Ok AP calc BC a day late

AP calc BC- EZ! Sorta… ok so I did pretty good on MCQ but I ran out of time, there wasn’t much on polar curves (ABSOLUTE W) so that was good. And the FRQs were pretty good but I kinda struggle w FTC and then question 6 kinda killed me I didn’t finish it </3 so I think I did ok overall but not my best work

Guys…. Predicted exam scores time </333so I’m doing this before and then after the exams and gov is tmm….

AP us gov- ok so I took this class over the summer and into the start of the year so I don’t remember too much on the writing so I’m kinda cooked? But also I hear it’s REALLY easy and I’ve done so much review and heimler so maybe I’ll be ok. Idk the amendments that well 😭 but ik the cases so I’m thinking a 4. If I REALLY lock in maybe a 5🤞🤞🤞 but I hate saying that 😭

AP Micro economics- ok so this class is so hard to me bc I just hate paying attention 😭 also I finished it like January so I don’t remember much writing wise, but all my friends were still in it and I helped them a lot so I kinda know it. The graphs I think I can do, so?? 4??? But like give or take a score point, like maybe a 3 or 5 😭 that’s such a margin tho

AP stats- this class…… I did not pay attention all year….. kinda cooked but I did a really good review, so maybe a 4? If they ask me how to find outliers I’m good 😎

AP lit- ok I think a 4 MAYBE a 5 but only if the multiple choice questions are easy and so is the poem question. I love writing but I HATE analyzing poems bc I never get it 🥲

AP computer sci A- … 3 but if the stars align and the MCQ is easy 4… the FRQs are so easy at least

AP calc BC- ok so I love this class and if I don’t get a 5 I will be devastated BUT I HATE POLAR CURVES AND UNIT 10😭😭 so maybe a 4 🥲 if the unit 9 FRQ is parametric or only one polar I can do it I think

AP research honorary- 4! I liked my paper but I just hope they do too. My teacher LOVED my presentation so I’m not worried on that

SO MUCH BETTER TODAY!!!! Reflections for lit and comp sci a now

AP lit- ok so this one was SO GOOD OMG!!!! The MCQ was amazing, essay 1 I ATE UP!!!! Idk why I went off on that one so hard, essay 2 was ok I didn’t really get it get it but I’m sure I did fine, and essay 3 was GOATED! So for essay 3 I think I got too excited and did too much summery but ok. But also I think I messed up on some of the poem MCQs 🥲

AP computer sci A- EZ!!!!!!! Well sorta I ran out of time :(( I was like “man I got so much time” so I took forever and ran out 😭 but the FRQs (except FRQ 3…) were so good! I was sorta messed up on bits of 2 and 4 but I think it went alright!

Only one to go

Ok…….. um………. AP micro and stats were NOT it for me 😭 and online everyone is saying they were so easy and my brother is like sure he got a 5 on stats 😭😭

So for AP micro: so the MCQ was really devastating and I didn’t get to finish which was heartbreaking honestly but I got to fill an answer in at least. The FRQs were perfect though so love and peace 😭 tho I had 10 mins to do the third one and I mixed up a formula on part one

AP stats:.. I don’t even wanna talk abt it 😭 SO BAD😭 MCQ killed me and I almost ran out of time and had to guess on a lot BUT I think I got at least a 50% so I still think I passed. And the FRQs were really nice to me EXECPT idk which test does what 🥲 so I missed those ones. The big question was easy and amazing at least

Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!

Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!

Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.

You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.

"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)

Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.

As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)

A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.

Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

[poisons-productivity-palace]

happy AP season everyone! please remember to hydrate and take care of yourself and if you’re taking any AP exams, it’s okay to not get a perfect score, standardized tests are incredibly stressful and not a great measure of success in the first place, and i’m so proud of you no matter what score you get or how many questions you answer correctly.

[poisons-productivity-palace]

Ap calc wasn’t bad actually! I think I did good!

[poisons-productivity-palace]

Guess who got sick and threw up during the apush exam ;-; I took two mocks and got two 5s if I don’t get a 5 bc I was sick ima cry TwT
