Whoopee!
Well so I finally got my AP test score. I struggled and toiled those four hours and what do I have to show for it? A 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am, and I quote, "extremely well qualified." Not just "qualified," certainly not "possibly qualified," not even just "well qualified," but "extremely well qualified."
But I'm underappreciated. I gasped in surprise and was happy and proud when I saw my 5, but my father just said, "the real surprise is your brother got a 4 on physics." That's lovely, but what about my achievement? I understand that it implies that good academic achievement is nothing surprising or unexpected, but why does that mean it must be unappreciated?
So maybe someone will read my blog and appreciate that this is good and that it didn't just happen, but that I studied and worked and earned my 5. Sure I may not have studied as long and hard as some, but can't that too be appreciated?
I don't think I was expecting a 5. I figured I'd get a 3, maybe a 4, but didn't really expect a 5.
Hmm... I'm tempted to eat some of the tub of cookie dough for dinner instead of left over tuna salad. Sometimes it's nice to be the daughter of an impulse buyer. The impulse buyer and my father are at an accounting potluck. I've been to enough summer potluck things where I know noone in my life so resigned myself to dayold tuna salad that my mother chose to grate obscene amounts of carrot into so that it is actually orange. But now there's that tub of cookie dough.
I probably shouldn't though considering I ate ice cream sandwiches for breakfast/lunch.
Well I'm off to do something I suppose, or nothing as the case may be.
