So I have my AP US History midterm tomorrow. I was going through my notes last night and came across a variety of phrases I had forgotten about:

• "And what happened in 1688?"

"The successful conquest of England by the Dutch."

The Lobsters are coming!"I've stumbled upon a metaphor!"the Grand Duchy of Rhode Island"I feel like a part of any history class is missing if you don't talk about the French Revolution.""Anyone have a question?"

"... When do the bagels arrive?"

Somewhat ironic and annoying is that the exam is at 12:45, so I get to watch Obama be sworn in but probably won't be able to hear his full inaugural address live... I'm hoping I get to school early enough to watch most of the pre-swearing-in festivities in the auditorium. In other words, I get to watch history happen and then take an exam about history! What fun!

 

(other things that have happened in the past few days: I stood outside in 10º weather for fifteen minutes without a coat; developed an annoying but fortunately not awful cold as a result, which I still have; I feverishly worked on the yearbook until I had come up with all 36 pages we needed for the deadline two weeks ago; panicked about my Greek and Calc BC exams; and had an application interview with Brown.)

 

By the way: there are 165 forms of every Greek verb I need to know for Thursday. Someone please save me.

 

Now, a parting quote:

 

Henry: "I killed them all so I could be with you."

Me: "I'm not sure if that's romantic or terrifying."

Henry: "Terrifyingly romantic."
