I just found out that there are certain varieties of palm trees which grow in many places in Scandinavia?? Reynir might fulfil his dream of seeing a palm tree after all. link

There are palm trees in London, in the Midlands, and I believe on the northern coast of Scotland.

...I just realized it's Friday and I have an archery competition tomorrow. I thought I still had another day.  O_O

So yeah if anyone sees that I'm online past like, midnight please yell at me. I have to be up at 5am tomorrow and it'd be nice if I wasn't exhausted through the whole thing.

Are you thinking of the Inverewe Gardens? I went there with the family as a kid, but found it rather boring as I was not into plants :D

Oooh good luck! I took two APs. Try not to panic and know that if it doesn't go well, it won't ruin your chances of accomplishing things in the future. I promise.

Thank you! I took one last year that went surprisingly well, but I'm taking three more this year and keep feeling like last year was a fluke. :P At least with Chemistry, which I'm taking tomorrow, even if you get half of the multiple choice wrong you can still get a 5 (which says something about their testing skills).

For those who don't know, an AP exam is scored between 1 and 5, with 5 being the top score. You have to get a 3 or higher to receive college credit, but some colleges only except a 4 or 5 for credit.

Good luck! I've got one this Friday, and I'm not even caught up in the class. :P

Same to you!

Which test are you taking? How much more do you have to go?

Good luck, Auxivele and Jhev. I've taken waaay more than my fair share of those tests, so I feel for you. They can be really stressful, but like Viola said, they're not as crucial as they might seem right now. I'll be rooting for you!

AP US History. My least favorite variety of history just because of how many times I've taken some variation of it. I have about 20-ish lessons left, most of them are just required reading but I have 2 essays and 2 DBQ's left, along with a few short answer questions and 3 tests. I have a schedule of what I need to do what day, but the last day has a whole lot of stuff crammed in it and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it all done. This is coincidentally why I have been writing essays at the speed of light and telling everyone about it in the LMoH thread as motivation.

All I'm shooting for is a 3. If I can at least get the credit for the class I will never have to look at American History again, please and thank you (Also thanks Ana and Roisin!).

Oh, how I envy you right now.

So apparently I messed up my lesson schedule. Since I don't have a real planner I had to write the dates down in a notebook and I put an extra day in April, so now I'm behind. Wheee
