I used Light in August on my AP English exam. I don't remember what I wrote but I remember being excited to use it because we'd read the HELL out of that book. And I loved it. And I remember taking the test in our auditorium with the huge old clanky radiators.

Good luck tomorrow, Kat!!!

I don't remember my AP English exam, but I do remember my AP Spanish Lit one--just because I'd had mono, and read a couple of the last few stories for Spanish class in English translation...and then wanted to use one of them for my example on the test, only realized that I wasn't sure what the character's name was in Spanish!! (It was "Big Momma" in English, so it could've been a few things) I figured if i messed that up, it'd be obvious I didn't read it in Spanish, but I couldn't think of any other examples. I dont' remember what I did, though.

I have my new computer set up! Finally. Ugh. Now I have to go to bed, and apparently spend the whole weekend getting it to work like I want it to.

double posting and all...

I wish I could have taken AP Spanish Lit. I would have rocked that. I did regular AP Spanish and, due to fucking around the whole year in class, did verrrry poorly.

Our senior year French was supposed to be lit instead of grammar, but our teacher was a completely burned out ex-hippie. Nicest guy ever, but couldn't be bothered with anything. We were supposed to read Les Miserables, and I think maybe one person did. On the quizzes, our teacher accepted grammatically correct sentences even if they didn't answer the question, so you could reply, "The dog turned left," in French and get credit for it, even if the question was, "How did Eponine die?"

I cut that class all the time. Mr. Judd used to flag me down in the hall and let me know if there was a test I couldn't miss.

so you could reply, "The dog turned left," in French and get credit for it, even if the question was, "How did Eponine die?"

Well, maybe the dog cut in front of her.

Snerk.

Poor Mr. Judd. He died of a brain tumor a couple years after I graduated.

I figured if i messed that up, it'd be obvious I didn't read it in Spanish, but I couldn't think of any other examples.

I'm terrible at names in all circumstances, both in person and in books in English. I've written a number of essay questions full of sentences like "Then Johnson's sister and her husband met with her friend from college and her other friend with red hair..."
