06/26/01 10:44 PM: ACT and New Computer
Woah, I am tired. It has been a while since an update, hasn’t it. I am way to tired to actually write anything original. So, here it goes, in the news—
BISMARCK, N.D., June 26 – North Dakotans can’t move their state to warmer climes, but some hope a proposed name change will at least help the state seem a little less northern. The Greater North Dakota Association, the state’s chamber of commerce, is backing a proposal to cut the state’s name to “Dakota.” Supporters insist the plan would help alter the state’s image as a frigid, treeless prairie.
One word: hahahaha.
So, I received my ACT score from the “National Test Day.” Thirty-four. WOO! Just for that, visit thirtyfour.org Word.
