So tired, but at least it's all over.

( AP Euro )

( SAT IIs )

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.

So, when I said that I would be answering that picture meme I was going to do this week, I forgot that this week I was going to start seriously studying for APs. Pretty much all week all I've been doing is studying for my final in AP Euro (a week before I take the AP), the actual AP exam, and SAT II's (Math IIC and French). The only time I've really spent not studying for them was last night when Soan and Emma slept over and we watched 10 Things I Hate About You (my 500th time) and Knight's Tale (1st time) and became puddles over Heath Ledger.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to Boston for spring break to visit colleges and won't be back until the next Sunday, and then I'll only have 2 weeks for APs and SAT II's, so basically I'm going on hiatus. I may pop in to write a brief post now and then, but I'll be pretty much entirely gone from now until May 6th. See you all when I get back!

SAT scores this morning! I got a 690 reading, which is 10 points higher than the highest score I got on the practice tests this summer, and I got a 690 writing, which is around the lowest writing scores I've gotten. The essay got an 8, so yeah, not as good as it could've been. But the math! I got an 800! How freaking insane is that?! So, overall, 2180! 70 points higher than my highest practice test this summer! Awesome. I'm so happy about that. Now I don't have to worry as much about retaking it. I'm satisfied with my score, but I may retake it just to see if I can boost up the writing, because I know I can do a lot better on it than I did. So yeah, anyways, there's a load off my mind.

Also got those essays on Canterbury Tales we wrote back on the day Veronica Mars premiered back. I got a 42.5/50, which is an 85! I'm so happy about that, you have no idea. And if that wasn't good enough, she sclaed the essays out of 45, so now my score is a 94, and that's enough to bring my grade up 6 percent to a 85! I'm so happy. :D I know my grade won't stay that high up, but at least it helps for now.

Nintendo Fusion Tour next Monday! I'm so excited. It should be awesome.

I think Prison Break is returning tonight? I thought it was next week, along with Arrested Development, but I saw a promo last night when I was watching a little bit of the Prison Break marathon that was on FX (like, 10 min of it, maybe), and it said it was coming back tonight. I should probably check on that.
