I don’t know; Georgia is a rogue state
Ya, mine ends early too. I get out on Wednesday. I have a three day weekend and then I have to go to school for two :(. What was the school day thinking? How will we be motivated to complete the last two days of school with finals after memorial weekend? Well, I’m kind of glad to get out early because we get to start the summer early. The only problem is that we start school early, the first week of August on the 7th.
I guess that’s the difference then. I assumed that most schools started after Labor Day, as that’s what I’ve been accustomed too. Also, finals in my school takes 4 days…
Actually, a lot of schools start in end of July in Colorado, for elementary schools in my area. It sucks for them! I’m so glad that I only start first week of August.
July seems early to start school, don’t you think? Poor elementary schools…I don’t know how I survived elementary school starting that early.
Is 6 AP’s (counting self-study) too much for me as a junior next year? I’m afraid I’ll be swamped and won’t have enough time for Ec’s like volunteering and student council.
Kind of depends on what they are and your work ethic. For instance, pretty sure I could bang AP Stat out in a week before the test. 
Yeah it honestly depends on what APs you’ll be doing. For example, I heard that AP Human Geo wasn’t that hard to self-study for. I would honestly prioritize ECs though since most colleges won’t care about your AP scores unless it’s like a 4 or above.
I have one more week and then finals! I’m kind of scared for this summer; for ap English Lang, I have to write an an essay every week on a different book (8 books total) I’m taking Spanish for a better grade, and I’m doing Russian at UCLA so it’ll give me 4 years of language credits (I didn’t do well in Spanish so this will be a good backup). In addition, I’ll be volunteering and trying to enjoy my summer. Wow
I know! Summer really scares me! I have a full-time job at a summer camp, volunteering at the library and at the hospital, and I have to take Algebra 2 online,as well as summer assignments for AP Psych, AP Chem, AP Lang, and AP US History (for which I have to read and annotate 300-400 pages of a history textbook). I’m also nervous/excited as anything for my AP scores to come out… July 6, counting the days!
Lol, seems like everyone is busy. Have 9-5 research program, working at library and tutoring, volunteering at hospital, self studying physics and US II, studying for October SAT, and two trips for national competitions. But, hopefully, the last one will be fun.
What happened to enjoying summer? I have to self-study ap psychology and ap statistics over the summer. I’m learning programming on khan academy so that I can self-study computer science A over the school year. I’m also volunteering at the hospital and at the library and for community events (hoping for 150 hours this summer)! But I’m really excited for a week long neurology camp that I’m going to during July and the HOBY conference! I don’t have that much summer homework for IB, thank goodness, only reading and annotating Frankenstein (really short book!), practicing conjugations for French, and physics summer homework (which my teacher refuses to give to us until the end of july(hopefully that isn’t much because my school starts first week of august)).
@athenanv13 I feel you… I have to prep this whole summer for the SAT and all my 4 AP classes for next year and volunteer. Look on the bright side; this hard work will pay off later.
@AnniiT :), that’s the good thing, it will pay off! Good luck on the SAT! I’m prepping for the SAT and ACT too!
That’s what I love about this website, I can complain and others will understand where I’m coming from :).
@athenanv13 Thx I’m going to need the luck xD I am also going to prepare for the ACT, but if I can manage to get a really good score on the SAT, I’m not going to worry about the ACT. And yes, on this site, people understand each other and you’re not alone. My family doesn’t understand the crap we go through as high school students e_e
@AnniiT I know right? I totally agree!
I’m not really doing anything this summer.
Is anyone else taking the June SAT?
I’m doing some subject tests in June.
