brokenrecordSo tired, but at least it's all over.
Eh. I think I did all right. The multiple choice wasn't any harder than any of the practice tests (but it also wasn't any easier). One of the questions was on a political cartoon that I've seen in 2 different practice tests and on my final in Euro. When I saw it on the test I was like "wtf, this is seriously on here?!"
The DBQ was pretty bizarre, but I think I did all right. One of the FRQ's was ridiculously easy (Catholic Reformation! Excellent!) while the other I BSed half of and relied on my knowledge of US History for the other half (it was on military, economic, and diplomatic factors for Germany's defeat in WWII).
All in all, I'd be surprised if I didn't pass, and I think I have a good chance at a 4. Very unlikely I got a 5, though.
SAT II's were this morning (at the crack of dawn). French was pretty horrible (I'm guessing around 650? ugh. I need to retake it in October, after studying vocab like crazy over the summer. I wish I had a better French teacher so I wouldn't have to teach French entirely myself), but the Math IIC was ridiculously easy. I even found it easier in a way than the math on the normal SAT I, just because it was all stuff that we're doing now rather than stuff I learned in 5th grade, and the SAT I has some random questions like "What is the maximum amount of intersections you can make with 6 lines" or whatever that I have trouble with because... you can't really do any math to figure it out. And the curve for Math IIC is ridiculous, too (you can get a good amount wrong and still get an 800), so if I don't get an 800, I'll be incredibly surprised.
It was really irritating on Friday, I would be doing like last minute cramming, and everyone would feel the need to talk to me. Especially this one guy. He's this guy that sits in front of me during Euro and I kind of know him from middle school and sometimes we'll talk about math because I have pre-calc with him and he'll just chat with me a little, and usually it's nice because I don't really have any other friends in Euro besides Seher (who's not really a great friend of mine). But geez. Friday during Euro I was clearly intensely studying my notes and taking a practice test and such, and he kept turning around and asking "Wait, I don't understand this math problem" or not even asking my for help, but just talking about random stuff. I mean, I'm clearly trying to study. Why the hell are you trying to ruin my concentration? ugh.
Anyways. Today after the SAT II I was waiting for my mom to pick me up (...not sure why I didn't drive myself, but oh well) and I decided to check my cell phone messages for the first time since like January, and there were these two really bizarre messages. The first was from this guy saying "I hope you enjoyed the game Saturday. I see you're interested in getting tickets to Clippers games" and such, and it was from February, and wtf? I don't watch basketball, go to basketball games, or like the Clippers (I loved the Lakers when I was like 8 and watched all their games, so I still have this slight preference for them now even though they suck and I don't watch basketball anymore). It was weird. The second was from this guy who called to ask me about this two bedroom, two bathroom house/apartment he was interested in buying/renting from me. I don't understand how these people got my cell phone number.
Nothing else has been happening much. I can't believe it's May already! We only have like 6 weeks of school left! (Those of you who only have like 3-4 weeks, I hate you.) And I feel so weird now that everything's over. I have nothing to worry about now: finals shouldn't be too bad since the final I was really cramming for last semester was Euro, and I've already taken that (97 on multiple choice with the curve, no idea on essays yet, but shouldn't be too terrible). All my other classes don't require nearly as much studying. I'm so used to, for the past like month, thinking "Crap, can't make icons/go on LJ/watch TV/etc. because I have to study for Euro/Math IIC/French!" It feels so weird to not have to study on a Saturday.
Anyways. That's about it. So glad everything's done. Good luck to anyone who still has an AP exam next week!
Edit: Ah, I forgot I also wanted to say, that my mom's totally into Doctor Who now. I don't know if I mentioned that I told her to watch as it aired on the Sci-Fi Network and she did and at first she thought it was entertaining but didn't think it was anything that would really hook her, but she's been watching every episode (she doesn't even need me to remind her to record it anymore when she goes out Fridays), and she absolutely loved the episode last week, with Rose's dad (momentary blanking on title), and she was talking to me about it for awhile. So now, I've managed to convert her to Doctor Who, Arrested Development, and Wonderfalls (well, kind of. She really liked it, but not as much as DW or AD). Still have yet to show her VM, but I will make her watch it eventually.
