AHAHAHA THE PRE-IB TEST IS DONE!

I knew there was a critical thinking part of the test, but it was actually pretty different than what I expected. In getting into MACC and for the mini schools test, they give you like an IQ test-ish thing, where they ask you to memorize a bunch of gibberish words and analyze patterns. I thought that this test would be something like that, but instead it was about critical thinking skills like assumptions, inferences, and things like that. Margo and I had a #DEBATE moment afterwards--the assumptions section was something that we both got all excited about. See, in debate, Mr. Hauck always used to tell us that you never make assumptions. He said that you have to explain everything to the judges in a debate, and through practice, Margo and I got really good at the whole assumptions thing. So afterward, I said to Margo, that the Assumptions section was so debatish and she and I had a bit of a AAAHHHH moment in total connection. It was actually pretty funny. :) I find that we have a lot of #debate moments these days, because we're both really dedicated, PLUS WE MADE IT TO PROVINCIALS AAAAHHHH!!!! Okay done. Anyways, we're also doing debate in English, and debate is a big part of my extracurriculars. There are actually so, so many things that debate touches on, like good public speaking, persuasiveness, and other things, so debate is actually helping me develop a lot of skills. Also, it's fun. :)

The block rotation on Monday's going to put English first block! Yay! :) I really hope we will debate on Monday. It's done by voting from our classmates, so I really hope we'll get lucky. :) Sadly, though, the block rotation will put PE last block, and I absolutely detest having PE last block! It means I usually don't change after because I'm usually going straight home and I just shower right away, but I don't like the feeling of being sweaty in the car and going home. I guess the good thing is that we don't have to sit through more classes all yucky, but I think it's best having PE 2nd block, because you have a lot of time to change before and after, and I'm not afraid of being late. I'm really slow in changing, and 4th block is the worst for changing, because you have basically 5 minutes to change. 1st block, 2nd, and 3rd all give you good times to change into--I usually just go to school in my PE strip, in fact, when I have it first block (which I did this block rotation). 3rd block is really bad for changing out, because we only have 5 minutes, and I think changing out takes longer than changing in. :(

I'm really looking forward to Monday. I find that if I'm not sick, I like keeping busy. It keeps me... I don't know, energized, I guess, because going keeps me going. (does that even make sense?)

I'm so glad to be back in the routine! :D
