It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the AP Art Exam torture.

Granted I was working down to the wire doing an extra piece to replace one that I wasn't happy with, but the real stress came from the website itself.

This was the first year that the AP required online submission of pieces, which was good in that it saved time and money mailing in slides of your pieces. It sounded like a good idea. 'Sounded' being the key word. The AP deadline suggested that submissions be made on the day of the 'test.' It turns out that you can submit at any time, but that wasnt really relayed to us students (not liek we would have done it early, but it would have been nice to know eh?) So the entire nation logs onto the ap website and BAM. Yeah the site crashed in the middle of my breadth section. So my teacher, who was quite stressed herself, told us to just keep at it. Well after 4 tries, and 6 relogs into the site, I got one piece up. Repeat that process 18 times for the other pieces and 3 hours later I've got only one thing left, to submit and forward my portfolio to my teacher. And thats when the site went down for the whole class, nobody could access it at all.

One call to the AP later and 7 extremely agitated, tired, and hot(no AC in the art room, and no breeze T-T) art students went home only to come in early on Monday to finally finish.

So yesterday morning I finished my AP Art 'exam'

Whew, /rant.

Well, I've got a bunch of stuff to upload and get started on now that I dont have to worry about being tested anymore. I better get to it!
