It was pretty sad, actually.  My last band concert, ever&#8230;.  It was really sad when we had to go accept our Senior Plaques.  Miss Clutts was all sad and she was crying when each of us came up and, I&#8217;ll admit it, I cried.  It was even worse when they read the thing about Kayla, and gave her plaque to her parents.  I think that was a good thing to do, though.  Then the seniors played &#8220;I Will Remember You&#8221; (the version we played was arranged by Mr. Nguyen, which is kinda neat), while Heather Cripps read a poem.  It was cool.  The band I&#8217;m in played <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">October<\/span> by Eric Whitacre (if you&#8217;ve never heard this song, go find it and listen to it <span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">NOW<\/span><\/span>!!!  In fact, I&#8217;ll make it easy on you and tell you that there&#8217;s a recording on <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.soundclick.com\/bands\/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=490225\">this page<\/a>) and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">An American Overture for Band<\/span> (don&#8217;t know who composed this one, I didn&#8217;t like it very much).  <\/p>\n<p>The next day (Wednesday, for those of you who haven&#8217;t been keeping track), I had to get up early and take the AP Calculus test.  It wasn&#8217;t as bad as it was made out to be, and I felt fairly good until the last section of the free response section.  It was killer.  I still think I&#8217;ll get a two, maybe a three.  Then, when we got back to school, it was time for EAST, and Mr. Clay had bought all of the seniors in EAST a USB Jump drive, a Sharpie to sign &#8220;The Table,&#8221; and some candy.  It was really nice of him.  Now I just have to figure out what I&#8217;m going to sign on the table.  (Kinda need to figure that out since my last day is tomorrow&#8230;<img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"15\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/images\/silly.gif\" \/>)  Then I took Mrs. Smith&#8217;s advice on how to prepare for her AP test&#8230; I just did stuff with my friends.  (Yes she did tell us just to have fun to prepare us for the test.)<\/p>\n<p>Then today (Thursday, for the uninitiated), I again got up early to take the AP English Literature and Composition test.  (AP English 12, for the regular people)  It sucked.  The multiple choice questions weren&#8217;t all that bad, but they weren&#8217;t good, either.  But the essays<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> SUCKED<\/span><\/span>.  I just BS&#8217;d them all, and I know they sucked.  And the allotted time for three essays was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">TWO FRIGGIN&#8217; HOURS<\/span><\/span><\/span>.  Not only that, but during the essay part, I suddenly got this killer headache.  (Coincidence, I think not)  So today sucked, BIG ONES.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and in my last post, I talked about the &#8220;practice&#8221; AP test we took for English.  It turns out I had the highest score for the Multiple Choice (don&#8217;t know how that worked), and on my essays I got two 7s, and an 8.  And the eight was on the essay about the e. e. cummings poem&#8230; oh, the irony.  Too bad that wasn&#8217;t the REAL AP test&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;s all for now&#8230; but man, what a post&#8230;. over 2600 characters&#8230;that&#8217;s quite insane. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, time for a lovely update brought to you by yours truly&#8230; This week has been crazy, literally.
