Hey Everyone,
Yesterday was the first day of school, and my first day as a Junior at Heights. I was lucky enough to get lockout first period this year, which means I don't have to come into school until second period. It's pretty awesome, getting to sleep in late. I am also driving myself to school now, which is awesome except for all of the crazy traffic and construction work by my school. They've been working on the roads by my school since my FRESHMAN year. Ugh, by the time I graduate, I'm pretty sure I will have a fierce animousity towards construction cones.
On a happier note, my classes are pretty cool so far. I really like AP European History, and French III. I'm majorly concerned about yearbook, though. I feel so separate from my staff, which is definitely not good seeing as I'm their Editor. Hopefully it will get easier... but until then *stresses like crazy*
I think this year will be the most challenging year I've ever had in school- the classes are legit hard this year, unlike my classes in the past that I could have slept through and got an A. I'm excited for the challenge though, I think it will be fun.
I'm also kind of freaking about about jobs. I have to get one. Like now. If I don't my parents will cancel my car insurance, and I'll have no money for gas anyways. I've applied to some places, with no word back. I'm applying to Walmart now.
Wish me luck this year- it'll probably be a crazy one!
Ciao,
Brandi

The Crazy Amount of AP Homework I Have To Do This Summer, But That I'm Yet To Start...
Hey everyone,
So, I've been putting off this insanely large amount of homework that I have to do this summer for my AP English III and AP European History classes. I didn't feel like doing anything for the month of June, because I felt like after an entire school year, I had earned a month off. Now it's July, and I still don't want to do it. But I have a feeling that if I wait till August I'll regret it.
For AP English III:
1.) Read the instuctional part of On Writing by Stephen King found on pages 111-249. Take detailed notes. You will need to turn in your handwritten notes on the first day of school, and you will have a test over the required reading.
2.) Read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Take notes on how Stephen King's lessons apply to Gruen's writing. You will need to turn in your handwritten notes on the first day of school, and you will have a test over the required reading.
3.) Know the definitions of all the summer reading terminology below. Be able to recognize them through examples. This will be apart of your summer reading test.
-1st Person
-2nd Person
-3rd Person
-Alliteration
-Euphemism
-Metaphor
-Personification
-Simile
-Situational Irony
-Symbolism
-Verbal Irony
-Adjective
-Adverb
-Antecedent
-Infinitive
-Noun
-Predicate
-Pronoun
-Subject
For AP European History:
1.) Answer 34 research questions (that I don't feel like typing out) that covers European History before 1450 (where the class picks up).
2.) Read Chapters 1 & 2 of your class text A History Of The Modern World by Palmer, Colton, and Kramer and write a synopsis of at most one typed page for each chapter.
3.) Read the two packets given to you by Mr. Matejic with exerpts from A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman and The Black Death and the Transformation of the West by David Herlihy and write the following:
a.) One typed page on the impact of the Black Death on European Society.
b.) Two typed pages describing the economic, political, and cultural structure of society during the Late Middle Ages, paying extra attention to family, the church, chivalry, and peasants.
4.) All writing assignments must include paranthetical references (Author, pg. #). All assignments are due the first day of school.
Sometime this summer, I will have to tackle it :P
