Pass the GED

I cried tears of sadness with my last results and now I cried tears of joy. In september I can go back to my old hs and thank everyone. Very important goal accomplished.

I just got the most depressing news. I failed it(please let my counselor be playing some kinda unfunny joke). I’m really really upset right now. I just dont understand how I could have possibly failed it. I felt like it was pretty easy. I got through it I felt confident. So now I have to retake it in july. They wont even let you know what you got or what parts you got wrong. Its just pass or fail. I would like to say that I wont let this ruin my day. But it pretty much has.

Well thats the big first step to actually well getting a final score. I took part one on monday and part two today. The second part was a blast, totally the easiest thing EVER!. First part was math and writing. While I did good on the essay. I think I might have done worse on the writing than math. Which is strange because my math skills are horrible. Its the hardest subject ever. And will never understand or even care to. Now its gonna be a few weeks until I get my score. I don’t have to have the highest score ever all I wanna do is pass. Surprisingly there were quite a few actual “adults” taking the test some of which looked to be in there 30’s. While there I met a girl. She was cool we talked. So told me about her experience the first time she took it. All in all I feel pretty good about taking it.

My weak area, I discovered, was primarily MATH! Mainly because I make the simplest errors (forget to reduce, subtract/added wrong, etc) which earned me a low score (about 50% x_X) I forgot how much I’m allowed to miss before failing, and I consider a 50% pretty much a fail. lol So time to kick it into gear, I suppose :P (this is the month I take the GED after all… eek!)

I feel good about it, I know i already passed the reading, social studies, and science in december. I took the rest of it today, I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo worried about the math that i completly neglected to study anything else. I’m a little worried about the essay part, because i had a HUGE case of writers block…man that sucked. But we’ll see. I actually felt good about the math… I just hope my gut feelings are telling me the truth.

but I have to pass this stupid test before I can get into college.. So.. I’ll study. I will force myself, and when I am done, I will feel so much better about where my life is going. At last, my dad wont want to call me worthless.
