I'm Back!
Hey, everybody! I'm back from Disney (which was really, really awesome).
So, I found this in one of the gift shops, and, of course, I just had to buy it:
One of the most magical things I found in Disney was seeing all of the Red Sox hats and shirts everywhere. Seriously, they were everywhere. If you turned around 360°, you would see at least one person wearing some type of Red Sox apparel. Maybe this doesn't seem weird for some of you (especially those who live in New England), but it was unlike anything else for me. The Yankee fans from my school didn't like this one bit (because, for once, they were the minority), but I absolutely loved being able to see how big Red Sox Nation really is.
Now, I move from one of the most relaxing weeks of my life to one of the most stressful, all thanks to AP Exams. I'll try to explain this without being too confusing: AP stands for 'Advanced Placement', which means it's similar to a college-level class. In May, you can take an AP Exam (for $80), and if you score well (1 is the worst; 5 is the best) you can get college credit that you can use to skip a pre-requisite of a class or a class altogether when you get to college.
I'm taking AP English, US History, and European History this year. Because whoever made the schedule obviously hates me, I have both my US and Euro History exams on Friday. Each exam lasts a few hours (with 80 multiple choice questions and three essays EACH), so I won't even get to eat lunch between tests (unless I sneak in a snack while switching rooms).
If I live past Friday, I'm taking my English exam next Wednesday. This test is one that you can't study for at all, and the multiple choice part is kind of like the reading sections on the SAT/ACT, except about a billion times harder, and there's also three essays for this one.
So, if I'm not around commenting or posting in the near future, that means:
a) I'm studying for an AP Exam
b) I'm catching up on sleep from Disney
c) I died or my hand fell off while taking an AP Exam
I'm trying to prevent the last one, but I'm not sure if I'll be that lucky...
