PSAT's & Weekend

Everyone at UC is excited for the year that is coming up. Recently the sophomores and juniors took the PSAT’s in school. Sophomores took the test in a classroom with their respective English classes. The juniors sat in the cafeteria arranged by English class as well. The test took about 3 hours and consisted of 5 parts. There were 2 math sections each averaging about 30 questions and 2 critical reading sections averaging about 25 questions each. There was also a writing section but luckily we did not have to write an essay. Although the PSAT’s don’t count sophomore year, UC gives it to us to help us prepare for our college future. I didn’t think that the test was that difficult as some of my other classmates thought. The hardest part for me was the vocabulary because it is hard to remember all of the words and what each one means. It is nearing the end of the marking period and that means its stressful for everyone, hopefully my grades will be good and I won’t have to stress out over if my grades were good or not. We also had a pep rally in which all the sport teams walked out with the cheerleaders and pumped up the crowd for the remainder of their seasons. The crowd was pumping and the gym felt like it was rocking the whole time. Soon the winter season sports will start and I will be able to try out for basketball. Last year I started on the freshman team and even though we didn’t do so good I had a fun time and hopefully this year will be better.

This past weekend was kind of a drag because it rained almost the whole weekend. Most of the sports events were cancelled and everyone was forced to stay inside most of the weekend. I went to a sweet 16 Saturday night with a bunch of juniors and sophomores. My good friend DJ was there and we had a lot of fun dancing all night to the music that was played. Sunday I was lucky enough to go to the Jets game at the Meadowlands but they lost. They didn’t play well at all and it was a very cold day, so that didn’t make it any better. UC is definitely back in the swing of things and everyone including the freshman are getting used to what life is like here at one of the best schools ever UC.
