Back to the Game

So, it's almost time for our final inclass projects.  My group is going to be presenting on the American Dream.  I think it's a really interesting subject, and that there is a ton of information to be found about it.  I mean, the American dream has changed so much over time, yet has stayed so much the same.  This is really taking me back to AP US History last year.  Hope every goup is enjoying working on this project and will have great presentations when we start presenting in only three days.

Wiki!

I was doing research last night for the big final project thing, and I found a great website that suggests other places to find more info.  Not only is it a good place to start, it has a weird name.

The AP's

So, it's almost the end of the second and final week of AP testing.  How has the testing been in general for everyone?  What tests have you guys taken? 

I chose to take AP English Language, AP English Literature, and AP Psychology this year after AP US history last year, so when I enter college, I'll already technically be done with one semester of college.

The prices of the AP tests though are getting pretty high, and at most schools you have to have pretty decent scores on them to get any credit.  Do you guys still think it's worth taking the tests given that information?

Question #3

Alright, it's been 48 hours, so I guess it's okay to post this now (if anyone even looks at the blog anymore.) What character did everyone do for the third essay on the AP? I did Christmas from LIA, but it was somewhat of a stretch. Did anyone have a character who perfectly fit the question?

THE AP IS OVER! HOORAY! HOORAY!

I think this post is self-explanatory.

Simpsons of the week: Bart Gets a big brother named Tom to get back at Homer for being a lousy dad. Bart tells Tom that he was given away in a game of blackjack because Homer was drunk. Tom and Homer meet.

Tom: Bart, you know not to talk with strangers.

Homer: For your information, I happen to be his dad.

Tom: The drunken gambler?

Homer (in a jolly voice): Yes. And who might you be?
