Happy Friday! Sorry I haven't been posting as regularly; I've been super busy studying for AP exams. Today I had my very first AP ever: AP English Language and Composition. It was miserable. English is definitely my best/favorite subject, but four straight hours of reading and writing for a grade that determines whether you get college credit is not so fun. I'm pretty sure I passed, but I wish I could have done better. Oh, well, what's done is done. Now I have to worry about the AP U.S. History, which is next Wednesday and it's supposed to be one of the hardest APs!
Anyway, today after school my friend and I were so drained from the test and we decided to reward ourselves by seeing The Great Gatsby, which opened today! We read the novel recently in English, so we were super excited to see the movie. I encourage everyone to see it; it's definitely one of my new favorite movies. DiCaprio has to get his long-awaited Oscar for this one! I feel like the film itself was very innovative in that the image was very clear and sharp, but the best part was the acting. Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire as Daisy and Nick were also great. I want to watch it all over again!
Now, I must return to mindlessly reading AP flashcards...
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
