Pepto Bismol : The Miracle Drug

Long story short, I had a stomach ache.

But this is what I would like to address today : fellow juniors and sophmores who have taken the PSAT/NMSQT recently . . . do not fret. I've seen many a classmate um. . . well, for lack of a better word, "freak out" over the test. My deary dears, the PSAT is meant to get you ready for the SAT. Yes, if you're a junior, it counts. The PSAT counts to getting a few of the gaggles of scholarships. Read my lips: schol-ar-ships. There are many ways to obtain one. Simply go online and research about it.

The PSAT is not the end of your life if you did poorly. Think of it as learning from your mistakes. Or for those who are video game-savy, think of it along these lines:

"Dude, that bleepin' fudgenuggits pwned my buttocks! Alas! I got to that checkpoint before I made that total wipe-out. Praise the video game gods for this miraculous luck!" and then you totally turn off your computer / TV / Nintendo DS / Gameboy and it's like it NEVER happened. It's really because you're so hardcore.

Now, the direct meaning of this foreign tongue may have been lost in several translations, but it shall have to suffice.
