A post in which I ramble

As the hours tick by and my TEAS test grows more imminent, I frantically grow more jittery. Taking the practice exams makes me think this test will be a breeze, that I really shouldn't have worried so much about it because it's so basic that it's juvenile. Then, I take some portions of the practice test and am flabbergasted by how I get such "simple" questions wrong.

Then I question if my test booklet is correct. I mean, one of my questions was quizzing me on the correct spelling of salary, but two of the answers were correct. I obviously can't trust this book very much.

And please tell me how a coat that's worth $120 magically becomes only worth $18 when you have a 15% off discount. PLEASE tell me where stores that practice math this way are, because I could have a whole closet full of coats in which people could shit in it. Not like that excites me, but I'm pretty sure a closet just for coats symbolizes some sort of upper class life-style.

Clearly my "study guide" book is hindering me, because let's face it, that math problem is nowhere near being correct and unless my text book put in an invisible "l" on one of the salary's, then I don't know how I'm ever going to get anywhere in life. I may not be an all-star at math, but that's ridiculous. I'm actually good at basic English, and the question is basically a "which letter do you prefer because both are correct?"

If the TEAS test tomorrow asks me a question about the main topic of an essay or if this sentence has correct subject-verb agreement, I think I'll just bury my head in my jacket. I can't for the life of me grasp what the question wants. Main topic seems easy, but the essays they make me read don't have a clear topic, because it talks about 2347234 different things at once. All of the sentences, except for maybe one, always sound legitimate to me, so it once again goes back to the whole "preference" aspect for me, which is always wrong =(

Top off the fact my study guide is out to make me fail and question my basic math skills, I find a spider battalion in my bathroom area. I discovered this by summoning the courage to kill the spider that was perched overlooking me with disdain. He sat in the far corner, overlooking the toilet, which joy upon joys if I had discovered him whilst using the toilet. I had the Raid at the ready and fired. At this instant, the spider took the opportunity to fall down from the ceiling with a frantic chaotic dance, which caused me to scream helplessly and spray the Raid at him until he was drowning in it, rather than whatever means Raid normally disposes of icky creatures.

I breathed a sigh of relief when he stopped moving, but then on the floor I saw a distinct shadow chaotically moving around. (Has anyone noticed that spiders move like a scary abnormal creature? I've never seen one walk around peacefully. If they did, maybe I wouldn't be so scared, but no, they run around like they are trying to elude a crocodile while looking like a creep.) More screams later, the fiend was deceased along with his brother, who I hope are both incredibly dead and not camping out to attack.

I am so glad my roommates are all gone and no one had to listen to me scream.

I'm so glad BILL jinxed me and now I have to deal with demon spiders when I'm away from home. When I go back, I'm sure I'll be barraged by demon squirrels.

In other news, The Tourist was pretty good, although I squirmed when Angelina Jolie talked/walked/glanced/breathed. I really dislike her as an actress and person, but if I ignored that then I'd say it was a good movie. JDepp clearly held the film together =]
