The Payoff

So yesterday I took my first CAT exam since my diagnostic test on Kaplan. I was incredibly nervous about it since my dad is a bit reluctant to book my flight and stuff for Canada until I get scores close to what I want consistently. So of course there's that added pressure to do well. There was already the pressure to do well so that I can get into Pace for the Spring. I already missed the early deadline date for international students so I really need to make it all worth it. During the test everything was fine until the verbal section since all I've been doing for the past month was math so I wasn't too optimistic about what my score was going to be. My worst fear was that it was going to be lower than the diagnostic 480. I got a 560!! :D. I was (am) sooooo happy and encouraged to keep working hard. This was exactly what i needed! It's not the score I want yet but in a couple weeks it could be. This improvement is solely based on just working on my math. 

In other news...... I picked up my graduation gown this week and finally got to catch up with some people at UWI. 

It's kind of ironic now that I have my gown and my dress is at the dry cleaners so I can't even try them on together. It's now a week until Nick comes home and I am completely excited. Trying to calm myself down with studying doesn't really help and neither does reading, so I've been watching tv shows. 

Season 2 of Arrow looks really promising. 

I think my new favourite character after Diggle is Felicity :). She's sort of awkward but funny and I love her outfits. If I could dress like her for like a week that would be awesome. I'm really interested in who this new vigilante is so that should be exciting. I'm in the middle of watching The Tomorrow People which looked so good in the previews. Coincidentally it stars Stephen Amell's cousin Robbie Amell. 

Right now all that has my attention is Robbie's mole under his lip. Every time he talks I think he's going to hit it off or bite it so it's a bit distracting. The acting isn't its best but it's only the pilot. I always find that the acting between the pilot and the second episode is extremely different so I'm hoping for an improvement next week. 

I also started to watch the spinoff to The Vampire Diaries (TVD), The Originals. 

I think this is a lot more interesting and mature than TVD so I'm a little more inclined to watch it than TVD. I actually didn't miss watching it last night when I was watching the X Factor. I still don't like the format of the X Factor but it seemed to have turned out great for Simon and the groups. I am in LOVE with Restless Road. Their voices just make me melt and I am sooo excited to hear what else they do.

It's been a full week and everything is starting to pay off and fall into place :). Time to go put in some work for some more payoff next week :)
