Greetings from a bus somewhere in Kentucky! Bus WiFi is a thing. Travel is fun.
They actually have that back in Wisconsin for Megabus. Though I don't really know if it's just an interstate thing or if they actually serve Madison properly (I know they have a stop at Dutch Mill Road and one at the UW Student Union; it's quite possible they do have more or maybe another company handles most of the city's bus transportation).

The thing I found with Megabus's WiFi is it was okay in the cities but barely even worth dealing with during interstate travel (or just once you left one of the depot cities).

Maybe it's the whole 'Little things' thing, but for some reason, after having a pleasant conversation with someone in the FiMFiction comments about where to get DF, I feel that fuzzy feeling inside of me.

It's one of those things that has made me happy today, despite the rage :P

Also, today I got my leather bound edition of HP Lovecraft - The Complete Fiction. And I got it for just over 30 bucks.

What did I do today?
Just played some Caravan with a friend before gallivanting home from school to be on vacation for a week and a half.

whoa

I am not sure what to make of this "essay." It's very anti-postmodernist. The title sounds more profound than it actually is. Good stuff.

Got my Pre-SAT test scores back. As it turns out, I critically read better than 97% of juniors (That take the test anyways), I am more mathematically inclined than 78% of my peers, and I write better than 74%. This strikes me as odd, possibly because I am failing both math and english.

EDIT: And this gets me thinking that if I pull my head out of my ass I might be able to get some kind of scholarship, somewhere maybe. Which is gonna end up being the only way I will be able to get into college.

Haha, your scores are almost identical to what mine were.

I finished the Google doodle crossword. It took half an hour, but I did it.

Also, thanks, Google, for wasting a half hour of my life >_>

Percentiles are a wonderful thing! Most of us only get to know it when major exams come up, I remember when I first had the concept explained to me in middle school, when writing our... alternative for the SATs, actually!
Wasn't in a class, even! A person from the exam committee, I believe an English teacher as it is customary to write maths first, had to go ahead and tell us "You'll be graded via points and percentile!" and then explained what a percentile was to a hall of over a hundred confused students, haha~
I landed outrageously high, and could tell you the exacts had you wished for me to do so as I'm fairly sure I might have the results tucked away in a box somewhere. It wasn't an issue of me doing well, no - until maybe the second year of high school I had been coasting on talent alone, it's just that people managed to do even worse than I have and gave me quite the boost~
Please don't get overconfident, though~ Speaking from where I am now, spending at least half an hour to brush up on the basics of the subjects included within the exam is necessary if you want to not be terribly confused by what you are expected to do. It's only going to take longer from here, haha~

I landed in the 99th percentile (really) on the ACT, something like the 97th on the PSAT, and the SAT report is due any day now.

People always ask out of innocent curiosity, and I feel bad telling them because at that level of scores its comes across as bragging even if they start the exchange.

Granted, it's always less impressive if you just say the raw scores, because most people don't get that standardized test scores are (approximately) normally distributed, so a 35 on the ACT only sounds "pretty good" to someone who thinks it's a flat distribution when, of course, less than 1% of students taking the test actually get that high.

I don't get mine back till January. However, my scores on the practice test my school gave sophomores last year were, positive. I did better on reading then 99%, did better on writing then 97%, and math score was something like 91% (and I've failed English entirely before, had to go to summer school; math would be worse then even that if not for my natural test-taking skills). Given I did better on the PSAT this year, I darest hope to get a letter of commendation.

I am just really good at tests though. They are the reason my average will be low-mid 80s rather then low 70s or worse. I am just so incredibly test oriented it's almost funny, and most good academic things that have happened to me are because of them.

I was 99.3rd percentile on the SAT.

Everyone at school knew because my math teacher asked me how well I did and he started doing things like calling my brother "2120's brother" when I told him :P

But yeah, it does make you feel bad. A lot of my friends worked really hard in school while I just kinda didn't. One such friend asked me how I did and she sounded... downtrodden at my results.

Walking Dead Season Two
100 minutes on only what has been released so far. This is pretty good, if not lacking in adventure elements during the introduction.
