One computer company that no one ever talks about is e-Machines. I love their computers. LOVE them. But, next time I get a computer, I am building my own. That Cisco Certification class I took sophomore year helped a lot!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:31 PM) I would try to spell out "BETTER" with the smileys but you cant use that many and it would take a long ass time. EDIT: See, I couldn't even put 1 smiley in!

QUOTE(CanadianSoxFan @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) yea they have great sound quality. More earphones should be like them. I love putting the bass booster on, turning the volume all the way up, and listening to music in the library.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) What? No design with the smileys like you did with the bubbles???

Well, that blew. It was pretty much what I expected but I think I was so wrapped up in how this affects my life that I forgot to figure out if it was easier or harder than I expected. I think I did pretty darn good/well (which was not in the English section). I was able to stay focused but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Contrary to the mock test, I thik I did better on the reading portion this time. 4 weeks sound sooo damn long.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) Just beat their ass and move on I'd prefer not to get physical with my mom and sister. And dog.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Eigher these teams now are alittle weaker this year, or you guys had an off game, cuz Lincoln Park is one of the easiest teams to beat unless they've gotten better from their Soph (now Juniors) making the jump. We definitley had an off-game. Our pitchers gave up 7 in the first 2 innings. Although, coming in to the game, L.P. was 4-1 in conference, now 4-2.

God I love it when people pick fights with me the night before the ACT.

Brooks beats Lincoln Park 11-10 scoring 7 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Helluva game, and I was glad to be a part of it. Thats our 2nd win in the last bat. Our first came against Thornridge the Friday before Spring Break.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I find that our game tonight is helping me get my mind off it. But then again, I may be wrong because I am still posting and reading this thread. My plan is to eat right now, take a shower, and go to bed by 10. Get some good rest, wake up early, have a nice breakfast, read some of the paper, then go to school and take the test. And 3e8 is right, my choices are not top echelon colleges but they arent s***ty colleges either. I plan on attending GVSU and from my knowledge, they want at least a 22. Considering I got a 23 on the mock and that I am confident in myself, I think I can achieve that relatively easily. I'm shooting for at least a 25 because I need some college money!

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) i think i got 24s-26s on the other 3 and got a 35 on the reading. Oh, and Heads, I usually do good on the science part because it's all graphs and tables and s***.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) Actually a pretty good pitch - Betancourt just got the bat out there and flicked it. It happens. Yeah, it was a good pitch, but not on an 0-2 count.

Notice that the Sox can't get any win streaks longer than 8? The highest last season was 8 as well, and we did it a few times. Oh well.

Game.

Phew. 2 dead. Come on and keep em there BMAC!

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:07 AM) as for the actual test, the biggest thing for me was doing incredibly well on the reading section. If you just concentrate there really is no reason you can't score high on it. Yeah, thats exactly what I did wrong on the mock. I rushed the reading exam in the beginning and ended up having that be my lowest score. I got a 20 on that, and 24/25 on all the other portions.

No Alaska? Hawaii?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:56 PM) Relax. Do something to take your mind off it. If you need, do a couple mock exams. Just make sure you have confidence when taking the test - and a calulator, something I forgot at home Holy f***. I am going to need to rent a TI83 from someone!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) Again, breakfast. Maybe a sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a hashbrown and a Coke from McD's. Yum. Sausage McMuffin with 3 hash browns and a Pepsi. Oh yeah.

I think Geoff Blum is going to hit a big solo shot in the 13th...

Anderson....I luuuuv that guy.

QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 11:50 PM) What i would do is buy one of those books that has a bunch of the practice ACT's in them. I think when i was preparing, those were the most helpful. Yeah, our school supplied them for us for free. We did it a lot in class and it helps with time management and what not. But I mean, what should I do this last day and 1/2 to prepare.

There ya go Paulie!
