it's like seeing a car crash from inside the car

i thought the ap us history exam yesterday sucked (three essays in a row = death), but taking the sat today was one of the most awful experiences of my entire life. i spent FIVE AND HALF HOURS at the testing center, thanks in part to having to wait 45 minutes in line, during which time i had the treat of listening to the kids behind me analyze their drug use in great detail ("well, it's mostly just vodka, but it has an olive in it, so you feel like a badass!"). and even after that, the sat is SO FUCKING LONG. it was long but manageable when i took it in middle school, but this time i was so fried by the end that i'm surprised i even managed to fill in all the bubbles. i also managed to only fall asleep once, which is an accomplishment of sorts.

sorry about that. i'm going to go go into a coma or something now.
