Not A Very Spooktacular Monday

I always feel like I should start my post off with an excuse every time I miss a week,, but I know that is not what you guys necessarily want to read, so I won't.  But I will tell you about last Monday.

Last Monday was my last volleyball game Ever.  I am not doing it next year, and intramurals aren't really my thing, so I won't be doing any in college.  The only time I can really see myself doing anything volleyball like is just passing the ball and messing around with friends.

The PSAT is the Preliminary SAT, and the SAT is the Scholastic Assessment Test.  The SAT is a required test for most universities and colleges on the coast, but most midwestern colleges prefer the ACT (American College Test).  There's also the PLAN test, which all the sophomores had to take last year, which is like a practice ACT. I scored high on that last year, and it predicts my ACT score to be 32-34, which is really high (and I doubt I'll get that high of a score the first time I take it). The ACT and SAT are graded differently, too.

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a long time.  My shyness held me back as a kid. If I wasn't to old and if I had the money to make/buy the costume, I would love to dress up as Link from the Legend of Zelda. The way my bangs/fringe fall when they aren't tucked behind me ears look a lot alike Link's hair, so all I would have to do is dye my hair blonde and get the green cap to hide the rest of my hair.

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing NaNo this year.  Hopefully the story line I have written will last the 50,000 words. I think one of the reasons why I managed to be successful last year was my competitiveness.  I'm not necessarily competitive in sports, but I am definitely competitive when it comes to academics and challenges (like NaNo) that I set for myself.  For me it is almost like trying to do well on a test like the PSAT.  I know if I don't finish or I score lower

On one hand Katie, your lucky for getting out of school, but then on the other hand, you aren't very lucky.  It seems as if everyone on the coast is talking about Hurricane Sandy, and everyone here in the Midwest is just going around business as usual.  That's one reason living here is good.  We don't have to worry about hurricanes, though I do live in Tornado valley.

My cats just pulled out one of my favorite toys from my childhood, my woody doll. I think it was actually my brother's and I stole it from him at a young enough age that it just stayed mine (that also happened with my favorite blanket). Woody had always been my favorite toy, I think I would still consider him to be my favorite. He means a lot to me and acted as a security doll to me when I was a kid.  What are all of your favorite toys?

Happy Halloween and I hope school work isn't bogging you down too much.
