top 6%

HEYYY it's Monday! One last week before school starts back up again. Canary's school already begun today too. Anyway, the main event today was taking an AMC10 practice exam and then going over some of the problems afterward. 

I did rather well today, beat my previous records, and I would've placed into the top 6 percentile in the US for that practice exam. What I'm aiming for is the top 10% on the actual exam so being able to reach that already, although on a past exam that doesn't count for anything, at least soothes the heart. 

However, I did make one silly mistake on a geometry problem that I otherwise would've gotten correct and that prevented me from breaking into the top 5 percentile. But no matter, stuff like that can happen on the real test too so it's best to be prepared for the worst. 

Hmm, oh yes, practice for the jazz piece is going smoother as well. I'd say two more days and I should be able to memorize it completely. I played quite a bit of piano today but mostly centered around that one single piece so I wasn't able to practice much of Turkish March and the Elegy. 

Ah, I reviewed for an hour on Physics too. On when and how to apply four distinct kinematic equations in real-world problems. Oh, a bit on graphs as well. 

Yes, I think today was a pretty good day. Great, in fact. And I hope all of you had an amazing day too! cya!
