Nice job Kynndra!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Kynndra, great job on your grades! Don't worry so much on the ACT...those tests are so...not a very good measure I'm afraid of a good student.

I took mine without studying and got a pretty decent score, so when Alison went to take hers I advised she try it first without studying...she didn't do very well, and she has good grades. What was hilarious was that she scored highest on English (her worst subject) and VERY low on math (which she's a genius in!) It can depend on so many things, too, if you have trouble concentrating that day, etc. Also some people just don't do well on those tests.

So don't get too discouraged! Those tests are only one measure to get into college, colleges look at way more than just that! But if you're unhappy with your score, study, wait a few months and try again :) That's what Alison is doing.

[Sherrie]

Nice work Kynndra! Your grades are AMAZIING! You should be proud of how well you did. Don't worry about the ACTs I'm sure you will improve your score next time if you choose to retake the test.

[kynndra-jo]

Aww thanks you guys. I really appreciate all the support and encouragement. I definitely hope I'll do better on the ACT considering these tests cost 33 dollars each time (yikes!) Blah. I just want to do better than my current score. I'm sure I will, hopefully. Such silly tests .~.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Okay my woot woots for today:

1. Received a piece of mail art from an artist in Torino, Italy today!! Its not every day I get mail from Italy :)

2. Spent almost the whole day in my art studio. Heaven!

3. Darryl surprised me with a new set of headphones when he came home today. And they are RED!!!!

I love life :)

[Victoria]

Cassie: That's great!

Alicia: Happy birthday; have fun!

Kynndra: Well done!

[Victoria]

Jenny: That's great! YAY for red headphones!

Alicia: That's great. Well, not the sunburned bit, but the fact you had fun besides that.

How is a 91% a B?
In our school, 79% is a B. lol

This made me feel a lot better. Thank you so much, Jenny. See I did terrible in Math but I'm not great at math either so that wasn't a surprise. However.. I didn't do the best in English either, but it's my best subject? I do well in class and such but this test apparently wasn't my cup of tea.

I'll follow suite with Allison, study and retake it. Thanks again, Jenny c: and all of you! I needed the encouragement.

92-100% is an A
91-82% is a B
81-72% is a C
71-62% is a D
61-0% is an F

It can be rough sometimes, but most of the time I can manage (except for math..) I wish I had your grading system, Dan!

[Amanda]

I got an ARC of which is the sequel to . It doesn't come out for a month! I was so thrilled to get it!

I got denied by Netgalley, which of course was heartbreaking, and then a group (New Adult Book Club) was offering copies for a r4r program and they invited you to read it through Netgalley. (TAKE THAT FOR DENYING ME I'LL GET MYSELF AN INVITATION) *some karate chopping directed at Netgalley.

is currently my favorite NA book! It was a total 5 star read for me! (You can check out my review for Deeper here if you want.) I'm so thrilled right now.

Even with our grading system our school is really competitive. I have a 93.5 average but it's nowhere near some of my friends...

[kynndra-jo]

Wow, that's impressive Daniel - good job! Ah, yes I feel quite doltish compared to some other people's grades. However, I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far. I think I'm doing substantially well.

Yeah, no reason to fret that other people's grades are better. Just be proud of your own.
That's what I tell myself, anyway. lol

LOL I was thinking that too. That's insane!

[Kritika]

I'm doing engineering at UCLA and all our classes are curved so the letter grades don't really go with fixed percentages. Last quarter the average on our thermodynamics final was a 47% so I got an A with a 60-something on the final!

I think my high school self would have fainted to see that I was proud of a 60-something hahaha

[Karen’s Library]

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about grades anymore!!

Lmao! Nope. No I would cry if that was my school. Mines bad enough, yours is worse!

Karen wrote: "I'm so glad I don't have to worry about grades anymore!!"

Me too!

[Kaylani]

My school didn't have a straight across grading policy. The teachers decided (in high school and college/uni) so one class an A would be a 95 and another an A could be an 80% ... same school same semester.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Victoria wrote: "Karen wrote: "I'm so glad I don't have to worry about grades anymore!!"

Me too!"

In the "real world" its so much more cut and dry. What you do is either a pass or fail. For instance, when I cook for the residents, they don't grade me--they either like or they don't. :) When we get inspected, we either pass or fail. I like it much better than grading systems!

[kynndra-jo]

It's official. I am done my junior year of high school. 6 A's and 1 B. Really pleased with my grades and am relieved to be out for summer break (even though I'll probably get bored really easily).

[Daniel]

Good job Kynndra!
I've got a solution to your boredom.
READ!
I get out of school on June 20th, but until then, it's chaos.
The Lost Hero awaits me upon the beginning of summer, though. Can't wait.

Well done on your grades!

Like Daniel said, there's a simple solution to your boredom problem... Read!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

WOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOT!!!!!

BOOYAH!

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

Cannot believe my luck! I went to the library today in Boone & they had a table full of ARC's that said take for free in exchange for a review & if you like it we will purchase a copy! Sitting on the table was a brand new softcover copy of These Broken Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woot! Woot! So I now own the ARC of These Broken Stars!!!! I have been wanting to read this for a while :)

[Harlee]

Congrats Rose! I've been wanting to read that one too! Tell us how it is when you're done :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Oh, These Broken Stars is fantastic, I'll send them my review, too, Rose, just so they'll buy a copy for the library!

Did they have any more?

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

@Harlee will do :) @Jenny they didn't have any more of These Broken Stars but they had about 5 more copies of other ARC's that I can't remember the names of! They are on the third floor of the library on a table behind that shelf to your left when you walk in :) You should check it out!! Free ARC's in what look like brand new condition!

[kynndra-jo]

Oh yes. I'll most certainly be reading c:

Jenny & Rfu congrats on receiving some splendid ARC's!

AACCKKK... I just checked my email and see that I got approved for too!!!!

I didn't request Heir of Fire because I haven't read the first 2 yet.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, Karen!!!!! We can buddy read it then :) You seriously have not read Throne of Glass or Crown of Midnight yet?? WOW...they are amazing reads, you'd better get on that! Although, now that I think about it, maybe not, since there are supposed to be 6 books in the series?

I started Throne of Glass and just couldn't get into it. It's another of those that I don't think I was in the right mood. I may try it again later at some point. :) What is it Jen says...? I wanna read all the books, allthebooksrightnow. NOW! Or something like that. Hahahah...

So very awesome, Rose! Today was a good book day for you!! :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I was just thinking of when Jen said that when I was taking pics of all my bookshelves, and realize how many I own that I haven't read yet!!

[Sherrie]

Rose that is fabulous! You picked a great day to go to the library!

[Alison]

rose that is awesome! wish my library was like that!

That's great, Rose!

I loved that book. It just goes to show you how different everybody's tastes are. Sometimes I read books that have rave reviews but that I didn't really like and I think "What's wrong with me?"

You'll love it. It's so different, very creative and dramatic.

My woot woot today is that I have a very nice co-worker who offered to work my 10 hour shift for me on Saturday! Is she sweet or what?? She knows I don't have any days off for the next week, and she wanted to give me one :)

Sooo now I can Tessa to our local town celebration parade on Saturday! Will be fun! We'll also get to ride the carousel, first ride of the season!

Jenny that is so awesome of your coworker, very nice. Aw that'll be a fun mommy and daughter date - I'm sure you both will have a delightful time! c: /whispers it makes me wanna ride a carousel!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Thanks, Kynndra! Its sooo fun! My dad rode this carousel when he was little, and then my sister and I did when we were little, and all my kids rode it when they were little. And we all still ride it! Its only $1 a ride! And it was my very first job :) Running the carousel, and selling tickets and popcorn.
