Conversation Changer #22 : AP Tests

This post is to see whether people even read this blog anymore. Jarrah votes no. Fred votes... Fred doesn't even read this blog anymore. Jarrah is just super bored now that the AP test is over. 
 
Prepare: Take an AP test. Or don't. You can always pretend you took one. Just make sure to do all the proper research beforehand.

What to do: When the conversation is going awry (yes, Jarrah did learn a new word), simply talk about your fear of the upcoming test or your feeling about the test you just took. Works best with someone who has never taken an AP test before.

Example:
Alberto: Hey, Jarrah? How are you? I haven't seen you in forever. Have you solved your procrastination problem yet?
Jarrah: Problem? What problem? And you saw me yesterday!
Alberto: You don't have to hide it. I know you have problems with procrastination. It's okay. If we just talk about it, we can solve it. That's all there is to it.
Jarrah: I really don't want to talk about...
Alberto: Are you procrastinating talking about your procrastinating problem?
Jarrah: Actually,  you know question 37 on my AP Flower Watering test was really easy! I can't believe they asked that. It was the third paragraph on page 177 in our book. But really, I'm just so glad to get it over with. It's like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulder. You know? This feeling... I don't know how to describe it. I feel so free! And...
Alberto: Um. I think I have to go clean my yard now. Maybe we can talk later. Like in 3 months. When you've forgotten all about your AP test.

Conclusion: Well, maybe the result wasn't supposed to be to scare off your friend but you can always ask them to stay.

Warning: Do not bring the topic of AP tests up with other AP testers. You might end up being stuck in an hour long conversation about a test you'd rather forget. (Note: This has never ever happened to Jarrah. Or Fred. Or both at the same time.)

Absence.

We are sorry about our long absence. We apparently did promise to post a few times  a week. But we have lives.

What?

We do.

To apologize for our absence, we made some new tabs. Click on them above.

Hopefully, we will write more CCs. Maybe, once a week. Month. Year.

To our dear "friends", who keep bothering us to write more. :P

We are busy people.

Here's what we've been doing:
Writing a book.
Working on our consitution.
Trying to earn/gather money for our conquests.
Naming our planet.
Writing a national anthem.
Procrastinating. Er. Working.
Learning new dictator ways.
Looking at scholarships to get into the Official Dictator School.
Attempting to keep our minions in order.
And many many other things.

So this blog has slowed down.

Jarrah does have 1 new idea. We have three old ones but we have no idea what they were supposed to be about since only the titles exist. We're (or maybe just Jarrah) are thinking of a replies to the commentors that asked for specific CCs. All in good times, peoples.

Look for the new CC in a few days (or weeks, or months, or years.)

And while you wait, feel free to reread all our old posts and laugh again. (It's not like Jarrah would ever do that. But you can have fun!)

P.S. We're also supposed to have a new logo instead of the orange B but it hasn't worked yet. Her name is Curtina.
