<p>…
I kind of failed
I’m at the horse farm every other day but half of it won’t count for volunteer hours.
I read but not half as much as I meant to.
Still a little lost on the tuba
Ahh well. I have a month left~
I need be able to drive I can’t do more then my parents are willing to drive me to.
I applied for an internship though so!!!</p>
<p>Academic: 6 books for Ap English, math packet for AP Calc, go school supply shopping</p>
<p>College Related: common app essay (and whole application), choosing which colleges to apply to, choose what teachers to ask for recommendations</p>
<p>Personal: learn to drive (only have a permit), organize my closet, practice playing tennis before try-outs, be relaxed for back to school</p>
<p>oh and picking a senior quote for the yearbook</p>
<p>my progress- i read 3 of the books for english, but didnt take any notes about them
- i made a top quotes list with my favorites to pick from
- i have some colleges in mind now- but still need to decide which ones exactly</p>
<p>so basically, not too much lol I feel that July just flew right by! thinking about school makes me super-stressed- i’m not reading for summer to end at all!</p>
<p>oh like someone with less hair than he has now. </p>
<p>a lot of smart people don’t apply to ivies. iceqube is not a smart person i would think wouldn’t apply to ives though. so i have your reaction with 30% of the intensity. (by the way i am not saying iceqube is ‘not a smart person’ - the sentence just came together weirdly).</p>
<p>That was a weird sentence lol
icqube how do you do so much in a day
your list was super long and you already have most of it done
I had one thing
and I’m not done</p>
Successfully teach myself precalc so that I can take BC Calc next year. DONE!!!
Notify administration of my bunk schedule for next year and ask them to change it once I get into BC Calc Will do next week
Finish summer reading - Survival of the Sickest, Fahrenheit 451, To Kill a Mockingbird (I don’t know why they’re having us read this when they know for a fact that most of the school has read it in middle school), and other summer assignments. almost done
Buy AP Prep books (Euro, World, Bio, Calc, Stats) and start learning! (might get Psych, ES, and HUGS later in the year) haven’t done
Buy SAT 2 Math 2 prep book(s) and start reviewing for December (?) test done, though I’ll probably take the October test instead
Sign up for statistics at local CC I’ve come back to reality and realized that I don’t have the time next year to do this</p>

<p>Crap, I haven’t even started my summer reading assignment yet. I really need 3 books that are ridiculously easy to read and understand. Any suggestions?</p>

2) Finish my new programming book only one paragraph left in the 1st chapter, so a tiny bit of progress

4) Learn the calc at least needed for Physics C. Try to study some extra calc too taking this off the list. not happening :rolleyes:
5) Finish summer reading books by mid August, and finish notes my September finished 1 book and started taking a few notes on it
6) Finish story outline by August done, but I didn’t finish by August</p>
<p>my priorities have changed a bit so I’m making a few adjustments to my list:</p>
<p>1) Get license
2) Finish programming book
3) Finish summer reading for 4 books and notes for 3 of those books by September. Finish notes for 4th book in Sept.
4) Succeed in CampNaNo (summer version of National Novel Writing Month- must finish writing 50,000 words this month) (VERY BEHIND)
5) Start some college essays</p>
