Actually, officially, #DonneWithDonne

To all the people taking the AP Lit exam, I wish you luck, I fought to the last minute.

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

Very disappointed that my "biggest fan" @EllerAusten would refuse my one reliving request. However, there is still time, hope is not lost.

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@julieadrews @susie_melk I'd allow you to leave the AP Lit exam if @EllerAusten doesn't listen to me

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@EllerAusten Yes but each of those classes all require an exam based on essay writings. There was no real choice, only the illusion of one.

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@EllerAusten I'm a novelist and occasionally a poet, and thrived. There's no need to force these children to be essayists against their want

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@EllerAusten That means assisting your students to an easier exam

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@EllerAusten “There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends ... Loving people by halves ... is not in my nature"

[Jane Austen @NorthangerJane]

@EllerAusten I hope you aren't deceiving me April, I didn't come back from the dead (and just for you for that matter) just to be lied to
