<p>Thank God this year I only have to read/annotate 1984. Last summer for junior year I had an insane amount of work for each class, which I managed to cram in the last two days of summer break (as usual).</p>
<p>Im a rising sophomore and i have to write 3 essays, fill out 2 maps, and complete 3 packets for AP Euro.
I also have to read/annotate A Separate Peace and do a word journal thing for lang arts</p>
<p>I have to read Zeitoun by dave eggers and the merchant of Venice by Shakespeare and wrote a comparative analysis about the issue of identity and the criticisms that both ethers and Shakespeare have of society. </p>
<p>Zeitoun is about a man living in post- Katrina new Orleans seems pretty interesting. </p>

<p>For AP Spanish Language, I have to read El Burlador de Sevilla and do a character analysis of one of the characters in the story.</p>
<p>For my APs, I don’t have to do any summer reading. I’m taking probably ~11 AP exams this year, but I’m self-studying most of them. My school curriculum is so limited.</p>
