• You can't see the carpet through all the tissues by the side of your bed.
  • You carry a roll of toilet paper around in your purse because a box of kleenex won't fit.
  • You look like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
  • You only leave your bed to eat and pee.
  • You don't remember what solid food tastes like.
  • Your outfit every day is your pj's.
In other words, these past couple days have been crap. I hate being sick. :/ -throws pity party-

But I'll stop my complaining. Today I took the ACT. For those of you who don't know what the ACT is, it's basically a really big deal if you want to go to college. Colleges look at the score you received on the test so you want to score well.

It sucked having to pull out a tissue every five seconds to blow my nose. But anyways...

I'm really nervous about how I did. I think I did decent, but I'm afraid that I'm going to get a horrible score and all my friends will have done fantastic and I'll look like an incompetent loser. I guess it doesn't help that my boyfriend's mom got a 31 the first time she took it, without studying, (The test is graded out of 36. A 19-21 is about average. Anything above a 30 and you get really good scholarships.) and told him she expected him to at least get a 28 the first time. So if I do bad, it'll just make me feel stupid compared to them.

I guess I should just stop worrying (ha, right!) until I get my scores. I'm going to be taking it again in either the spring or beginning of summer in hopes to do better, but I'm hoping I did alright.

Aww, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. :( Get better soon!

Ah, yes, the ACT. Three of my four siblings have taken it, and only one of them stressed about getting a good enough score, and all of them did fine. I'm sure you'll do great, too! Good luck! c:

I'm sure you'll do well! Though that cold really got you down. I don't know why they don't have some kind of exemption for you because you're sick. In Australia we have something similar to the ACT which is the HSC - and that's a big deal to go to university. :P If you have a medical condition or are sick on the day you just get a note from a doctor and you can sit the test another time or something like that.

I really hope you do well, though, I know this is pretty important for you!

My outfit every day is my PJs because I can't be bothered changing, though... :P

That's true! Only...when I am sick, I hardly eat at all if I even eat anything. :P

I hope you did well on the ACT. :)

ACT's ... Chances are you did better then you thought. Good luck though, you don't need your bf's mother's opinions on top of this.

Oh, next time I am taking toilet paper with me when I have a cold. I never thought of that :) I hope you feel better really soon. Sucky this time of year to fall ill xx
