My score would be higher (maybe only a point or two, but that's huge above 30). I took the 2004 ACT at Huntington Learning Center as part of a tutoring interview. I got a 32 on the Reading (missed 4/40), and a 28 on the English (missed 10/75). I didn't have to take the math or science, since I got a 32 on the Science in high school, along with a 34 on the Math. I got a 31 overall in high school, and that was with english/reading in the mid 20's. I'm not sure how ACT calculates the composite score, but I'm guessing I'd do pretty well now.
They called to tell me that, and offer me a tutoring position. I turned them down because I didn't want to work all my weekends through June. They asked if they could work around me leaving every other weekend, if I would consider. They apparently really liked my enthusiasm, personality, and background. I told them I'd consider it, and I'm supposed to call them after my PowerWorks interview tomorrow.

Depositing $1 & ACT round 2
Annie transferred N dollars to my bank account today, to pay one of my credit card bills. That's the number that I told her, even though it was actually N dollars and 60 cents. Since I'm too pathetic to have enough money in my account to cover that 60 cents, I had to deposit $1 into an ATM today. "Is your broke ass seriously depositing $1 in me right now?" says the ATM. Fuck you, ATM.
Ever wonder how well you'd do if you got to take those standardized, high school tests again? It just so happens that I got to retake the English/Reading section of the ACT today. I went to an interview at a tutoring place. They specialize in ACT/SAT tutoring, but also teach classes in the subjects. I went there to be a math tutor, but they asked if I was comfortable teaching the english/verbal skills, also, since it would get me more hours. They offered to give me an old test, to see how I would do now. I agreed, and took it on the spot. I'll get the score on Monday. Let's hope I at least score better than 17-yr-old RoB. I highly doubt that I'll take the tutoring position, since they want me to give up the rest of my weekends through June. No thanks.
While walking to pick up Annie, I saw a homeless lady in a fur coat wrestle away a cane from a fellow homeless man. He looked like he could really use the cane afterward. I thought I was done with funny homeless incidents after moving out of homeless alley in L.A. Apparently not.
Awesome,
