So, I found this in one of the gift shops, and, of course, I just had to buy it:
One of the most magical things I found in Disney wasn't the Castle at Magic Kingdom nor was it all of the awesome roller coasters and it wasn't even just having a great time with my friends and family. No, seeing all of the Red Sox hats and shirts everywhere was probably the most delightful part of the trip. Seriously, Rex Sox fans were everywhere. If you turned around 360°, you would see at least one person wearing some type of Red Sox apparel. Maybe this doesn't seem weird for some of you (especially those who live in New England), but it was unlike anything else for me. The Yankee fans from my school didn't like this one bit (because, for once, they were the minority), but I absolutely loved being able to see how big Red Sox Nation really is.
Now, I move from one of the most relaxing weeks of my life to one of the most stressful, all thanks to AP Exams. I'll try to explain this without being too confusing: AP stands for 'Advanced Placement', which means it's similar to a college-level class. In May, you can take an AP Exam (for $80), and if you score well (1 is the worst; 5 is the best) you can get college credit that you can use to skip a pre-requisite of a class or a class altogether when you get to college.
I'm taking AP English, US History, and European History this year. Because whoever made the schedule obviously hates me, I have both my US and Euro History exams on Friday. Each exam lasts a few hours (with 80 multiple choice questions and three essays EACH), so I won't even get to eat lunch between tests (unless I sneak in a snack while switching rooms).
If I live past Friday, I'm taking my English exam next Wednesday. This test is one that you can't study for at all, and the multiple choice part is kind of like the reading sections on the SAT/ACT, except about a billion times harder, and there's also three essays for this one.
So, if I'm not around commenting or posting in the near future, that means:
a) I'm studying for an AP Exam
b) I'm catching up on sleep from Disney
c) I died or my hand fell off while taking an AP Exam
I'm trying to prevent the last one, but I'm not sure if I'll be that lucky...

Cute Mickey pin, and glad to hear that you had fun and were surrounded by Red Sox fans even though far away from Boston!
Best of luck with all of your exams.
Welcome back! Red Sox Nation is very extensive, isn't it?
Good luck on the AP's - very important tests - can make your life easier if you do well. Go for it!
Great pic, and welcome home! I guarantee your hand will NOT fall off, and I'm happy you had a great time down in Florida. It's raining where you are on this Friday morning (just my guess), but it's great to see a new Brittany post. The Sox have been doing great. GOOD LUCK! I know you can do it! PN
Thanks!
As you can tell by my ability to typing this, I survived the first day of testing (with SIX essays!) without my hand falling off!
Yep, it's raining here (and that makes it the perfect weather to take a test in!).
I'm upset that I had to miss Beckett last night, but Sunday and Monday's games are on ESPN, so I'm really looking forward to that!
Oops, I meant "my ability to type this". I'm glad I had better grammar than that on my essays!
=D
For some reason, I understand everything that you type. Good luck!!
