Journal 1

I took SAT test last Saturday. Although it was my second time to take it, I still felt nervous because that would influence If I could go to good university or not. “Ling”, ”ling”, my alarm rang, it was time to get up. That was one of the worst time I have ever had. I was reluctant to take a shower and ready to take the test. Everyone had a bad face and no one spoke anything. I could feel that there was a murderous look in the air. They were nervous too and didn’t want to take the test either. I got my passport and ready to die.

It was a cloudy day that seemed like the sky was crying for me.

“Hey, it’s you!” I saw some other students in my school when I got the test center.

“Yes! Good to see you!” one of them answered.

“Me too. Did you study for the test?” I asked.

“Yes. I did last night and it was not bad actually.”

It took a long time to get into the room and was nearly 9am when the test began. The writing question was not bad; however, when I watched the clock, 20 minutes had past but I still had a lot to write. “Crab!” I thought. I could only write a conclusion immediately. Luckily, my extra test was math and that made me feel better. However, because I didn’t eat anything for breakfast, I started to feel dizzy before the seventh section began, there were still four sections waiting for me. I could see that four sections were laughing at me and I didn’t even know how I spent that one and a half hour now.

SAT is so hard that American students feel that hard too. However, if I want to attend American universities, I have to experience this. And everyone who wants to attend American universities has to take SAT too. My test condition is better than those Chinese students who have to take plane to Hong Kong, and take the test in the testing rooms that are big enough that we can’t even see the edge. So all I can do is study harder and harder and get into a good university.
