I do not know why I decided to create a WordPress. Maybe because Xanga got too boring. And I guess I wanted a more sophisticated way of expressing my feelings.
For one thing, I should be studying for my Stats AP final instead of blogging. But I lack the motivation to do so.
I feel somewhat screwed because I called the admissions office at LMU and they said that they sent me a letter a couple of days ago saying that they want my first semester grades. Crap. My grades aren’t horrific and sub-par, but I’m concerned because I feel like I bombed my Gov AP final today. And I’m applying to LMU as a political science major. So I don’t think it would look very good on my transcript if I was doing poorly in the very class that I want to have a career in…
Hmm. The last time I checked, my grade sucked. But that was because Recktenwald still had to add in some quizzes, our Hardball extra credit, a test deletion, and the deletion of 2 quizzes. But then again, I don’t know if my grade would change that much.
I felt like I did alright on the multiple choice. And then the first FRQ was pretty easy, but it was super long. The second one was harder and I feel like my answer was too vague (mostly because I didn’t know half of what I was talking about). I have the ability to make up stuff on the spot when it comes to FRQs (like the one where it asked about changes in congressional elections and I wrote about mudslinging…and ended up getting 100%), but it doesn’t always work (like the time I thought that the NAACP would use campaign funding to promote its interests, but it supposedly wasn’t as likely to use it as it would be for litigation or grassroots lobbying). That is bullshit. I’ve looked up various NAACP websites and they are all trying to wheedle their members and free-riders into donating money for Obama. But I guess the question was based on likelihood, which is also bullshit, because I don’t think that it is very nice or fair to dangle an apple in front of a horse and say “Take a bite of this!” and then say, “You were supposed to BITE it. I never said for you to swallow it! Heehee!”
Nonetheless, I will miss Gov AP. I am proud for never ever being tardy to Gov AP once this semester. I am proud for never falling asleep in Gov AP this semester. I will miss running to the library at 7:20 a.m. to frantically check NPR and CNN and memorize random news happenings. I will miss laughing my head off in first period and going off to Lit AP in a wonderful mood. I will miss ‘Challenge of Democracy’ and laughing over and over again at that sentence in the chapter about ‘Interest Groups’ that said, “Maybe someday the Rosa Parks of obese people will catalyze the fire that lights the way to political mobilization.”
Ah, okay. Thoughts completed.
Time to go cram Statistics into my head.
