I’ve had exactly one month of vacation. I don’t want school to start just yet
I have almost exactly one month left xD I still have much to do before school starts, though, and I’d like a bit of a respite between activities and school, so I don’t want it to start just yet.
Hello! I’m back from camp!
It hasn’t even been a whole day since camp ended and I miss everyone (except one person). I hope we’ll be able to keep in touch.
On another note, my birthday is coming up soon! And my due dates for my summer homework, which…is not finished.
I have two weeks left to finish my summer assignment because the last week of summer I’m going on vacation every single day, so I won’t have time then…
I’m SERIOUSLY procrastinating my AP Lang essays. I just can’t find the motivation to put in the energy and write essays about the books I read 
APUSH is going strong. Finished the video notes and charts, but I gotta finish outlining this one map with the locations of the Native Americans.
And I still have yet to visit a museum for one of the assignments…
Lol managing time is difficult over the summer… … Is it just me or has anyone’s handwriting taken a nose dive??? I was writing the answers for APUSH and my handwriting felt so wobbly like I hadn’t written full sentences in a while. #summerprobs
@cocolover123 Mine has for sure! I was writing an APUSH essay and I was rereading it and I couldn’t understand my chicken scratch…so I wrote it over with a thinner pen.
I’ve typed most of my stuff up this summer, but my handwriting hasn’t changed that much.
I’ve barely had time to do any hw yet cause I need to do a bunch of work for my summer college course thing. But I did read part of Common Sense for APUSH and it is surprisingly really good and interesting! Thomas Paine is the coolest person ever!!!
I’m taking such a long time to finish my bio hw. Ecology just doesn’t interest me…
Lit is going surprisingly well! I have to finish Wuthering Heights and write an essay on it, and review my other essay, but I am almost done.
Psych is put off to the back burner until the week before school, because it should take me three hours to complete it.
I’m almost done with my AP Bio summer homework, except I still have to watch two movies for extra credit and finish Silent Spring. I still have 200 pages to go. For SL Psychology we are supposed to do one thing for others (like volunteer at a church) and one thing for ourselves (like read a book) and write about how it made us feel. Should be pretty easy.
I just read all of the details for the IB diploma…praying for you guys. its so intense.
At my school we have this IB mentor thing where IB juniors have a IB senior mentor who can aid them in their quest for the IB diploma. I was just paired up with my mentor and we’re supposed to get in contact immediately but I haven’t contacted her yet. Oops. And I looked at the spreadsheet with everyone who’s in the program and it seems like my mentor is the only one with two people she is mentoring. Maybe because I signed up late? I wonder…
Who else has been studying like crazy for PSAT and SAT? I’ve been doing a lot of old SAT so I can get that out of the way and I really want national merit.
I can barely get up to read my book or do AP World hw. Much less study.
@sprights Actually, at my school, the IB diploma is not as intense as taking all AP’s. The counselors still put on your app that it was the most rigorous thing offered but it’s easier. At my school, the teachers work together to make sure that we have less homework and if they have a big project, they have to put it on the calendar so that the other teachers know not to assign a big project. Also, they are not allowed to schedule any test on the same day.
@dsi411 I wish I had a mentor!!!
@cocolover123 me! Esp. since I’m taking two different tests.
I’m just studying for ACT, I hate the SAT and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna flop on the PSAT. I’m gonna take the PSAT just to try, but my score is gonna be barf worthy I’m sure. 
I haven’t even looked at the PSAT, haha. Right now, I’m just focusing on raising my ACT score. I doubt I’ll qualify for National Merit, anyway.
Well, the new PSAT is basically the ACT minus writing and science, so you guys should do fine. Got a 223 last year, bit disappointed because qualifying score for NJ is 224. Didn’t study though, so hopefully I do better this year. Best of luck to all of us!
The new PSAT is really annoying; I’m decent at it, but I still like the old one MUCH better.
Anyone here interested in researching new alternative energy sources?
Also, last week at camp!
