<p>@joanybologna: honors Orchestra? I’m jealous.</p>

<p>ACT tomorrow and I REALLY don’t feel like studying for it.
I might not even go lol. I got the stomach flu and the last thing I want is to be throwing up on a bunch of unfamiliar black kids. Besides next month, I -really- want this to be my last time taking it…</p>

<p>I’m part black, btw.</p>

<p>joany- i’m jealous of your scores, but yay another new englander (:</p>

<p>marine- i have some friends taking them - good luck!!
tell us how they are (: i’m a little afraid, but idk why.
hoorah for urm status lol</p>

<p>^ Good luck on your ACT. And I used to have orchestra as a class as well, I thought it was a normal class to have in highschool.</p>

<p>^^ You are a shoe in (is that the term? lolz) for Brown. You might want to work a bit more on your SAT for Yale though (but thye take all the scores anyways i’ve heard, but still work on that)</p>

<p>Your stats look good. I wish mine could look like that. lolz
How did you get a SAT score like that?</p>

<p>Thanks y’all! First time taking it… I’m nervous but kind of mad I have to wake up so early, while being sick lol.</p>
