APS ARE DONE!!!! *does cartwheels and dances and other crazy stuff* I am so fuckin relieved. It is OVER. OVER I TELL YOU. Today was SUCH a laid back day, we watched a French movie in French (which I will talk about a little bit in a moment, SO FUNNY), just talked about random stuff in English, and there were only two people in Calc because of another AP exam. I have very very little homework this weekend, thus letting me watch the four hour HP CoS with GOBLET OF FIRE FOOTAGE tomorrow night! WHEE. (Well there is that pesky issue of a term paper but... we won't talk about that.)

The exams themselves were... fine, I guess. Calculus was exactly as expected, tough but completely doable, and I'm confident I did well. English was a little bit tougher than I thought, due to some rather puzzling multiple choice passages, but I also think I did well on that one... I liked the essays quite a bit, so that was good. Now French on the other hand... sucked MAJORLY, especially as I had JUST finished the English exam (six hours straight of testing? I don't recommend it). The essays were impossible simply because I am hopeless at French, and the multiple choice was *hard*. I hope I scrape a 3 (pass) out of that, so I can get out of my language requirement in college.

I got a letter from the National Merit Scholarship people (I'm a Finalist) letting me know that I didn't win the scholarship. Phooey. But in a sense I did win because my Finalist standing got me an extra $5500 a year in scholarship money to F&M. So all is good.

Okay so the French movie! It's called "Small Change" (no idea why the title is English when the movie is French... whatever). Basically it's about all these kids in a French village. I've only seen half the movie, so I'm not quite sure what the plot is exactly, but so far it's been a collage of highly amusing incidents with these kids. Two were particularly hilarious. In the first, there was this three year old kid (SO CUTE. what a pretty kid) at home with his mom. She thought she had lost her wallet so she went downstairs to find it (their apartment is on about the sixth floor). While she was gone the kid found their cat and picked it up and was generally being adorable. He placed it on a chair next to an open window. Bad move, kid! So the cat started to climb out of the window, and Gregory (the boy's name, obviously) tried to stop it, pulling at it and talking in his adorable little voice. But the cat got out of the window, and Gregory climbed up on the chair to try to get it. The cat climbed over the railing on the small ledge outside the window, and fell down to another ledge a few feet below. So of course the kid proceeds to climb OVER the railing (six floors up!!) and everyone in the class is freaking out. I was actually clutching my friend's hand in fright. We thought he just couldn't fall! But he just kept going over the railing... and he FALLS. Just like that. And he flips through the air (totally fake, a doll thrown out a window, haha) and lands, PLOP, right next to a bush (sorta slid down the side of it) and into the grass! And he's laughing! People nearby (who were staring at him climbing over the railing, never mind rushing upstairs to STOP him) rush over to him and he's giggling and he says "Gregory, il a fait BOOM!" ("Gregory, he went BOOM!") Soso adorable and hilarious and I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK. Omg what a random movie.

And another excerpt... this little girl (creepy, weird, and a terrible little actress) was going to go out to dinner with her parents. She wanted to bring this dirty old little handbag, but her parents wouldn't let her. They said either you leave it here or you're not coming. So she says she's not coming. And they leave. (This girl is about 7! Seriously these French people don't take very good care of their kids. Earlier a 6 year old walked Gregory home by himself!) So immediately the girl starts acting weirdly, she goes and locks the deadbolt and drops the key in her fish tank. We're all like "wtf?". Then she takes out her dad's megaphone (he's a police chief. And this is how he takes care of his kid!!) and takes it over to the window, turns it on, and starts saying, over and over, "J'ai faim. J'ai faim. J'ai faim" ("I'm hungry") in this weird automatic voice. People start popping their heads out of nearby windows (it's a building kind of in a U shape, her window is on the inside of the U) and asking her questions, and she says her parents left and locked her in! Lying little bitch! Haha. So anyway the other people start freaking out like the kid is starving to death or something, and they put together a HUGE basket of food (baguette, roast chicken, the works) and set up an elaborate pulley system to get it over to her. She receives it, says thank you, and goes back inside, sits down and looks at what they gave her. And she says in this FREAKY, psychotic voice "Ils m'ont regardee. Ils m'ont regardee" (They looked at me. They looked at me.) How disturbed is this child!??!?! It was VERY STRANGE, but very amusing as well. Oh my, such quality.

In other news... I've been watching more Alias and I still love it. Syd/Vaughn??? AWWWWW. More on that later, probably.

Wow, this was probably my longest post ever! Hope you weren't bored!! ♥
