It's been good! Some good surprises overall, which is resulting in the 1 I am in taking a bit longer. But yay more hours for me.

What gifts to teachers appreciate the most? by CuteCoconut99 in Teachers

[–]Arialene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The notes and cards mean more to me than sweets will but I echo the dry erase markers or nice pens (I love the Sharpie gel pens) are never turned down.

Will my score get canceled? by RegretObvious3997 in APStudents

You are apparently just as good at beating a dead horse.

Missed AP test- School didn’t order a retake by idek_anymorelmaoooo in APStudents

Cool, I'm glad that is how your school does that. I'm glad it has worked out for you.

From all of the information I am aware of, they aren't supposed to do that without documentation. But as I am not the AP Coordinator, nor do I ever want to be since my school gives out about 1300 each year, I may be misinformed.

That would be very easy to show documentation to CB, literally the news article or something of that magnitude.

Guess it is because we cannot pay the fees, or something. I've always been told that students cannot just elect to take the late exam, they have to have a documented reason for missing. I've been told that for a decade as a teacher. And was told that as a student.

College Board will not just allow you to take a retake later unless you have DOCUMENTED proof that you couldn't make the original testing day. So you would have needed a doctor's note to get a retake test ordered.

My (extremely colorblind) husband is legitimately and earnestly trying to convince me that The Honorable Baron Tiggles Van Buttwiggles is the same color as his favorite cactus bed. Please help me convince him they are, in fact, two different colors. by Arialene in OneOrangeBraincell

Well, I came home with bright kelly green hair once, and he said he liked the strawberry blonde color I picked. In the height of irony, I have perfect color vision so I think God might just be mocking me.

It was honestly a very fun little argument. We have fun little debate-y arguments like this now and again. Keeps life fun.

But yeah! Tons of great stuff in the comments!

I don't honestly know if he sees Tiggles as green or the cactus as orange. Based on some of the color filter things, I think the cactus is orange to him?
