So, I was wrong. I, in fact, got a piece of crap 3 on the practice AP. This is sending me through all kinds of whirls of self-doubt and re-evaluation about everything. I honestly thought I did well, and although it’s pretty much guaranteed I’ll get a 4 on the AP, I don’t find that acceptable. At all. I want a 5. I just don’t see any other option. Nonetheless, I’m really disappointed with this.
I’m struggling to find the line between “I’m just not putting enough effort into this.” and “This isn’t what I’m meant to do.”. On an unrelated note, I dislike how punctuation comes out when quotations are involved.
