APUSH stuyding...aka crammin

sooo.... this week will be ALL about APUSH. b/c

  1. thursday i left my txt book @ skool. so i couldn't read chapter 42. so i coursnoted it.
  2. so i read chapter 42 today. saturday.
  3. i need to move onto chapter 43. and FINISH it b/c...on 4/19 i need to study for the mock exam.
  4. so... 4/18 (2morrow) i need 2 study 4 the first DBQ part of the mock exam (4/20).... 1550-end of civil war
  5. on 4/22 i don't have skool, so i'll study 4 the multiple choice part of the exam.
  6. i need to do the 70s RRJ!! due ON 4/19!! so cruel!! searcy still gave us hmwk when she KNEW we had to cram and study 4 the exam... !! (TT_TT)
ADGENDA......................
4/20: 1st day of mock exam/ AP registration/ chem make up!!/ RRJ due!!
4/23: 2nd day of mock exam
5/7: (two weeks later) REAL AP exam

I herd from my friends JUST NOW that apparently, the Kaplan & Princeton AP Prep Books are the best. when i've been using the Fast Track To a 5 prep book for 3 weeks already. nice. the reason why i chose it was b/c it was the newest one...@ my skool library (2009) (the librarian was like, "We just got this yesterday!") it had quizes on the end of every chapter, it was compatible w/ American Pagent (the 14/15 edition, and i was using the 11th edition, so it's a bit off, but still compatible....)

but the stupid thing w/ it is that it's due in 2 weeks, and non-renewable. i checked it out 5 weeks before the real AP exam. but the librarian was kind enough to extend it 4 one week... still, it's not enough... 10 cents/day... (TT_TT) i'll just have to give them up, or find a new one from my local library... which i hope is well stocked...

last time for mid-terms no one checked out the APUSH prep books, so i hope this time no one checked them out either... as in, "gee, I hope that no local H.S. teaches APUSH...therefore no one would check them out".... but no luck... only one copy left... and i'll only get it if no one else checks it out before i do...(TT_TT) misery...

APUSH...

so. as a sophmore, i am able to take APUSH @ NSCPHS, and i sorta like it, sorta dont:
i like it cause i had searcy before. i know how she works.
i don't like it cause it makes me stay up late every time i have it till like 12am. but others have it worse.

we read 1 chapter (20-30 pages) everytime. vocab every time (20-25 words).

we move like 3x as fast as HUSH. so much faster. so much.

but the thing i don't like about searcy is that she makes mistakes on her worksheets/handouts, and she will never correct them. same thing last year. its cause she uses the same exact stuff every friggin year.

and she doesn't let us keep the test to study off of, which the juniors told me she used to do.

and her vocab is never in order. what friggin order is it in lady??? not alphabetical, not chronologically, so much more work! cause then i don't kno if i missed a word or not.
