What deadlines do to Tory:

The SAT. The scholastic aptitude test. A ten hour long test where I find myself half way through saying things to myself like “No one cares if it takes Jorge 2 hours to paint his room with 8 cans of paint because most likely he’s going to take breaks and he will, at one point, be interrupted with a cell phone from his girlfriend who is at work, but it is slow and she is bored and wondering if he is doing anything that night.” Oh yes, the SAT. On June 3rd I will take my fourth and final SAT. My first one in the eighth grade was a significant factor that helped me get into the Scholar’s Academy, and now hopefully these last three will get me into a good college. My only problem is this: I suck at taking tests. I study, do not get me wrong, I always do…but I freak out right before the test. Always have, always will I guess. Of course, I do not act different before hand. I don’t get a good rest; in fact, I stay up till my usual hours of midnight or worse. Also, instead of the “hearty breakfast” I should be eating, I grab some micro waved pizza or (in January) a Baby Ruth bar. I do stuff at least two bags worth of mints in my purse, and suck on them on the occasion I am waiting for the administer to say “time’s up” for section 92. Alright, I admit, I exaggerate here. If my test taking was truly as atrocious as it seems I would not be here in Scholars Academy (What, you thought I got here on charm?), but it could be better. I guess all I can do is study, review, and hope I do not ask myself if Jorge’s wall colors match the curtains.

Not bad for 15 minutes if I do say so myself ("Tory is that article ready? the deadline was yesterday." "What? Oh..um...yeah...lemme just do a few...corrections..yeah.")
