Ookla the Absent Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I MADE 4 OUT OF 5 ON THE AP TEST I AM WELL QUALIFIED FOR AP WORLD HISTORY I'M CRYING Nice. When I took that one, I got a 3. Fortunately, I did really well on the multiple choice, because I wrote one essay, one paragraph, and ran out of time, so I drew the Eye of Sauron on the third essay page. I assume you did better than that. 2

Blaze1616 he/him Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Nice. When I took that one, I got a 3. Fortunately, I did really well on the multiple choice, because I wrote one essay, one paragraph, and ran out of time, so I drew the Eye of Sauron on the third essay page. I assume you did better than that. At least it wasn't a hand-turkey! Hand-turkeys are famous in the AP test graders' world. My AP World History teacher volunteers to grade essays every year, and he says that the tradition is that the first person to get a hand-turkey buys the first round of drinks that night, and the person who accumulates the most hand-turkeys buys the drinks on the last night. 1
Kestrel she/her Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 That's incredible What if I just drew one in my packet No sort of heading or indication as to why its there Just a hand turkey
Blaze1616 he/him Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure whether they count randomly placed hand-turkeys or not. He was telling the story as a means to calm our jitters. He also read us some of the worst responses every given. Like they legitimately tried to respond, and every word was incorrect. Note: By nature of giving a response, they got a 1 or a 2 for that essay. Edited July 10, 2015 by Blaze1616
Kestrel she/her Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 On the mock exam, one of my friends just drew a picture on the page because they couldn't think up a reply.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I heard of one guy who, hearing that the stuff in the margins wasn't graded, drew a very intricate picture of Leonidas beating up a Canadian. 1
Kestrel she/her Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 The margins aren't graded on the STAAR essay, there's even a little box that says "do not write outside lines" or whatever so I just wrote in the side "#THUGLYFE" 1
Kobold King he/him Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I just sent my first email to Brandon Sanderson, wherein I asked him to consider releasing the Epic profiles he created for Regalia, Newton, and Obliteration as promotional items for Firefight. I asked him whether he'd be willing to provide them as downloads on his web site or via his newsletter. ... I think it's a fairly valid request, but somehow I feel like I just clambered into a dragon's cave and asked it to share its gold. 2
Kestrel she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That feel when you're so hurt by some of your internet friends that even seeing their name on the site makes you cringe and want to curl up and leave the world. Nobody on here, though. I've just started feeling neglected there. Like. An old dog bone that got forgotten because a new bone was bought. Or something. And every time I talk to them they're like "oh sorry -insert excuse here, like technical difficulties-" um I'm sorry but if you're having technical difficulties then why have you posted almost every day but can't even say a simple hi to me? Idk I'm just feeling really alone right now. 1

On a side note, what on earth is a hand Turkey?
Kestrel she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 *HUGS* Well, I'm not so sure they are people you want to be friends with to begin with. . Hang with us, we're the cool crowd and we love you . On a side note, what on earth is a hand Turkey? I don't know.. I've been friends with them for like.. six years. I don't want to see that go. But. Yeah, I love this place so much better in any case. <3Oh, a hand turkey. Its where you trace your hand, and then make a turkey out of it. like this
Delightful Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) That's hard. I'm sorry . LOL why have I never seen that before? I feel deprived So is it a sign of boredom or of not knowing the answers? Edited July 11, 2015 by Delightful
Kestrel she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I'm leaning to the second, but the first is probably also part of it. If you're not writing, you have nothing to do.
Delightful Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I'd just scribble eyes everywhere, or daydream a story. But you could make an art out of hand turkeys.
Kestrel she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I drew a wolf in my planning packet I finished with 30 minutes to spare.
Kobold King he/him Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 As some of you know, I write topics for a homeschooling curriculum. Today my boss (who is also my mother) asked me if I'd finished the topic I'm supposed to write on smallpox... MOTHER: Jared, have you finished smallpox yet? ME: No... that's the World Health Organization's job! * crickets chirping * ME: ...Did you hear me? I said-- MOTHER: I heard what you said. It just wasn't funny. ME: Sad face. MOTHER: Stop talking in emoticons. 10
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Confession: I don't think the Hoover Dam is really worth seeing. 3
Kaymyth she/her Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Confession: I don't think the Hoover Dam is really worth seeing. It's slightly more interesting when you get to tour the inner workings and see the stuff.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Confession: I don't think the Hoover Dam is really worth seeing. It's fine, but I wouldn't plan a trip around it. It'd be more of a "well, I'm all ready here, I guess it's also time for a bathroom break... might as well".
