<p>If you enjoy 400 year old satire, Don Quixote is worth a look (if you haven’t read it already). Other than that:</p>
<p>Fiction - Babel-17, Cat’s Cradle, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union</p>
<p>Non-fiction - Mortality (Hitchens), Joseph Anton (I have yet to read it, but I’m hearing rave reviews from well-seasoned Rushdie fans and critics alike).</p>
<p>SLAUGHTERHOUSE 5!!! Awesome book :))</p>
<p>I just finished reading “A Clockwork Orange.” It was kind of bizarre yet fantastic. </p>
<p>I wandered around the house with excess restless energy after I finished it, wanting to do something reckless. Maybe that’s a side-effect from reading too much Burgess.</p>
<p>Someone recommended a book called “Infinite Jest” as one of the best books they have ever read in their life. That intrigued me enough to put it on my reading list, although I’ve been warned that it’s really, really, really long.</p>
<p>@Grammernazi- </p>
<p>Speaking of centuries-old satire, have you read Candide by Voltaire?
Really entertaining, and not too long.</p>
<p>Mandarin homework - conquered</p>
<p>Now, off to bed. :)</p>
<p>Headmaster’s holiday tomorrow 
Nice day off to catch up on my work. First marking period (six per year, weird I know) ends on Monday and my grades aren’t quite where I’d like them to be so this will hopefully be very helpful.</p>
<p>You guys are so.lucky to have debate as a class, I would kill to have that at my school… instead we get trimesters!!! I’m a junior taking-
Anatomy (1 & 3)
AP English language (1 & 2)
AP psychology (1 & 2)
AP government (2 & 3)
AP Econ (2)
Algebra 2 (1 & 3)
Art (3)
Gym (3)
We have to have three credits of gym… such a buzz-kill. Are any of you thinking about graduating a year early?</p>
<p>Hey guys. I know you guys don’t remember me, but I’m the homeschooled kid who’s always needing help :)</p>
<p>First, I plan on taking the PSAT this October - either the 17th or the 20th. I’m studying with the 2013 Princeton Review PSAT review, but it seems like something is missing. What are some good supplemental materials?</p>
<p>Also, college. Yay. This is probably the stupidest question of all, but since this is my junior year, do I begin filling out college applications this year or in my senior year? </p>
<p>Do I take the SAT this year? Or senior year?</p>
<p>And, last but not least, all of my EC’s comprise of making movies. Not just homemade films, but actually gathering a budget and actors, etc. Funny thing is, I do not want to go to film school (that’s a whole different subject), so what would be a good major for an filmmaker who doesn’t want to go to film school?</p>
<p>Thank you so much guys. You’ve been a huge help throughout the years. I’ve been so busy with everything I haven’t visited CC in awhile. It’s time to change that :)</p>
<p>Id suggest taking the SAT at least once if not twice your junior year. It gives you the possibility of not needing to take it at all senior year and thus not having to worry about it come applications.</p>
<p>What month do I take it in?</p>
<p>The closest date to whenever you feel ready.</p>
<p>Oct. 6 SAT ftw!! Nervous as can be!</p>
<p>^ I’m taking it, too. Good luck to us!</p>
<p>Boo Yaa</p>
<p>Got a 23/30 on my AP Bio Test, and my teacher is allowing us to correct our answers that we got wrong for partial credit</p>
<p>Congrats! Is anybody taking the ACT in December, I wanted to take it earlier but I just got a math tutor because despite being good at math my practice math score was hideous…</p>
<p>I’m taking the SAT in Nov.</p>
<p>13 days, and still counting down, till the PSAT…</p>
<p>Anyways :),</p>
<p>Algebra ll as a Junior. I’m worried that when I take the PSAT and SAT, that it will involve Pre-Calculus…do they?</p>
<p>Also for my senior year Should I do Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry, Pre-Calculus, or AP Stats with Pre-Calculus? Or should I take an Pre-Calc online and get Calculus Senior year? Do colleges offer Pre-Calc and if I do take Calculus would they count it as credit?</p>
<p>The SAT1/PSAT doesn’t need Precalc (I think, maybe basic trig).</p>
<p>Be sure to take Calculus your senior year. I would take precalc over this summer.</p>
<p>it needs through Geometry</p>
<p>Not really school related but last week my team and I got accepted by NASA to their SLI program down in Huntsville, Alabama. 
Really happy right now.</p>
