Exams are done!
Posted June 24th, 2009 at 7:07 PM by Jake♫
Okay, let's see. To kick off my new blog, how about we do what I love doing: Talking about me! Okay, I don't really love to talk about myself, but I'm too happy that my exams are over and done with. So, let's do a test-by-test rundown, shall we?
Pre-Calculus: Oh...my...god. Seriously, I walked into this test completely confident, but quickly walked out in shambles. It didn't take very long either: I was on question 25 out of ~60, and I was about ready to stand up and walk out. Not my best moment...
American History: LOL!!! We had to be there a maximum of 2 hours, and I was already done within 1....along with the rest of the test takers. Seriously, being in AP American ahead of time seriously helps you out, as you know a heck of a lot more than the students in Regents (For those not in New York, regents is basically state-level exams, just your average class).
English (The ELA): 4 essays. Yeah, it was very time consuming. That, and it was a giant pain the in the butt. It wasn't that they were difficult, it was just that they were mind-numbing to even think about, let alone write a full fledged essay about. It spread over 2 days, however, so at least our hands weren't about the break off from our fingertips at the end of the test.
Physics: Oh boy, the big one. The one I took this morning. Actually, I might have sucked at the class, but for some reason I found this surprisingly...mild and fair. It was a pleasent shock though. At the same time, I kept going "WTF IS THIS" on a few questions, did another few, came back, and hit myself for being so stupid for not understanding it the first time.
Well, now that you have all read my little explosion of joy/anger, hopefully you will actually get some meaningful blog entries later on.
