Ugh.  That reminds me, I've got the AP Physics C exam tomorrow.  Shouldn't
be incredibly difficult, but I'm still stressed out about it.  Which is
bad...don't want to psyche myself out.

I didn't really mind the SATs...they're sort of pleasant, actually.  What I
really hate about them is that they take place at an ungodly hour of the
morning on Saturday.  It's like the College Board people sat around and
tried to think of the time when everyone taking them would be the most
exhausted, groggy, and sick of thinking all week.

The only downside to the AP classes is that alot of the upper-ranked schools
are deciding not to accept them as credit. *growls*  Although I think my
English Composition exam is going to get me out of a required Writing credit
next year. *crosses fingers*

> Did I miss anything?

Well, a lot of states have their own little achievement tests that they give
to certain classes (usually juniors)..but they're more to rank the school,
rather than the individual student.

Mmmmmm...quite good, indeed.
