It's that time of the year again. Usually when people say this they are referring to raking leaves or taking down Christmas lights. Luckily I have no rake in hand, and I am afraid of ladders. So instead I get a three day AP Comp final, sprinkled with a dash of APUSH vocab and reading quizzes. Add in a huge APUSH map and date test tomorrow. Three Spanish finals. Oh and that sorta biggish presentation thing in AP Comp. So I mean, obviously my life is much better than the average Joe taking out down the lights. Oh yes, I have it good.
So what if I am nervous beyond belief? What about the insane number of hours I have sequestered myself in my room for these past two weeks? Who cares if the next week is going to suck even more than this one? I have learned more in the past five months than in any other period of my life. There was never a single moment that I questioned taking AP Language in Composition. Not when I failed for the first time. Not when I failed a quiz for the third time. Not when I was ready to pull my hair out over figuring out rhetoric. Every time I open Tindall I regret taking AP US History. With each X I solve for, I curse to the Math Gods. Spanish, I love. (Sorry for interrupting proving that AP Comp is the best, but what can I say? Lo Siento. Me encanta Espanol.)
Yes, I am very nervous for the last part of the final. But I have participated. I have learned. And I will perform. Tomorrow at 7:30 AM with my Bic mechanical pencil in hand, I will complete my final with confidence that I have worked hard and will do what I can do. And that is all I can ask from myself.
But for now, I'm going to get back to reviewing what I have learned.
Yes! And you will succeed!
