Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes. I did indeed surpass the score needed on the MAT yesterday.
The test was online, so we got our scores immediately. I wish the ACT was always that way, then my students wouldn’t have to face the agony of waiting 4-6 weeks for their scores. Anyway, I made it with no problem, but my brother had no idea what he was doing. He had stayed out until 2:30 am the night before and found out about the test mere hours before we left. His program requires a lower score than mine, however, and he far exceeded the requirement. We had a blast comparing test items on the way home (as for some inexplicable reason, they put the two of us in a lab alone and taking the same test). He kept using the defense of “I didn’t know you could cross-reference!!!” He seriously had no idea how to work the analogies. We had so much fun talking about it, we missed our exit off the interstate and ended up faaaaaaar away from home. Heh. It was really a great day for the Miller kids.
I’m off to monitor Hobbit, who seems to be a bit under the weather today. I’m sure she’ll be fine, but she needs a little TLC right not. I’m also going to finish Doctor Who 2005 and convince myself the forge ahead and accept Doctor Ten. Oh, and after hearing rumors of changes to The Amazing Race, I have to say that the last 5 minutes had me standing and cheering. Out of all the teams, I don’t hate any of them, but losing Ray and Yolanda wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all.
The picture of Hobbit, just another “awww” moment. It’s Memorial Day weekend, and it’s only now that I realize I have less than 3 weeks of work left. We (the counselors) will probably be called in to work an extra week or two, though. Why? To finish scheduling and final transcripts. Now I’ve already finished my part of scheduling, but my cohort, who has a life, hasn’t. I can’t complain too much, though; it is an extra thousand dollars or so.
