I feel okay, but dang there's a ton of stuff in Psych and if the whole exam covers the nervous system instead of like the experimental method and therapy than I'm in trouble. I didn't take AP Psych, but the most difficult AP exam I did take (AP US History) covered a wide range of topics. So did AP US Gov and AP English Lit. So you should be okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I just had a lady get elitist with me because she had to do her research with encyclopedias. "You actually had to work," she told me. "With computers, everything's just handed to you." Ma'am, do you not understand the point of technological advancement? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblade5 he/him Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 My AP World teacher is awesome. For the past month, he's been holding daily review sessions that keep him at the school until nine. Nine! He always gives honest feedback on work, and never sugar coats it, and is always able to keep the class engaged. I don't believe I've ever met someone with a greater integrity, and I've definitely never had a teacher with a greater dedication to his students. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also goes by the name Kimi no Na wa. It's about two high schoolers on opposite side of Japan who randomly start switching bodies one day and that's just the first half. I won't say spoilers, because those types of people are despicable, but there's some major plot twists. And the animation, HOLY COW. I am in awe of this studio it is so beautiful. I'll just put the English dubbed trailer down below: Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left he/him Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 One AP exam down, three to go. I'm feeling pretty good about how Psych went, although I had hoped for a different proportion of certain types of questions in the mcq section. Probably got a pretty strong four or a five on it, but who knows. I'm gonna spend the evening celebrating by playing RPGs and bingeing netflix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take the Psych test, but one of my friends did. Of course, I didn't realize that the test was today, until I saw your post and realized the reason she was studying during band class this morning was because she had to take the AP test later. I don't know how she manages to study and play her bass clarinet at (almost) the same time, without getting caught by the band director. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) One of my coworkers perfectly described those somewhat annoying, definitely impatient people who just dump their stuff and leave without waiting for an employee to help, with this metaphor: "When McDonald's is busy, do you hop the counter and make your own burger, or do you wait for someone to be free to help you?"

Orlion Blight he/him Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Got to get some beauty sleep so I can vote against a school levy tomorrow. They say it's for capital projects such as building maintenance, but if you look at the pages that support it, it's all about building new football stadiums with astroturf. In other words, they are lying about "not wanting to pull money out of the operational budget for use in capital projects" because that is what they are going to do after they send all the levy money for the next few years on sports. Storm them, I won't have any of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sovereign he/him Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I know a lot of ya'll are Utah people and I'd guess some of you are Brigham Young people; The New England Patriots just signed Linebacker Harvey Langi from BYU. Have any of ya'll seen him play? I'm usually pretty good on college football but haven't seen anything about him.

Oversleep Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just finished first season of Samurai Jack. I'm looking forward to starting season 2 tomorrow. I like the art style, I like the minimalism (sometimes few minutes pass when nobody has spoken a word), I like the... style, I guess? With the comic-like splitting the screen? I like how it plays with the tropes and genres - lately there have been two travelers on narrow bridge who can't pass by each other turned buddy cop; mafia/gangsters thing; and the last episode is really meta with telling stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
