Okay, I accept my nomination as the worst driver of the senior class. Recent events have… transpired. I’ll spare you most all of the details, but in my defense, the car does veer by itself due to poor tire alignment.
My fears are a little, just a little, allayed for the chem and psych exams on Tuesday. Today was the finals for each. 68/75 for psych and 64.25/75 for chem. But I still didn’t beat Junyong’s score. (P.S. I hate you.)
That leaves me freer focus on the physics test on Monday. I recently learned that I need to get fives on both AP Physics exams or they’re all for naught. I get no credit for fours. That ups the ante a little. Especially since on the practice exams, I got a four for mechanics and a two on electricity and magnetism.
I’ve also recently had problems with sleep. It’s all because of the damn sunlight. My house doesn’t have any drapes or curtains. So when the sun rises at about 5:36 AM, my closed white blinds illuminate the room with a cold blue glow. This, in combination with me being a light sleeper, makes it hard to study late. In fact I tried to go to sleep extra-early on Wednesday night (for the English Lit AP exam) at 8:30. I ended up sleeping only six hours, laying awake in bed from 3 AM to 5, when I decided to start sparknoting every novel I had read in preparation.
So if you remember my earlier post about my daily 6 PM mental crash, you can predict what happened since my day was time-shifted 3 hours. I crashed at 3 PM right in time for the physics review, which explains my worry-inducing behavior. Don’t worry, people. That’s normal. Usually happens everyday but no one ever sees it. I don’t think I’m not going completely uninsane.
I’ve remedied my window problem by putting some old cardboard over them to block out the light. I get a few extra minutes of sleep and the neighbors get treated to my seventh grade science project board.
