Took the AP history test today. Totally rocked that bitch...but it got back at me. The headache that resulted from it lasted until 7...hopefully I won't get one quite like this from the upcoming AP English test.

I found out about a national Newsweek essay contest for scholarship money on February 28th that was due the 1st of March. So, always needing money, I decided to enter. I thought up a topic and spent about an hour on the essay and dropped it in the mailbox at precisely 5:31 PM on March 1st. It's cheesy and all-around pretty god-awful ( Read more... )

I was visiting Anne Sullivan's house and her crazy cat decided to take a liking to me. Her mother explained this was because my "girl meter" is high, meaning I am or must be very feminine. This got me to thinking. How feminine am I, really ( Read more... )
