Sorry to post so much, and in particular about taking up space with my own stuff, but I would really appreciate some pocket riders tomorrow (in exactly 12 hours now). My previous T session ended with him saying something rather weird and slightly upsetting and I am going to have to talk to him about that; I also need to bring up another thing that happened in my last session, and that could potentially lead to painful disclosures.

I'll be thinking of you. I've never ridden in a pocket before but I'd love to give it a try!

I'll gladly go with you. No need to apologize for posting so much or taking up space. There is infinite couch space to go around.

T got back to me via email today.. He ignored my screw you email and addressed the one I sent earlier in the week about sending him an email about some sensitive things that I want to discuss in our next session. I think that was his way of reassuring me that I didn't totally mess things up. So, that makes me feel better.

Most do though, recognizing that students who have successfully qualified on the exams, which are incredibly rigorous, have met the requirements for comparable courses in their institutions.

So for instance, my students take the AP English Language & Composition exam. The course focuses on rhetorical analysis, persuasion, and argumentation. Generally, qualifying on this exam can earn 3 or 6 hours of freshman level rhetoric and composition credit depending on how high a student's qualifying score is and what the individual universities choose to give credit for -- it varies.
Thank you for a good explanation. I just would like to add that you do not have to take an AP course to take an AP exam. I used to home school and tutor for income as a stay at home mom. Most never took an AP course, and knew some public or private school kids that weren't enrolled in a specific AP course, but nevertheless we're allowed to sit for the exam. AP does recommend enrolling in a school AP course, but not all students can or want to.

Curious random question.....

Does a banshee really scream? Not sure I really know what a banshee actually is.

Just one of those things that just popped in my head.

If banshees existed, I am sure they would scream.

I would be curious to hear how different these samples sound to people who don't understand the language at all... to me they are very different indeed, like Glaswegian versus Cockney versus Baltimore, but I have no idea if it's really that different when it's all just weird sounds.
My own accent is perhaps closest to this, but I have some sounds in my speech from my mother's Northern accent which people down here don't generally have.
Not knowing anything about linguists etc and not knowing the language I can't distinguish the emphasis on words or such. Each sample did sound different, particularly the West and way down south. Not unerstanding the language hampered me a great deal It was extremely interesting though. Thank Crocus.
Thanks for this!

Dual enrollment is a class I can take instead of English 4 at my high school. I am actually enrolled at the University down here because it is an actual college class with a professor teaching it. I would be paying to take the class, but a scholarship is paying for it.

Thanks, Crocus and Trailrunner. And everyone on the couch. It's really nice knowing when I can't stand myself, or anyone else can stand me, I have the couch to sit on and cry.

Absolutely! Season 3, episode 21 of "Charmed" featured banshees and they totally screamed!

Thanks guys. For some reason I was thinking it was something like a hyena kind of thing/animal.

Could have googled it but it was more fun to ask y'all. Couch 113 - Sofa, So Good

Crocus make room in your pocket for my fat azz! I finally got the truck fixed, so I can drive if you want to rest up. Unless you're like me, my PTSD won't allow me to be a passenger, if the car is moving I have to be driving, it's the only way I feel safe. Driving in itself is not safe, so my psyche is all backwards here, but that's my story.

Tiny little rubber hose fitting, tiny hole less than the diameter of a pencil eraser, giant pain in the neck, made my engine feel like it was going to fall out of the car. Grrr, I really should have gone to school to be a mechanic.

Regarding AP classes, they completely stressed my oldest daughter to the point she dropped out of school early. The pluses: getting college credit at the high school level costs 90% less (public high school fees vs. college course fees); also she really enjoyed the challenge (until she didn't anymore) and was proud of herself for her achievements.

I wanted to watch a movie with my mom. But she said no. She needed to spend more time with dad to fix things. Guess that makes sense. We're just temporary. He's not. We're not as important. I know she doesn't mean it that way. But it 's hard as we don't get much time together. I know she loves me. I just want her to pay attention to me as well. Is that so wrong?

Gaelic folklore fascinates me!! I love anything that is associated with that part of history and origin.

It sounds so sad and I feel sorry for her. Sorry for her grief and the mourning aspect of it.

Thank you for posting this!!

No. It's not wrong to feel that way at all. You are entitled to feel that if that's how you feel. It doesn't make it hurt less though. I understand what you are saying.
