I did not enjoy that second practice AP test. It looks like I'll be sticking with the first score because that was just brutal. Not cool. I felt like I didn't even know what a lot of the words were. Normally I star all the questions I am iffy on and go back to them, but I stopped starring questions on this one about 20 questions in because there was no point anymore. They all needed starts. I am confused, though, because it felt like the test got slightly easier as it went on, but it is supposed to be easiest to hardest. I also learned this week that I am horrible at FRQs. Got a solid 3/14 on the ones in class. That was really frustrating because I knew all of the concepts given (except for one or two) and I knew how they related to the question, but I missed most of the points by a couple of words. So, I guess I just need to learn to elaborate really well on the actual exam and hope that the grading is not as difficult🙄

Well, that test was definitely not fun. I tried my best to study the 800 pages worth of stuff in one ALEC period plus a little more, but I forgot to look over some things (such as reliability and validity, which really came back to bite me). Whatever I get the score that I get. At least we still have most of the term left to try and get our grades up. I am just happy it's over. I was worried about this test and the Gov test all week, but now they are both done and I feel like I can finally breathe and focus on the weekend (prim pram prom). You should really not put our test scores in until after prom because I'm trying to have a good time.

I read the entire social psychology unit last night because I hate myself apparently. At least that fresh-ish knowledge was useful on the quiz, which seemed pretty easy (but, now that I say that I'm going to get a D or something). Anyways, I still have to finish modules 71-73, but I am pretty content because I am almost done and there's no more stress of reading deadlines hanging over my head (in this class anyways... Mo is still truckin' with the Gov reading🙄). I can't wait for the AP test to be over so we relax even more. It is going to be a rough few weeks though. I'm looking forward to this 4 day weekend to sleep and get completely caught up in classes and then next weekend is prom so that's exciting as well:))

Thanks for that "pop" quiz that was a really great way to end the week. I definitely don't think I did amazing, but I did okay considering I realized I do not have notes for the therapies. Whatever it is what it is. I am really happy that we are almost done with the readings. I love the class, but I can't ever seem to find enough time outside of school to do the readings as well as take notes on them. I have definitely started sliding really bad recently, but I just have to hold it together for one more term. Pray for Star and I.

Also- It was really interesting talking about Schizophrenia in class because my brother has it along with many other things (Autism, Bipolar, blindness, nonverbal, etc.). I started to wonder how he really was ever able to be diagnosed with Schizo, though, since he is nonverbal. Also, since he has Autism, I wonder if he was misdiagnosed with Schizo on top of it as we were discussing. Something to think about.

I'm going to write this right now because I can promise you I will forget to do it tomorrow. I am super stressed out as normal:))). I haven't taken actual notes from the reading in forever because I can hardly find the time to even read so this test is going to be brutal. I honestly don't even know what I don't know. I was going to being in tissues for extra credit, but I don't think all the tissues in the world will be able to compensate for the hit my grade is about to take. It's okay, though. I have managed to keep my grade up fairly well this term so I think that the worst that can happen is that I go down to a B (hopefully). And I'm not going to complain about that. It would be nice to keep an A, but at this point, I don't even see how that is going to be possible and I am not worried about it. We will see I guess. Fingers crossed.

Look who procrastined until Sunday night once again!!! :))) I actually have a legit excuse this time, though, so it's alright. I am very tired and we have that FRQ tomorrow (which is just brutal, btw, I dont even know what we are learning). Sooo I'm going to hit the sack because, you know, sleep is apparently actually really helpful and important. I wouldn't really know. So, for once, instead of attempting to study for this FRQ, I'm just going to go to sleep- the most effective study technique of all. Night

Thank god for the 4 day weekend. In all honestly, (1) I got extremely far behind with notes and (2) I completely forgot to do this on Friday so here I am at 12:30am on Sunday frantically trying to come up with something to talk about. So, I guess I will rant about how many hours I have spent thus far over this "vacation" trying to catch up. I decided not to do any homework on Wednesday and enjoy myself. That was my first mistake. I lost a solid like 3 modules worth of time right there (modules are actually a time unit now). On Thursday I slept in and took notes on 3 modules only. Second mistake. On Friday I finally woke up at a respectable time (before noon) and got crap done before work. I told myself I would do more after work.. I was just lying to myself with that one. On Saturday I most definitely did not wake up at a decent time (around 2:00 give or take [stop judging, Dreier]) and I rolled out of bed at 5. I forced myself to be productive from 5-midnight though so it's alright. BUT I'm mad because I thought we only had to get through module 50 by Monday but NOPE. Got another 60 pages to read in one day so I don't fail that quiz (if we are having that still) and I have to work so this is just a ball of fun!!!!!!!! Maybe it's a good thing though. After all, the more stressed I am the less likely I am to get sick (at the same time)!! Who needs mental stability when you can have physical "health"? Please don't yell at me if I fall asleep Monday after that 3 hours of sleep I will be getting. Also, please give me points for this eventhough it is late because I'm on the verge of an emotional breakdown and I might actually try to fight you (or start bawling idk which one yet)---- thanks:-))))
