<p>If anyone knows any good articles about how body language varies by culture, I’d appreciate it if you’d send them to me. Because ToK is killing me.</p>

<p>Same here…</p>
