Oh wow o_o wtf is wrong with me, I have it tomorrow 5/8/09 haha
Uhh right now my brain is fried

Let's see...
-DBQ - okay, if it's on post Civil War issues like Reconstruction, Urbanization, Industrialization I have a good shot of making a good one. Early colonial time period? SCREW THAT I'M DEAD.
-Essays - Hopefully there's something on the Korean/Vietnam war or something, but I'm not sure 'cause the DBQ last year was on Vietnam ._. I'm praying there's nothing on colonies here and around the antebellum period, either.
-I hate everything before the Civil War. UGHH. WWII onwards seems pretty good, though.
-Strong points: WWII (not domestic policies though, which suckssss), Cold War, War of 1812, Civil War, damn I guess most of the wars, and around the 1870s-1900s, JFK to Jimmy Carter
-Weak points: colonies I HATE YOU, Jacksonian Democracy, Antebellum South, FDR's New Deals (can't remember which is which), late Cold War around the Middle East, and the Gilded Age presidents (general social and economic stuff's fine with me, though)

So my goal is to get about a 66+% on the MC. It's graded on one hell of a curve (66% + good dbq + good essays = 5! yay). I've been getting scores around this range and above so I thhiiink I have a decent shot at the MC. There's 80 questions in 55 minutes so eh... I think the SAT IIs was along the same lines. I had a little bit of extra time so hopefully it'll turn out the same way but much better.

If there's a God out there, pleaseeee let the DBQ be on the Urbanization/Industrialization/Gilded Age crap T_T. Or maybe War of 1812, that's not too bad either.

Sorry for the rantage, I kinda needed that :D Back to studying!

Done with the AP exam.

Holy fuck. We took the 2007 DBQ on slavery b/w 1775 to 1830. Grr.

Yeaaah, no way I'm getting a 5 on that. >=[

I would have rocked that essay!

@Jackson/ToT
Yeah, fuck Jackson... my ancestors were forcefully relocated to Oklahoma during the Indian Removal. We're Chickasaw, so we were like the first tribe to do so. We have an antique cook pot that was actually issued to the family by the US government (I always explain to people that it came along the Trail of Tears so they'll understand what I'm talking about, even though technically the ToT was like 3 years later with the Cherokees) Anyway, reading about it is just infuriating, especially knowing that the land in Oklahoma promised to them "For ever and ever" would be taken away just two generations later... >__< Ironically, by my fiance's people! My family, we have our cook pot. His family, they have a land-run flag!

I was up until 4am finishing my paper. Ended up being 23 pages, plus a 2-page bibliography. AHAHAHA DONE!

Now I get to enjoy my week of vacation before summer school starts ^__^;;
