It's AP testing season, and y'all know what that means.
Actually, you probably don't know what that means, at least not what I mean when I say you know what that means, because I don't think I ever told you: I'm an AP proctor. And being an AP proctor is exhausting*.
As of right now, I am scheduled to proctor 10** AP exams over the 3 week regular and late testing period. There will probably be more. It's kind of a lot.
It's my third year, so now I know I'm going to be exhausted, rather than having the exhaustion sneak up on me, so I'm preparing mentally and environmentally. I'm planning meals with testing in mind, and making some ahead of time. Fingers crossed I don't completely crash each day I have testing (and then stay crashed the next day).
- Beef & cheese chimichangas (making extra filling for the future). avocado, green beans
- Lasagna (making this on Monday: baking and eating on Tuesday, plus an extra to freeze), garlic toast, salad, raw carrots
- Fend for yourself
- Chicken fried rice, applesauce
- Pizza***, salad
- Grilled chicken ranch skewers, garlic toast, salad
- Grilled hamburgers, buns, salad, raw carrots

* At least for me it's exhausting. It stems from a combination of my social anxiety (having to hang out with people I don't know for hours at a time), along with just not being used to having to be anywhere on a specific day at a specific time anymore, plus having to leave the house before 7 am, looking presentable. Oh, and then there's being in charge.
** Bubby's taking three, all in the first week. He's way more resilient than I am these days, and he's also used to being out of the house for at least 8 hours a day on week days, so I feel like it will be a less exhausting experience for him.
*** We might be fending for ourselves and/or going out to eat this day because I have two tests during the day, plus two choir concerts that evening.
