Thursday, May 04, 2006: ΛTΛLNTIS, THE ISLΛND, what’s with all of the lambdas? When will people realise how moronic that looks?

Well, it is now upon us. AP US History test day. That would be part of the reason that I haven't posted in so long. Actually, that's a lie. It's because of the trouble I had posting the review of Όρνιθες. But, at any rate, here I am, about to take a four hour test on my least favourite subject. I feel decently confident, but still, it's rather unnerving.

Especially the essays. Now, I can write a mean essay, but there is the problem of time constraint and legibility. First of all, time. I take a while to write. A long while. I used to have to hand in half-essays on test days. This would be partially due to the second problem: my handwriting. No one likes my script: it confuses, it drives people to the edge, it makes them want to shoot themselves, and it may even have caused some minor wars. It is looping, full of flourishes, and all-in-all 1800’s-ish. Sans neatness. It runs together, it flies wild, it dances across the page—and I mean that in the worst possible way. So, if they can read it, I get it done on time, and I don’t get an essay on labour unions, I should be set.

But, enough about that. There are more important things than AP. I think… All right, I can’t think of anything at the moment, but I’m working on it…
