5/12/21 THE AP EXAM

 Today we finally took the AP Exam. It was definitely really hard. I was able to prepare thoroughly however. I ate a good breakfast. Only problem was a small lack of sleep. Had trouble sleeping in anticipation for the exam. I eventually managed and got 7 hours of sleep in. Either way, during the test I had no problem staying awake. The multiple choice was relatively easy. I for some reason enjoyed most of the passages. Especially one of them about communication. But I didn't have very good time management for the multiple choice part. I thought I was zooming through them until the proctor announced 10 minutes remaining, and I was only on around question 28. I rushed through the remaining questions and ended up finishing but cannot confirm that I got them wrong. We can only hope that the ones that I spent most of my time on, I got correct. The free response was difficult. Really difficult. I completed it all though. But my mind was a bit fried from the previous parts. Once I got to the end, all sophistication in my writing was long gone. Just focused on answering the prompt. Better than nothing.

 Today in class we discussed a bellringer about whether education is boring or not. In my opinion, education isn't boring if you're looking at the bigger picture. But the work involved may be boring. There's also other factors. I actually enjoyed today's lesson a bit because he went over sources which helped. I was able to write a good claim and back it up with evidence from the provided texts. Overall a really good day.

Reflection 2/16/21

Today in class we started with an fun bell ringer. It took time to think about what exactly to write but, I was able to compose something meaningful. We then went over the poem ''We Real Cool".  The poem itself was rather short. It interests me to know that there are poems with not much length but heaps of meaning. This was a great exposure to a form of poetry I hardly knew existed. I am certainly glad to have read such a poem. My take on it is that because you will die one day it's important to live a fun life in your youth. We all grow up and such moments are brief in the grand scheme of things. I do appreciate the tone that the poem alludes. Overall, I really enjoyed today's lesson.

 Today in class we went over more synthesis essays. We looked at images and made claims about them. We learned that you can analyze images and make claims using the images alone or use the images as evidence. We also learned more about sources. To be honest, I am having a few issues with the recent prompts. They're pretty hard to understand without rereading them a lot. Of course I won't have time to do so during the exam. Hopefully he goes over them more or reexplains methods to comprehend the prompts.
