Busy week?

Yes, I know. I'm a senior. I should have plenty of time to blog. But no, I don't. Just believe me...
Tuesday: 21/164
Day 2+Rosh Hashana=easy day.
In psych, we started the next unit, since Boschetto wanted to give a test, but couldn't due to Jewish holidays! In AP Chem we did a lab where we separated Koolaid. It was loads of fun (*eye roll*). In orchestra... we were bad. And then in math I made my common app account. I'm so annoyed because of my 3 schools I'm applying early to, only caltech requires Common App. So I'm stuck doing 3 apps in the next month. We had an NHS meeting during X block and then I went home. And apparently Northwestern lied to me. Not a semifinalist. Just kidding... I had a lesson and then did lots and lots of homework. No fun at all.
Wednesday: 22/164=11/82
FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER! AND a half day. Another good combination.
So day 3... we talked about sleep in psych (which made me very sleepy), we discussed our essential questions in sr. project, we had a mini quiz in humanities on 2 books of the Iliad. I had only read one. But I think it still went well...
And then I did something in math (not really important, I'm sure) and then Griff talked in APES. Really very boring. So I got home around noon, did some homework, worked on my common app essay, fun stuff. Yeah, really, my life is boring...
Thursday: 23/164
SUPER AWESOME!
So it was a day 1, which usually isn't that great, but it also played host to my first field trip since freshman/sophomore year.
So I had senior project free first where I caught up on homework of some sort, then AP Chem, where we started chemical reactions (redox!), then humanities, where we "made ancient Greek music". Okay, I applaud Mrs. O'Toole for the idea. But ancient Greek music is more than just choosing a mode and putting words of the Iliad to notes in that mode. But it was fun. And then WE WENT TO A FARM. So Griff has a share of this 1 acre farm in Belmont and we got to talk to the lady and do work for her and in return we got community service hours and an education and I got out of gym and we got free food. It was so much fun. We're going back in the spring to help plant. SO EXCITED.
So then we got home and I studied for SATs, did homework, went to NRCB, scheduled my recording (!), and studied for 2 tests that were on...
Friday: 24/164=12/82=6/41
So my great week led to a horrible Friday. I had 2 tests, in a row. Psych was uber easy and AP Chem was weird. I'm not sure what I think yet. And then nothing for the rest of the day. When I got home, I had my dad go with me to Stop and Shop and grab all those SAT essentials (cereal, pencils, trail mix bars, VitaminWater... etc). And then I went home and watched the Red Sox until 11 and went to bed.
Saturday:
UGHHH. SATs!
So this is my LAST time ever taking SATs. Honestly, I could get a 600 composite and I wouldn't retake them. I swear. I think it went well. I'll let you know on October 23rd...
So then I went to YPO where Zander told us that he's going to teach Obama how to speak. Ugh, he is so cocky. But I admit the string section is AMAZING. It's incredible.
Sunday:
To quote Zach Sheets: "TGIS"
GBYSO DAY!
So it really was a pretty boring day. Like really boring. I barely played at all. But for whatever reason, when I'm at GBYSO, I feel happy inside. So it was all good. It turns out I don't need to directly ask Fed for a rec (thank goodness). And I talked a lot. And got through about 300 lines of Iliad. And before GBYSO I set up my MIT interview. Wednesday at 6. AHHHH. Nervous nervous nervous.
And now I'm home, blogging when I have a mountain of hw. So I shall do it now.
