That’s right. Yesterday was the 21st and many things happened. The first was that I went back to school after a two-week long hiatus because of exams. Yeah so nothing cool, learned my exam grades, and my GPA (only 3.2 but whatever).
It got a lot more interesting after school though. I had my dentist appointment but had no idea that my dentist would take off my braces. He asked me when I was leaving Hong Kong, I told him the morning of the 30th, and he said, “OK, I’m taking your braces off today.” Yeah so, after a few minutes of bearable pain, my braces were off and I’ll be getting my retainers next week just before I leave. The teeth don’t hurt but it feels better without them (no, really?) because my tongue no longer feels the braces but instead slippery teeth, a feeling I haven’t experienced in over a year.
Then I came back home and realized that the June 2nd SAT Reasoning Test scores were in. Not that great but pretty good for my first try, I guess. Here’s the breakdown: Critical Reading: 600 (I thought it was damn hard, especially because there was an extra experimental section); Math: 630 (pretty much what I expected); Writing: 710 (woot! 9 on essay, not that high but still pretty good). So in total that’s a 1940. My target for October when I take it for the second time is at least 2000, hopefully all the studying over the summer will guarantee this. 4 hours sitting at a desk again…
Oh yeah, by the way, I’m leaving for Ukraine on the morning of the 30th and may have very little access to the internet so don’t expect this site to be updated for a month or so after that date.
