i really didn’t prep as much as I should have…I was too busy with other stuff to start reviewing lines in details two weeks before, as I should have done.

however, my teacher IS an excellent teacher, and she makes the Latin quite clear, almost to the point of memorization. which is a bad thing.

i went over books 6 10 12 and 2 the first half of the week (and 12 again right before the test, because my Latin teacher guessed (correctly!) that 12 would be on it) and then I thought to myself “i’ll go over 1 and 4 the night before the exam!” forgetting that 1 and 4 comprised 1000 lines!!! hence to say, I went through it very very quickly. thank god our literal translations were 2 and 12, and that the stuff from 1 and 4 was either MC or essays or really really memorable (case in point- the “O Socii” passage- one of my favorites)

then in physics that morning (in which we’re watching Killler Klowns from OUter Space since the AP is done) I just reviewed the Sparknotes of the Stuff that we didn’t read in trans.

fun stuff

edit: and the minute I saw Laocoon on the FR, i started laughing because I am a Laocoon master!!! bring on those twin snakes from Tenedos!!!

its been 48 hrs, so we can talk about FR, right?
