Are you feeling H-E-C-T-I-C in the summer?

July 19, 2010 by bb-pawprint

Every summer, I want to do a lot of things like joining programs, doing internships, participating in preps and courses to enhance myself but schools are giving us loads of homework assignments to do. Then when is our break time? Isn’t summer supposed to be our break from school? So why are we doing so much work outside of school? Some students have to do assignments for their AP classes, read 4-5 books, write an essay after reading and taking notes on a book, definitely S.A.T. preps, college visits, college office assignments like practice filling out the common application and writing personal essays for colleges. My brain wants to explode after reading all the assignments I listed above! If you are not good at time-management, you probably don’t want to do any extra activities because you will be pressuring yourself. I wouldn’t say I am an organized person but I plan out my whole summer. My whole summer calendar is packed with “things to do” lists! Recently, I joined the COAP (Career Opportunities in Accounting Profession) program and it took six days from my life but it was a great experience. Then I joined College Now (Journalism) and it took approximately month and a half days away from my life. Then I got accepted in SYEP which is very lucky for me and it took up month and a half days away from my life, too. Now, how many days do I have to do all my summer homework assignments? I know the school is giving us work to prepare us for college but I feel tired. I still haven’t done any homework at all which makes me feel like I’m on the edge of the cliff. Is two weeks enough for me to do all the things I listed before?
