Zion’s AP Blog

 It is almost that time! The AP exam is near! I am somewhat nervous and looking forward to it. I just need a little more practice on my rhetorical analysis. Today was chill and tiring. I'm excited for the weekend because my birthday is next week! When I get my performance results back, I'm going to try and improve my writing.

  Yesterday we took the mock exam. At first, I didn't want to do it because I didn't think I needed to, but as I was taking it, my mind changed. I needed to take it to see how it would feel to take the real exam. Although I didn't get to finish one of my three essays, I believe I am better prepared to take the real-deal. I didn't think I would do well, but I exceeded my expectations!

  Today started off very drowsy. I almost fell asleep in all of my classes. I forgot we had to do our Rhetorical Analysis essay today, so it was a bit of a schock. Fortunately, Mr.Rease said I did well, which was good. I just need to work on a few things. This week has been draining, and working the whole weekend is not going to make it any better.

  Today we did our first in-class full synthesis essay. I thought it was going to be challenging, but it turned out to go well. I started off my planning with an old-fashioned bubble map. I was shocked that I was able to finish before time was up. I believe that I am ready for the AP exam. The topic was really interesting, causing me to go home and do my own research. Hopefully we could lower our mear-consumptions.

 I had a dream that by the time the AP exam comes, I would not be prepared. I doubted myself and didn't think I would pass. After today's class, I have a new attitude. Going through the notes, I learned what a Rhetorical Analysis is and what to look for. Today was chill, I was just tired per usual.
