<p>You've told yourself your going to do the SAT prep and pull that 2300... or actually be productive.</p>
<p>But now that summer has been flowing and things have settled down into a pattern, are you actively doing productive work or mindlessly wasting time on the internet?</p>
<p>So far mine is the latter mixed in with some summer classes and random summer assignments.</p>
<p>How are the hardcore CCers doing?</p>
<p>Well I was fairly productive this summer. I did my ap homework, ran over 200 miles for xc, and toured some colleges. Plus I started putting together all the logistical stuff for my new club. Other than that I have just been hanging out and relaxing before my hectic junior year starts.</p>
<p>I was productive in being social.
As far as helping to advance myself or my community, I haven’t done ****.</p>
<p>Same as Deziky lol</p>
<p>I worked through the linear algebra textbook I’ll be using in college and currently half-way through physics and calculus.</p>
<p>productive in chilling</p>
<p>Well… I finished my AP homework and got a volunteering gig at a hospital. </p>
<p>That’s it…</p>
<p>I finished reading the required reading list for college… and read a few books here and there. I was over productive in swimming, though.</p>
<p>Not much…</p>
<ul>
<li><p>100+ volunteering at the hospital</p></li>
<li><p>have been legitimately working for my parents (legitimately = being paid) but for only 2 weeks so far</p></li>
<li><p>packing (moving into a house 5 minutes away which eating up the rest of my summer)</p></li>
<li><p>playing tennis (2-3 times a week) </p></li>
<li><p>SAT prep class (started on Saturday lol)</p></li>
<li><p>summer reading (page 80/388 and it’s the only book I have to read)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For a rising sophomore, I’d say my summer has been somewhat productive… but I could’ve done a lot more.</p>
<p>None. My SAT score stayed the EXACT SAME.
My PSAT score rose by 10 points. (Not s in 200->210, but as in 160->170)</p>
<p>And I finished my summer homework in a day, no sleep, no food, nothing.</p>
<p>Nothing. Sheeeeeet… i should prolly start my essays…</p>
<p>Nothing. My school starts after tomorrow and I haven’t done *****. I will do the summer reading tomorrow probably, so that it’s fresh in my mind. </p>
<p>Other than that, i’ve been relaxing way too much and playing tennis way too much :P</p>
<p>I’ve done a lot of non-academic stuff, but I haven’t been as productive as I would have liked with summer homework.</p>
<p>Also I planned to read a AP Euro review book to be more prepared during the year. Lol.</p>
<p>This thread is depressing</p>
<p>So far:
-I’ve gotten pretty far in (some of) my college essays.
-I’ve been running and winning some awards in summer races (earning some street cred on the running scene lol).
-I’ve been volunteering frequently doing odd-jobs for NHS credit etc.
-I enjoyed a trip to Europe with my family.
-I’ve been more social than I expected to be and have otherwise been chilling/doing chores etc.
-I started working on a bass guitar that I’ve been meaning to build for some time.
-I’m thinking I will take up guitar lessons again since I got in contact with my old mentor.
-I asked two teachers to write recs for me before school ended so hopefully I won’t have to worry about that.</p>
<p>I only regret that I didn’t get a job or study for my ACT retake more often. Now, I have to cram. Otherwise, I feel relatively accomplished. My senior year is gonna be rough, though… :/</p>
<p>finished self studying </p>
<p>environemtal
human geo
micro
macro</p>
<p>going to start some others…
psych and comp gov</p>
<p>for national ap scholar</p>
<p>^Now THAT’S productive.</p>
<p>OMG.
I wish I had that dedication. I only decided to self-study about 4 this coming school year</p>
<p>I convinced myself I would learn calculus so I don’t die in BC next year. HA HA yeah right. I’ve read quite a bit, hung out with friends, practiced my instrument (upright bass), biked, organized my house, watched movies. But nothing remotely productive for school.</p>
<p>I have… completed a 1 month internship. Read a few books. Wrote my common app essay. </p>
<p>Uh oh… I’m screwed.</p>
