<p>@CE527M That would be Irish. We’re the “och aye the noo” folks. (Though that literally translates as “oh yes at the moment” which makes even less sense.)</p>
<p>I’ve learnt to distinguish southern USA accents by the fact they’re the stereotypical American, though I get what you mean.</p>
<p>@CE527M Lololol, you are one of the few who knows what they’re doing…everybody I know who takes AP classes believes all those misconceptions that I talked about. So good for you–you have a real reason to be doing what you’re doing and I support it. :)</p>
<p>But about the College Board: I think we all know how evil they are. But we have to take the SAT, so that’s that. My point was just that I don’t like supporting them beyond what’s necessary to get into college (and AP certainly isn’t necessary, as my school doesn’t offer them but I take the most challenging course load).</p>
<p>Lol I know, at school it’s like:</p>
<p>People who take AP to make them look good and then there’s me who actually takes the classes because I like it.</p>
<p>@purmou From an international perspective, the College Board are slightly scary. I’m sort of dreading having to take the SAT, as I won’t be able to rely on large numbers of free past papers (I’m certainly not spending even more money to buy practise tests). I’m pretty glad the exam system here is government run.</p>
<p>@almostanonymous I’m taking triple science, double English, maths, Spanish, Classical civ, history and textiles. Tomorrow I have exams in all three sciences and history paper 1. Going to start revising soon…
Not really a fan of Scottish accent myself. Irish on the other hand…</p>
<p>Finally found a clip: [Killing</a> Bono Clip featuring Ben Barnes and Martin McCann - YouTube](<a href=“Killing Bono Clip featuring Ben Barnes and Martin McCann - YouTube”>Killing Bono Clip featuring Ben Barnes and Martin McCann - YouTube) my favourite actor (the one wearing a scarf) with my favourite accent :D</p>
<p>Top O’ the marnin’ to ya!!!</p>
<p>I’ve never been to Ireland. My mum won’t let me hitchhike and there’s no way I can afford it otherwise. Slightly annoying as she spent the summer after sophomore year hitching rounf Ireland and she always talks about how amazing it was…</p>
<p>^lol hitchhiking? In this day and age? ha you’ve got a great mom, seriously.</p>
<p>She says she’ll let me do it after I finish school, in my gap year, but not in the UK. Apparently continental Europe is much better for it.</p>
<p>It’s no more dangerous than it was, people are just more paranoid now.</p>
<p>I always wanted to live in Switzerland, not a long, just like a semester in college or something.</p>
<p>^ What’s so interesting about Switzerland?</p>
<p>Out of interest, is anyone here into poetry?</p>

<p>I spent 3 weeks in Ireland and 2 Weeks in UK</p>
<p>@UKgirl: priceless. 
I’m seriously going to bookmark those links now. </p>
<p>@kyp: One of my best friends is Irish-I would love to be able to go to Ireland and the UK! :)</p>
<p>So, my US History final is tomorrow, and I haven’t studied at all 
oh well…it’s only worth 10% of my grade so whatever…</p>
<p>So my school district is cheap and won’t even send out report cards anymore. They have them online, though. Anyone else in that situation?
Our report cards for first semester come out on Friday…when do you guys get yours?</p>
<p>Ours come out…around the 20-something or so.</p>
<p>U.S. History:</p>
<p>16th president: Lincoln</p>
<p>December 7th, 1941: Pearl Harbor</p>
<p>Why is April arguably the most important month in history? Start and end of Civil War (in their respective years of course), Lincoln died, Titanic sailed and sank (sank the same day as Lincoln died, not the same year), Booker T. Washington was born, Sandra Day O’Connor became first woman to preside over Supreme Court, Martin Luther King Jr. died, Bataan Death March of American POWs, Apollo 13, Oklahoma City bombings, Charlie Chaplin was born, Shakespeare was born, Columbine shootings, Virginia Tech shootings, President Madison was born, and George Washington became the first president, among other important things. </p>
<p>Courtesy of: my brain :)</p>
<p>My school has our grades online, it’s called SIS. </p>
<p>My birthdays in April, as well, just in case your APUSH class forgot that. Lol</p>
<p>@CE: 
Thank you!! We’ve only finished up to the Imperialist movement, though-we’re starting with WWI on Tuesday, since I’m not in APUSH. 
I doubt IB would have let me take that instead of its oh-so-special MYP (pre-IB) course…</p>
<p>@fostej: See, not even AP courses are infallible. That’s cool! ;)</p>
<p>@Elven…you’re welcome! So (excuse my almost-barren knowledge regarding IB, my school just has AP) with IB…how exactly does it work? What are classes like?</p>
<p>@fostej…oh, that’s from my personal knowledge, not from history class (I came up with the whole spiel about April being the most [historically] important month on my own). I’m taking AP World this year, APUSH next year, darn it, not yet.</p>
<p>Very impressed, I don’t really like history, but I do like Napoleon and Alexander the G, but that’s all really.</p>
