Multiple Choice

With the infamous multiple choice game tomorrow I would like to, for once, put all the trash talk aside and wish everyone well-deserved luck. Primarily, for the simple reason that I have never misunderstood a poem more than I did today. All I grasped the entire period was it had something to do with coins, the earth, and tears. As a collective unit, not separate teams, I believe we all accomplished something fantastic just through our ability to decipher some meaning from that cryptic piece of writing. For goodness sakes, most high school students are still developing their five paragraph essay skills while we sit at our desks and attempt to determine whether a poem (which I could barely comprehend) symbolizes the anxiety of lovers, the world's demise, or a broken up couple. All seem like perfectly legitimate answers to me! In all honesty, I am proud and thankful to be surrounded in a single classroom by so many intelligent people who, each and everyday force me to become smarter. The second reason I would like to extend my hand to everyone in the other groups is because we all need the EXTRA CREDIT. I don't think there has ever been a class in the history of Chagrin Falls where more people are sitting on a B+ to end the third quarter. It's demoralizing to think, one can work so hard but fall slightly short of that almighty A. I know there are a handful of people in our very class who hold a perfect transcript, without a single A, and I sincerely hope that they can achieve a feat which I am unable to even fathom. Good luck tomorrow everyone, and rack up that EC!!!

Five Steps to a...7-

Hours of hand cramps and brain farts. Weeks of sweat and tears. Months of pain and anguish. Years of acceptance and comedy. I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT!!! Change the title of my blog and eliminate all the sarcasm that goes with it! Today, at 10:22:17 A.M. I received my first ever AP rubric score that entered into the sound barrier, or more commonly known as a score that begins with the number 7. Granted, it was a 7- but who cares! I'm loving it more than a quarter pounder with fries from Mickie Ds! Most of you English hotshots will scoff at my achievement– Kreger will shove his 199/200 in my face (a score which I cannot even fathom), Donley will start listing his streak of 8s, and I can only imagine the score that my desk bud, Ms. O'hara, received. But let me tell you something, there is nothing better than getting a paper back with a 7- on it, especially after you set the all-time record streak for consecutive 5 pluses (hence the title of my blog). So I will end this blog early, and reward myself with a night filled of basking in my newfound glory in the eyes of Ms. Serensky (I hope).
