    hello germs!

    i said i would blog more when i last posted, and it has been a full 3 weeks.

    woopsies.

    i've had a lot of stuff that i wanted to blog about, but doesn't really fit on here, so i've just not been blogging.

    'tis currently may, so ap tests are happening all around. the schedule was completely fucked for like a week cuz of those kids and their silly mcap tests.
    on monday, we had the ap calc exam ~ooooo~.

    they mixed the calc ab and calc bc students together, which was kind of silly. my proctors passed out the test books incorrectly, and then had to shuffle through them to reorganize and pass them out again.
    we weren't even sat in alphabetical order, so i'm not sure why the order they passed them out in mattered so much, or how the college board would know?

    anyways, mcq non-calculator went fine, then mcq calculator went worse, then i waited kind of awkwardly during the 10 minute break.

    then was the frqs! originally when i did the test, i felt kind of bad about my answers and was worrying that i might not've gotten a 4, which is super important.
    for taking calc 3 next year and getting credit for it, i need to get a 4 on calc bc.

    the calculator section was fine, the non-calculator section was fine, but question 6 was fucking ridiculous. i did that entire thing being confused the entire time, and i felt like i got no points anywhere.

    then, this morning, we talked about the frqs in class, and god damn, i think i won guys.

    first question, most points. second, most points. for all 6 questions, i think i got most of the points, which is really great because i really think i got a 4 (maybe even a 5 but that's a little too hopeful, i'm not that cracked).
    definitely a 3 at least though. i'd actually be shocked if i didn't get a 4.

    then we had the ap world exam on wednesday (tuesday wasn't real), unfortunately it was unbelievably boring.

    the mcqs? 55 questions in 55 minutes, i finished with like 20 minutes remaining and had nothing to do but think, so i thought.

    then there was the 3 short answer questions, which was fine. 40 minutes, i had a bit extra, they were all pretty mid. hypothetically in minecraft, the third saq was about the mongols, which was silly. makes sense obviously.

    got the 10 minute break, one of the proctors yelled at people for talking in the test room, which, why didn't you just say at the start, "hey when the break starts, go out into the hallway if you want to talk."
    bro didn't say anything other than the default instructions, so obviously people were confused.

    also HWSNBN was there proctoring along with a bunch of much cooler teachers, ranging from Davidson to Warrilow to Garman to Grava. but yeah, with HWSNBN, he was yelling at people originally before the test that they needed to shut up and that testing had started, so everyone should be silent.

    dog, what?
    testing doesn't start until it does, what do you mean?
    i get what he was trying to say, 180 people talking all at once is really loud, but don't be a dick about it.

    then later, during the break, he was yelling at people and being like, "i'm gonna get all your scores canceled if you keep talking >:("

    lol, great way to catapult yourself from extremely disliked by a lot of people to hated by almost everyone. i don't understand how people like him.

    we were getting near to the end of the break time, and then he saw us standing at the end of the hall and was like "of course it's you all" so we immediately dipped back into the gym to avoid him.

    at least, the dbq and the leq! i got what i wanted, which was to talk about the french revolution in a response, but i don't think my leq was too good. my dbq was phenomenal, i used every single piece of evidence given, i analyzed them all to a degree, i talked about the point of views on like 5 of the evidences, and then i used outside evidence. my outside evidence made no sense, but it was external and slightly relevant, so wii ball.

    honestly, the world exam was pretty mid. life was pretty boring afterwards, but i started messing around with obsidian, the silly notes program that tar uses all the time for literally everything.
    i really like using it, so i've been moving all of my blog posts over to it so i have a backup (good for when i website it too), and am even gonna write some fake blog posts (wow).

    i also didn't post for a while, so i get to put the fun news here now, but i'm officially a man B).
    been on T for approximately 7 and a half days, and i did my hrt injection slightly wrong yesterday evening. but it's probably fine.

    while i was moving all the posts to obsidian yesterday, i also wrote about 4500 words for a post, which is more than twice as many as any previous blog post i've written. if you consider packets and parcels to be one post, that was 14000 characters.

    the only issue that has arisen is that i can't easily sync my files between my two computers and phone, since syncthing doesn't really exist for apple devices (i fucking hate apple) and also it was really confusing so i gave up.

    other developments, i am doing my driver's ed class right now, which has had its ups and downs. the first couple days that i did it, i really hated it, since it's stupid and a waste of time. yesterday, since i was so focused on using obsidian, i looked like i was paying attention really well so i didn't get called out by her, and i was participating a good bit.

    unfortunately, i did get deadnamed like 7 times by her between monday and tuesday's class, but she's corrected it so now i won't have to be sad and hate myself ;).

    i also got a new bank account on tuesday, which constituted the banker deadnaming me at least 2 dozen times, so ew. she was nice though.

    i'm gonna go ahead and call it here, and i'll just end up making a second blog post for today about the other stuff i wanna talk about, so...

    cheers
