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.
