Hey look! A post that's not about Star Trek!

Captain's blog, stardate 1027.4....
No Star Trek-centric post today, I promise. I had a chem test on Monday. I did OK on it, not great but not bad either. I never do all that amazing on assignments or tests. Then again, I don't really care what my grades are except in math, so that would explain a lot.

Tests remind me of a good topic for you all to be aware of: test-taking superstitions! I'm very superstitious, but only for fun. All my superstitions are ones that I came up with myself, so you can reassure yourself that I'm not blindly following others.
How to Have Good Luck on Tests
1) Put a small braid in your hair, and (preferably) pull the rest of your hair back. I shall illustrate.

That picture is from me being Anakin Skywalker last Halloween, but it demonstrates the proper hairstyle. The braid is traditionally worn by Jedi padawans to designate their status. It's good luck because it means the Force is with you. The Force is very useful on tests. Particularly physics tests (I'd apologize for making so many jokes at the expense of physics, but it's their own fault for using every letter and a whole bunch of common words to stand for things...)






2) Wear a yellow shirt!
There is actually a sliding scale of which shirt colors are best to wear on a test day. Yellow is best, followed by green, blue, most other colors, and finally red. Red shirts should be avoided at all costs. If you have ever seen the original Star Trek series, you know why. (The people who die always have red shirts. Well, almost always, there are a couple exceptions.) Yellow (and, on occasion, green) is the color of Kirk's shirt and he is one of the luckiest individuals ever. Blue is worn by science officers and thus is probably helpful on science tests, though I haven't tried it.
3) Eat apples. This is a brand new one that I made up only yesterday. It does not have a source, it's just because I like apples. A lot. Actually, if you do want a source, watch the new Star Trek movie. Kirk is eating an apple while he takes the Kobayashi Maru exam. (He passes. Duh.) Therefore, by application of incredibly flawed logic, apples will help you pass tests!

Well, I didn't lie when I said this post wasn't about Star Trek, cause it wasn't. It was about superstitions. I never said I wasn't going to mention Star Trek, now did I?

Aaaaaaanyway, got a whole lot of homework to buckle down to. See y'all later.
