Awesome, I'm 3 years away, though the school that I'm at has a reputation of making classes harder to take, the closest you get to graduation...fun. Good for you, though!!

"Is anyone else finishing school?  Anyone even not finishing school but just looking forward to the end of the year/Harry?"

I have survived my Freshmen year of college. That's all I have to say about that.

Uhh, the SATs. Or the ELM or EPT. ELM is the entry-level math exam. It's if you don't get a high enough score on the math portion of your SAT. SAT is this really long ridiculous test that you you sometimes have to take to get into college, though I've heard talk of getting rid of it. EPT is the English/Grammar test that you have to take if you don't get a high enough score on the English/Grammar portion of the SAT. Never took that. Took the math one, though. 

And the AP classes. You can take an Advanced Placement Class, then take a test at the end of the year, and when you get to college, you don't have to take the equivalent of the class you took. For instance, I took an Literature/Grammar test, and I didn't have to take an English class at college because I passed the test.

Did I miss anything?

"p.s What are s'mores? They were mentioned in a TBAY post ages ago, by Derannimer, I think, and I meant to ask then but I forgot."

S'mores accompany campfires or beach bonfires. They are composed of graham crackers, topped with a piece of chocalate and a roasted marshmallow. They're quite good.
