So, I went and took the ACT for the first time today at Hunter's Lane High School. I was well rested, well prepared, and ready to tear it up!

The first two sections were easy enough...math gave me some trouble...but nontheless I made it through.

Then I started on the Reading section, easily the subject I am the best at. As read the first few paragraphs, I feel a sneeze coming on. I stifle it...and a few drops of blood hit my page.

And, because my life must in all ways mimic a sitcom, I begin to have a nosebleed. We aren't allowed to talk, so I can't ask for tissue. So I am holding my nose, and my eyes are watering...but we are times. So I try and keep reading the essay....but then it stops. I feel the blood go out my nose, and down my throat. Whoo, problem avoided. Right?

No. Not in the least. Mere moments later, the blood rushes up my throat...and I start to grunt in pain, luckily this girl has tissue, and I basically throw up blood.

Yaaaay.

I still got the freaking test done, and feel I did well on it. Just...my ACT has blood on it. Yikes.
