While I agree that standardized testing is lame (It's like an IQ test, neither of which are accurate measures of intelligence) I get anxious about this test and getting into college as a whole because as much as intelligence and experience determines your ability to secure a job, within the technical and programming fields, I can't even get a decent entry level job without some kind of bachelor's degree, even if I know my code well. Therefore I have no "professional" experience for programming, and even less of a portfolio for recommendations to future positions.
I have nobody I can really talk to about helping me with questions and whatnot for what I have to do to get into college cause they've either a) forgotten what they did for college cause it was so long ago, b) just got into college this past year themselves and have no idea what they did or are too lazy to help, or c) have no idea what they're doing as a whole.
I didn't even know what FAFSA was until the very end of my senior year at highschool. I thought it was some military thing. That's about the time I learned what my social security card looked like, too.
Combine all that with my parent's amazing ability to rack up nearly $300k in debt thanks to their house purchase 7 years ago, zero credit experience on my personal behalf, and parents who don't want to cosign any loans because they're paranoid I'm going to drive them bankrupt, and you can see where I get some nervousness and anxiety. It's to be expected. xd

I HATE the cash shop. Why do they have to update it every week? It feels like they're releasing tons of MC's every day and I feel bad about spending money to get them!
Even worse, I just got a brown gift box from an OMG box.
Edit: Caved in again, bought another, got... dragon elven ears.
Edit: Third time: Purple pimp shoes gonk
I wasted real money on stuff I could have bought with gold if I really wanted them...

No matter what way the wind blows,
I got the yellow parrot and a Pantheracorax Agate. The Pantheracorax Agate sadly I had just bought earlier today.
I will always love you.

Miriam The Bat Jenannen Miri, I'll trade you the puppy ears for the dragon elven ears... that's what I got, from the OMG then I decided not to waste any more money on it. I would if I didn't have a set already. Unless you really want it or something.  I'm just more likely to use those than the puppy ears.
Thanks. <3

I'm upset about the evolving items.
You spend all that money and can't even equip the previous stages.
At least I haven't been able to equip anything other than the current evoltion.

Oy! I want art of one of my D&D characters, but the problem is that I'm not sure what she lookes like. gonk Part of that is probably that she's often disguised so she' doesn't really have one look, but... rolleyes I'm so used to seeing my characters rather clearly this is driving me crazy!
...maybe that's part of why I want art of her. *sigh*

Awa~ XD That angelic mood bubble is perfect for Halo questers! It even has little wings on the side of the halo, like my quest thread button and dividers. You'd think I'd made it myself. *laugh*
