One day left
Since this day is pretty much over, I have one day left of summer vacation. Bummer. I'm going to miss my summer.

Junior year...what a feat. I've managed to make it this far without too many mis-haps along the way, which is fairly impressive, given my personality. >>; But enough of that philisopical crap, on with the post!

I think that I have two "new years" celebrations. I mean, the years starts twice for me - one on January 1st, and then one on the third/fourth Wednesday of August. There's the Georgian calendar new year, and then...the school year new year. Maybe the latter doesn't impact as many people as I think, but hey, it impacts me, and for right now, that's really about all that matters. :3

And on the subject of school, I have to get the mindset right for AP English. [Full course name: AP Literature and Composition.] This marks the second summer where I've had a reading assignment to do. Last year, I had the pleasure of reading "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathanial Hawthorne. ...Which I hated. ...A lot. To put it simply, I cracked open the book in August, read the first page, and threw it at the wall, no joke. I ended up reading SparkNotes for it and doing well on the test anyways.
But this year is different, because now I have to work for that AP credit. Given the fact that I have several older friends who took the class, I've been prepped for difficult questions and monsterous tests. I don't want to say that 'now I have to work', buut that is about the only way to put it.

Anyways, summer reading. Well, this summer, the assignment was for "Lord of the Flies". I started reading it Saturday and I'm, ahem, 1/4 of the way through. >.>; While it is not nearly on the terrible par of "Scarlet", it's not that good either. It's not poorly written or anything; the story is just so boring. For one, I'm not sure where the character Simon came from, but he's there in the quad of "important" characters. But besides that, I just...don't get it. You've got pre-teens stranded on an island - I was thinking you could make it a bit more exciting?

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't judge so early in the game, but...I am. >>; I already read the last page, and Golding performed the cardinal sin of fiction books - he had the main character pretty much recite who died and stuff. You don't do that, Golding! ...Are you dead yet?! I don't know! TO WIKIPEDIA!
