back to the salt mines
May. 2nd, 2005 11:28 pmI should not be allowed to get away with studying for only 25 minutes for an AP exam. The exam ended up taking four and a half hours of my time and left me somewhat brain dead afterwards. You can only stare at grammar and verb tenses for so long until you can't remember how to conjugate any regular in the present tense. Generally it was pretty easy though. Most of the delays came from bureaucratic pettiness; approximately every twenty minutes there's some new form to sign and more identification numbers to scribble down to protect the contents of the test or whatever. Goodness gracious, the French AP exam isn't exactly the treasure of Sierra Madre! I'm not allowed to talk anything relating to the multiple choice section other than the basic format for the rest of my life. Not only did that eat up a lot of time, but the recording equipment in the language lab was having issues. Apparently nobody's ever thought of keeping equipment that's a little older that non-IT professionally trained people can use; our proctor was totally bewildered.
I just had to find out that I didn't have to actually show up to any of my classes this morning. Three different people assured me that AP exams on Monday afternoons don't let you have the morning off because you have the entire weekend to study; nobody bothered to tell me otherwise. I only discovered that I could've actually studied for something else in the middle of biology, at which point I didn't see the point in leaving the middle of class as afterwards I would have to start my calculus placement exam the next period. It ended up being that my math teacher was called for jury duty later in the afternoon so we had a normal class homework review day that I could've quite happily skipped. To add insult to injury, I also discovered that I didn't have to show up in uniform, either.
I still have to read an entire play for tomorrow, and I can't seem to find that rather handy leftover piece I was going to submit to CrWr. Urgh. This is going to be a long haul tonight. I swear that I've fallen asleep unknowingly sometime this evening because I'm more pressed for time than usual. That also might be because I got home late due to the unprecedented length of the French AP.
I seem to have reached the point where I'm swearing at Karen (my laptop) in languages I don't really know. I am currently assuming that sleep deprivation and pent up grumpiness has made me slightly crazy in the process.
Generic Stress Girl is my new heroine.
