TODAY WAS THE PSAT!

This morning, I woke up at 6:20am to get ready to go to South Walton High School for the PSAT. I was not excited, ha ha. McKenzie spent the night at my house so we could go together. Mrs. Paige, Connor, Mitchell, and Davis rode with my mom, me and McKenzie over to the school.

Mrs. Paige and my mom were definitely prepared. They gave us extra pencils and put our calculators in zip lock bags, and Mrs. Paige wrote down our social security numbers on pieces of papers so we wouldn't lose them. It was pretty funny actually. We got to the school right on time. When we all walked into the main office, Kylie and Shanna were already there and ready. Fortunately, we were all going to be in the same room.

Once Alex and Mira arrived, we heard the announcements over the speakers and then a lady took us to the classroom. We actually got to sit in desks! HA HA! I sat next to Connor and Davis and Kylie was right behind me. The lady that administered the test was the guidance counselor, and she was super nice.

The test itself was pretty easy, I think I did really well on the reading and writing part but not so well on the math components. There was this weird grid in part that I probably failed!

Once the test was over, we had to fill out our homeschool part of it and then we left. Overall, it was pretty uneventful. The scariest part of the whole thing was the school bell, I had the urge to run out of the building every time it went off! haha.

When we got back to Rosemary we went straight to summer kitchen to have some lunch. Then, it was time for kickball. My team was losing pretty bad at first, then we made a sort of comeback. But the other team still won. So for the rest of the day through music, we made new teams. Our new teams are:

Team 1:
Jordin
Connor
Mira
Davis
Hannah B.
Alex
Alyssa

Team 2:
Nathan
Mason
Hunter
McKenzie
Mitchell
Kylie
Olivia
Ellee

Hopefully, they will be fun and even. (But I am definitely on the louder team.)

So now we are all writing our reflections and then it will be time for cleaning! yay!
