Summer Homework

Today is July 18. School resumes on August 12. Today I realized I am screwed.

I have been assigned to read six books for AP Literature & Composition along with completing two essays. Besides that class, I also have three pages of problems to complete for AP Chemistry and memorize a whole bunch of chemistry related items. All of this stuff must be learned and completed by August 12.

My current standings don't look too hot. I've read the book I needed to read for the essays along with have the essays written. I also read two other books, allowing me to say I've completed reading three of the six books. Currently, I am in the very beginning of The Grapes of Wrath, which is about a 460 page read. The summer is over half way complete and I am just now passing the halfway mark for my English assignment, not even to mention chemistry.

My chemistry homework is, well, a work in progress. I've opened the packet up to look through it, but then I just sat it down for another day's project. I would really rather finish all my reading and then focus my time on chemistry, but that might not work out. As I said yesterday, marching band camp begins Monday [July 20] and that pretty much knocks out an entire week of working on summer homework.

I hope I can prove myself wrong and be able to say I got it all done, but at this point, it seems like a hopeless case.
