Exam Prep

I may not be a great studier, but I do know that the best way to prep for an exam is with a filling, balanced meal. No one wants to be the one with a rumbling stomach in a deathly quiet room!

Today's lunch was almost an exact replica of yesterday's packed one. I combined a can of chunk light tuna with a few big spoonfuls of hummus, then plopped it into a whole-wheat wrap with some fresh baby spinach.


On the side, I had some carrot sticks for an extra serving of veggies.


Maybe seeing the questions better will help me answer them more accurately? Wishful thinking.

I also had a sliced apple with a huge glob of almond butter. Brain food!


In addition to a full stomach, the other thing that helps me concentrate is comfy clothes. Hence, I'm wearing my favorite stretchy sundress:


   -  Black ruffled sundress: J.Crew
   -  Black cardigan: Merona from Target
   -   Flip-flops: Havianas
   -   Necklace and bracelet: gifts from Mike
   -   Headband: Goody, from the drugstore

Ready to do this thing. See you all tonight!

Because I'm in test-thinking mode, how many times did you take the SATs/ACTs? I took them four times, and I also took four SAT II subject tests- so that meant eight Saturday mornings, including my 17th birthday. Can you say perfectionist? The funny thing is that I kept taking them to improve my math score, but every time I took them the math score stayed the same and the verbal score went up. I was a pro by the time I was done!
