It seems like yesterday when I first signed up for my classes...I've learned several things since. First of all, APs are pretty easy. Second, I need to stop procrastinating. Third, I need to continue to learn and develop my mind (which I'll do by reading books).
I've stopped swimming for two weeks now (due to reasons such as not qualifying for city finals and shoulder problems) but I'm thinking about starting again. I concentrate better and have a better sense of well being. Besides, today was my last visit to my physical therapist for my shoulder. Mixed feelings about that because I've met some great people while receiving treatment.
Lately, grades seem to not matter to me. Instead, I've taken up training my mind into thinking a certain way. Perhaps a logical method of thinking would be best.
Today, I played Scrabble in my AP Biology class with Sharifa, Laareb, Esther, Yulee, and Sarah. Sarah and Laareb seem to be the best at it.
I'm so excited about my summer plans! Right after school, I'm going to Europe (France, Italy) for 10 days, which is not much, but I know it'll be a eye opening experience. Two days after, I'm going to a summer program called COSMOS, a four month residential program at UCSD (which I receieved a full scholarship to). Maybe sneak in a few reads and do my AP homework for the rest of the summer, which brings to mind, a nagging concern. According to several of my teachers, the adminstrators are thinking of making the AP homework deadline a month earlier. It would make programming classes for students easier, but many students are taking summer programs and would not be able to turn in their work. So it's a give and take situation. Personally, I think they should keep it the way it is. The students that take APs are likely to participate in summer programs.
