So my friends told me today that I'm a loud test taker. I was not inclined to believe them, but I let them tell their side of the story. I mean, they are the ones that hear me when I take tests.
They said I fiddle with candy wrappers (several teachers give out chocolate before an exam!), sigh loudly when I get frustrated, and pound the table with my fists.
Oops. I'll try harder not to be annoying next time.
What annoys me during a test is sniffling. Just blow your nose already!
19 days until graduation!!!

Cool Old Lady
I met the coolest old lady at Relay for Life this past weekend.
I was walking back to my car because I forgot my camera, and she was standing on the grass between the parking lot and the track. I smiled and she said hi, so I stopped for a second and pleasantly acknowledged her as a person.
Old lady: Hi. *she said in her British accent*
Me: Hi, how are you?
Old lady: Fine, how are you?
Me: Good. I forgot my camera in the car.
Old lady: *smile*
I walked to the car and had to walk by her again on my way back to our tent site, so I stopped and actually took time to talk to her.
Me: What brings you to Relay?
She went on to tell me about her daughter and how she was in a program at my school. She told me she just got back from New Zealand. She had a lanyard that said Brazil on it, and I asked her if she had been there, and she said yes, that she was there about 4 years ago.
I guess the cool part about it was that she was old, like probably pushing 70 and she was travelling so much.
I want to be a cool old lady like that.
