@PrimeMeridian I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to reply to my post. I understand my post sounded silly. Based on your comment and the comment of others, I spoke to my mother & really insisted that I take it Sep. 10. She then told me that my sister was planning on coming in the 9th to surprise me. She lives in Arizona. She bought the tickets already and is coming in Friday & leaving Sunday morning. Ever since she moved out I rarely get to see her. So yes, to answer your question, apparently I do have relatives flying in from cross country. No need to bash on me again, though, I insisted that I take it the 10th anyway. I have priorities and I know this test is really important and it’s better to take it sooner rather than later. I am not an impatient 6 year old.
@Mamelot @mmk2015 I am actually capable of thinking like an adult. Since the beginning I really wanted to take it on the 10th, because I know that my birthday doesn’t matter, and that getting my scores in on time just in case is so much more important. The reason why I didn’t was because my mom was really insistent that October would be fine, and that I’d be busy that September weekend. Now I know exactly why she was insisting. Either way, now that I know, I still am taking the test the 10th, because in fact I am capable of figuring out my priorities.
None of you know me personally. You don’t know who I am or all of the things I need to consider while making my decisions. I came to CC because I knew I should take it the 10th, but with my mom telling me the opposite I was confused. I am a logical person and capable of making adult decisions & that’s why I began to question her reasoning (instead of just blindly following her advice) & came to college confidential to see if others thought taking it in October would be okay. I needed another perspective. Reading your comments confirmed what I had thought from the beginning & thanks to that my mom saw reason & I made the registration for the 10th.
All of you helped a lot and I honestly thank you. But to the few of you that treated me as though I was a child, you have no right to pass judgement on me, my priorities, and my college choices.
