AP Euro

A class taken by naive sophomores and one junior that didn't heed the warnings of the poor souls before them. If you are debating on taking this, I don't recommend it unless you are a god of anti-procrastination. If you do decide to do it, be warned that it WILL leave a bad taste in your mouth for future AP classes. The reason for this is the feeling of futility that surrounds you once you realize that everything you learned about the War of the (fill in the blank) and the Whatever The Fuck Crisis was for nothing apart from that one question on Trivia Crack. Also, if you have a teacher that doesn't lecture the entire year but still expects you to do well on the chapter tests every friday and get a 5 on the AP exam, then you must go to SCHS and be clinically depressed (I'm sorry).

WARNING ** This class will make you question the point of education and life as you know it ** WARNING

First day of school

Mom: Hey son, got any homework tonight?
Son: Yeah, AP Euro
Mom: Oh really? I meant that as a joke, it's the first day of school...
Son: Well, it can't be THAT bad, right?

I emerged from the testing hall and was filled with a strange but vaguely familiar warmth. What was it, that filled my body so gloriously with rays of strength and euphoria. I opened my faded and bloodshot eyes that hadn't seen anything other than Jackson J. Spielvogel's Western Civilization 9th Edition textbook for 8 months. I gazed at the horizon at a bright but pleasant light.
"Sun..." I whispered aloud, remembering the name of the post Scientific Revolution center of the solar system. My eyes wandered to the fields of trees dotting the horizon, and the numbness I felt from the test began to wear off. I had a new melancholic emptiness inside me, a hole in my heart from the now useless information of the entirety of European history encompassing the later middle ages until the present day. My faded and bloodshot eyes welled with tears of happiness, as though I had finally regained something I had lost a long time ago. I took my first few steps as a new person. I was home now. I was free.
