it's finally done

so the ap test was today, and I think I did alright. I thought it was definitely alot tuffer than the practice test and I felt a little over confident. The multiple choice was not that bad and I felt like I had just the right amount of time to think through all of them. Overall, I think I did average.

But what a reflief it is to finally know that it is done! We've worked so hard for a whole year for one test and we all completed it together. I know for a fact that each and every one of us grew as a writer, reader, and maybe even a person! I know I did! This class made me question some of the hardest questions life gives us and I really appreciate that. I can't for when I go to college and I will actually know what the professors are talking about because Mrs. Clinch basically is a college professor!

So since this is my last blog ever, (thank god), I wanted to share my favorite memories about AP Lit/Comp. The funniest memory we had was reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead in class aloud. Nothing was funnier than Kevin as Alfred, but the great thing was that we actually got it, and we understood that it was funny! I don't think I could have gotten that if I read it alone, so I really appreciated us reading it aloud. A more serious, favorite memory I have were our Grapes of Wrath discussions because that was my favorite book that we read this whole year. I think we really dug through the book and tore it apart. I feel like I really know it and I even used it on the AP exam. Besides that, the book just taught we a lot about life in general and it made me think a lot about the events that are happening today. I think Steinbeck's words of change and revolution will always be with me.

Well this is my last blog, but I would just like to say that I've really enjoyed this class because it was a challenge for me and I succeeded. Even if I do not pass the AP exam, I feel achieved in my mind and I know I have a grown a whole lot throughout this year. Thank you Mrs. Clinch for helping me learn and understand literature better and better each day!:)

it's getting closer and closer

to the ap exam! I don't think i'll actually believe it until i'm actually there taking it. This whole year has lead up to this one test and it's extremely overwhelming! However, I really think we're reading guys.

So I took the practice test over the weekend and I think it really went well. I felt sooo much better prepared and the timing was actually not that bad. If you divide the amount of passages you have by the amount of time you have, you'll have the time frame you'll have for each passage. I did that and it really helped! I had 20 minutes left for me to go back and check my work. And even though Mrs. Clinch doesn't admit it, her questions she gave us for practice were alot harder! I was almost surprised at how easy the questions were, but I do not want to jinx myself and get super hard questions (knock on wood...).

The part I felt most confident on were the essays. We had PLENTY of time and I even got to leave early:). But I really liked the open question, and I selected a work with ease. I even got to write a good three pages for it and it was the first 8 I ever recieved!

Over all, I think it was a great success and definitely gave me more insight into what the test will be like!
