We Are the Champions!

This morning I rode to school alone with the windows down and "We Are the Champions" blasting as I sang along, for this morning was the AP Biology test. After weeks of stress and not really having any time to study, I can confidently say that I should get at least a four on the test if not a five. I'd be truly astonished if I got anything short of a high five on the multiple choice, and I think I could have gotten a four on the essay. I could go into all the details of what was and wasn't on the test, but the only reader who would have a good idea of what I'd be talking about took the test with me. Plus, she has only visited this blog once to my knowledge.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm pretty much done with the school year. Well, mentally anyway. I still have to attend for twelve more days. One of those days will be two hours shorter than normal, one will be spent at King's Island, two will include short field trips, and two others will only require me to be there for a single exam. If Captain Jack hadn't fiddled with exemptions, I would only have nine days left, and I wouldn't have to go to school on my birthday. However, Cpt. Jack decided that underclassmen can no longer be exempt from finals, and that AP teachers have to give exams even to those students who took the AP test. Fortunately, my biology teacher is probably just going to ask us to name a macromolecule or something, and my art exam will just be a critique of our final project (which I'm ahead on, for once!). That leaves exams for honors pre-calculus, honors english, French IV, and honors physics. We'll probably get cheat sheets for physics and pre-calc, and english will be a breeze. The only challenge will be the fact that the french teacher is a complete *bleep* and will probably, once again, make our exam almost entirely based on grammar. That's somewhat problematic, considering the fact that we don't really learn grammar.

This week (almost) marks the finale of end-of-the-year concerts/ceremonies/etc. that require my presence as well. All that remains is a concert, a recital, two awards ceremonies, senior citizen prom, the last art club, a contest, and graduation. Only two of these come after this week.

It looks like I've just about survived my junior year. I don't even want to think about next year (except for the joy over the fact that I'll probably get all the classes I signed up for). Or about this summer for that matter. I have a lot that needs to be done over the summer and a lot that I'd like to get done.
