this is the part where I completely stress out because I suddenly realize that the ap test is in less than 48 hours. delayed reactions can be a bitch.
speaking of delayed reactions, you know what I really hate? when I refer to a conversation I had anywhere between 2 seconds ago to however far back I am thinking, and as I think back, I realize that I wasn't listening at all. the entire conversation. and I had actually carried on a conversation without listening to a word the other person was saying. I could tell you where it took place and who it was with and even sometimes what it was about if I was paying attention in the beginning. and it's not even that I was bored or didn't want to listen, I just completely drifted without even realizing it. I did that the other day with ap euro. in her review class, we ended up taking the same multiple choice as some of us had with mr. locicero (which by then we had already gone over with him) so syd and I took it in like 20 minutes just to see how much we retained, and one of the questions came up that he had told us the answer to and I thought "oh yeah he told us this one" and I remember going over it and him talking and me saying "ohh" and nodding my head and getting the right answer and as I stared at the test I realized that all that time I didn't even listen to what he was saying. not a word of it. I need to work on that, because I can see that being a problem in the future.
I smell french toast.
