Exams ‘08, day four

2006: one | two | three
2007: one | two | three | four | five
2008: one | two | three

Hey! Look at my day!

1. Physics.
2. More physics.
3. Studied physics during free period.
4. Skipped German (with permission), went to lunch to panic about physics.
5-8. Physics AP exam.
8+. No more physics!!!

This is why I am happy I do not take 9 periods of classes like many of my fellow juniors. You are all silly. My life is better.

Also, Ms. L baked us cookies to eat before the test. I still don’t fully forgive her for thinking √2/2 ≠ 1/√2, but it was still totally sweet in more ways than one.

Then I was pretty proud of myself for having remembered to bring my calculator, unlike two of my friends. And for saving the day by reminding the proctors to give us straight edges.

However, I am not at all proud of myself for being utterly unable to press calculator buttons correctly. Seriously! I’d have the formulas and numbers and everything written down right, but then I wouldn’t enter it into my calculator correctly and would thus get the wrong answer. This occurred multiple times. And since I didn’t have (nearly) enough time to check everything, I really really hope I didn’t miss it anywhere else. That would be a stupid place to lose points. (Are there smart places to lose points? Yes, I say. Anyplace I lose points is by definition a smart place to lose points.)

As for the multiple choice: blah, mental arithmetic.  There were also a few questions that nearly made me burst out laughing because we had NEVER talked about how to solve them and I had NO CLUE how to do so. Good stuff.

But probably the highlight of my day was putting my calculator in Jenny’s pants.

And then! FREEDOM!!!!!!

Three-fifths of my classes are (effectively) OVER, the concerto competition is OVER, in a week (!) Ping’s recital will be OVER, in a month and a half school and all the rest of my recitals will be OVER, OVER, OVER…

Time, dude. It has this funny way of passing that I can just never wrap my mind around.
