<p>I haven’t started my EE either, although I need an outline in a couple weeks…</p>
<p>My school started the second week of August and finished on Friday. I’m not sure when I go back though, usually the beginning of August.</p>
<p>So does anyone else have a lot of summer work?
I have to read Frankenstein, Nineteen Eighty Four, Jane Eyre, and Fahrenheit 451 for AP Lit, along with a bunch of questions for each of them
For AP Gov, read Faith of our Founding Fathers and write an essay and then another 2 page/300 word essay on a prompt
Kill me. At least AP Econ doesn’t have work</p>
<p>Fahrenheit 451 was an easy read. I read the whole book over an 8 hour flight.</p>
<p>Just watched The Great Gatsby. The book makes SO much more sense now.</p>
<p>Halcyon is like those super hot girls on facebook who say “omg im so uglyyy”</p>
<p>@thekongo if you’re speaking of the Baz Luhrmann film, then watch out. The movie glorifies the disillusionment of the 20s, while Fitzgerald wrote the novel to denounce it</p>
<p>No, I thought Tom killed Gatsby. I kinda slacked off that day or week or month or two.</p>
<p>Wilson killed Gatsby, right? At least that’s how I remember the book way back when first semester.</p>
<p>Good read, though. I hear the movie’s cool, too.</p>
<p>@TheKongo Fail</p>
<p>I finally got most of my AP summer work, between all the school work and the other stuff I have planned I will have no time to sleep. Also it looks like I am getting two Bs this semester. :(</p>
<p>anyone have any suggestions for CONTEMPORARY good reads? Not twilght type. :
But some light reading xD
Ad no… Showing off ur i dunno super hard old novels’ list is not cool and the moment… I am just about to finish ‘‘the woman in white’’ and i’m in the mood for a nonclassic for a change!
Also, COMMON APP ESSAYS! i’m outa ideas… By the way… Does harvard have its own app with its own prompts… The uchicago one’s are really funny… But it’s like they’re trying so hard to be that cool outa the box uni… :P</p>
<p>What’s Uchicago’s prompt?</p>
<p>One of my favorite authors is tamora pierce. Anything by her is a relatively light read but will be fantastic. I would suggest starting with the song of the lioness quartet. Its my favorite series of all time
In other news i just finished my last exam! I ended the year with B’s in AP Latin Physics and Pre-Calc and A’s in AP Lang and Government. Good year and now im looking forward to the precollege program in rochester and hopefully summer employment at Tuti Fruity.</p>
<p>Woohoo 96 on my math exam 
I knew before I left the room. French could’ve gone worse so I’m glad for that. Two more to go. History which may kill me and English.</p>
<p>UChicago has like 6 prompts. They emailed them and I’m too lazy to copy and paste. Not as good as last years. Might be on the website.</p>
<p>^^ The MC section of our math exam is on Thursday, the last day of school…</p>

<p>So who else feels uneasy about being a senior?</p>
<p>I’m just anxious to be a senior. I just want my Pomona acceptance in my hand so I can be done with all that crap.</p>
<p>Ahhhh UChicago and the Common App essays are stressing me out. I haven’t even started them, but I took a glance and I know I have to work my butt off for those if I want to even stand out. </p>
<p>Schools been out for 3 weeks. Been busy with many things.</p>
<p>Leaving for HSHSP in Michigan on Saturday, I’m beyond excited!!</p>
