Exams ‘07, day three

Thank goodness the German Regents was easy. If it had been even remotely difficult, I would have burned with the fire of a thousand suns. Yes, I am in fact beginning to hate having all these tests. By the Chemistry Regents I will be just filling in random numbers on the answer sheet, having ceased to care in the least.

But back to the German. We had our good friend Mary as our proctor (half the time, anyway), which meant unnecessary reminders that we “really want to do well on this test,” and other more, ah… useful information. Not that it was cheating at all, oh no.

I sort of went nuts on the writing section, throwing in 50% more words than required (I wanted three paragraphs…) and formulating such convoluted sentences that I started losing track of all my verbs– which is apt to happen in German. Stupid subordinating conjunctions.

Afterwards I journeyed into the lair of Jodi’s voice teacher, where a couple awkward high schoolers learned how to be seductive. In an 18th century sort of way. So if I start curtsying and twirling into people’s arms, you’ll know what I’m up to.

If you care to see what we were really up to, come to the recital! Next Saturday, 7:30 PM, at Kendal. You know you want to.
