This year, I did not hit “the wall” like I have in previous years. I believe that this is because I have now been retrained on a third question. In fact, today I scored the hat trick, won the triple crown, or completed the trifecta as I have moved between all three types of questions: the short answer (SAQ), the long essay (LEQ), and the document based (DBQ)! This has certainly broken up the monotony of reading different versions of the same essay seven days in a row!
My plans for the evening whirled through several stages before settling on hanging out with my roommate by walking the town and getting my now traditional frozen dessert on the penultimate day of the Reading. I’ve been trying to be good about eating while up here, and have been mostly successful, but I have been craving this simple chocolate custard with peanut butter topping sundae all week. It did not disappoint.
Well, there’s one more day of the Reading. We will still be training through the first break, but I’m hoping to (accurately) get through 100 essays tomorrow (it will more likely be closer to 70). We will see.
