Yeah, Mr. Cooper made us use that! And then he would read off the percentage of plagiarism in each of our papers. We made a game out of it and waited to see who would have the most original/unoriginal paper. I remember my Scarlet Letter essay containing 2% plagiarised material XDDD

It was one of my favorites that we read that year (but I think I was the only one who really liked it, besides my teacher! XD). In fact, now that the AP test is done and over with, I'm playing Hester Prynne in the parody that my class is filming >w< Which reminds me that I still have to see the live action Zelda movie :'D

The main characters (Hester, Raskolnikov, Heathcliff, Hamlet, and Jane [Eyre]) have to find the human condition for a project that their Practical English teacher, Shakespeare, has assigned them. We travel to places like Starbucks, Wal-Mart, and Eckered to ask people what they think it is (though we're going to have to use a green screen for some of those places XD). Along the way, we run into characters like Willy Loman, Myrtle, John Donne, Robert Frost, and more. Every second contains some sort of inside joke, be it an allusion to something literary or something silly from class XD (MOT JUSTE, MOT JUSTE! xDDDD)
Oh, and I'm a senior in high school ^^ And The Scarlet Letter is, in a nutshell, about a woman who commits adultry, how she deals with the punishment bestowed upon her, and how the other characters react to her "crime."

Yup! >w< I was so happy when the college admissions process was over I could've cried, it was so stressful! ;; But I still have to take some placement tests this weekend, so it's not over just yet ^^;
Good luck with the government course! I had to take AP Government last semester with a really boring teacher! It was painful! x_x

Hah fun AP Government, there was some crazy lady teaching it in our high school so I didn't take it. I remember being an office aide and tons of people checked out of her class, she made me stay for a class period to see what I am taking students out of stare How was your AP test for Government? Did you take AP Economics as well? I took Government I two semesters ago and aced it with an A of course. What colleges did you apply to?

I had a crazy math teacher once. She yelled at us for not knowing the answer. If you even whisper she also yells at you.
I'm not that great in math its really hard for me and with her my hate for math deepened. She showed us all once of how to do something the most complicated way and said Start. Almost all of our work was like 40 questions.
Ugh...7 grade was the worst year of my life. I hope something like this wont repeat.

I applied to Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, and McDaniel. I'm a very shy person, so in retrospect I should've chosen a big college to draw me out of my shell. But it's too late now, and I probably couldn't have afford any college besides the one I'll be attending.
Oh, and I actually didn't take the AP test for that class. I just took the class because I knew it would look good on my resume. I have no interest in government whatsoever, so everything I learned in that class pretty much went in one ear and out the other. It was funny, though, because when Mr. Shue was going down the class roster and asking each student whether they were going to take the test, he didn't react when some of the smarter kids said no, but when I said no he was like, "'No'!? O_O" Everyone turned around and stared at me; it was so embarrassing! XDDD I have even less interest in economics; I'd probably slit my wrists if I was stuck in a class like that! X3
I remember 7th grade math! XD But I wasn't in the top class back then, so I wasn't taking pre-algebra at that point. I have always detested math; luckily, very few of my math teachers have been terrible. A lot of them have been very good, actually, and I'm VERY grateful for that 8-8

Ah I haven't heard of any of those schools but hey good luck! You will be going in the fall right? I don't know if a big college would make someone shy unshy(if there is such a word XD) I dunno, I think all colleges are party schools so maybe you will get more social anyway? I dunno I am not very social myself, but I am not a loner either, I am kinda just eh *shrugs*.
Awww you should have taken the AP exam, you might as well there is no reason not to. You get a chance to not have to pay for a class in college. I have no interest in government or economics either. I hated that damn macroeconomics class stressed
I haven't taken a math class since junior year of high school, so what that has been two years now? Yep. I plan to take one in the fall though. 3nodding
