Entry #7 - OK. I am DOING THIS

Not.

Well, basically I had an entire holiday.

And I tried to start by studying AP World History.

Did not work. I was too interested in 1) my English essay, 2) my MATH :) 3) browsing for summer camps...

Self-studying was way down on my list of "favorite things to do". Which makes it not so much a "favorite" thing to do =P.

As I am freaking out about how the holiday is about to come to an end, and how my extra-curriculars will soon bog down on me because there are a LOT of things coming up, and no holiday to serve as a buffer against the huge tidal wave of pressure...

I notice how all my interests actually END last quarter.

Doesn't that mean I can focus? I can FOCUS for once? With no other "prior commitments" to other interests?

That surely is a sign of hope...

But payments for the exams are due way before that last quarter of school. That means I'm either out, or I'm in it the whole way, price, grade and all.

And that's a whopping $90 at stake for each AP exam.

Is cramming really the way to go?

And I've never really been good at cramming. Hmm...
