I didn’t think I’d be saying it this soon, but I am very, very ready for school to start up again. It’s not that I have all my work done- no, I still have to do all my summer work (see below), except calculus. It’s the I’ve spent a month sitting around my house and doing nothing, and I’m sick of it.

I’m not very good at self-motivation. If left to my own devices, I don’t do anything unless I have to. I’m hoping to break myself of this habit before I start living on my own because I don’t want to be fat, stupid, uncultured waste of space. I want to go to school every day and do my homework every night. I want to see people. I want to start my new classes. I want to get my senior year over with.

I always have great plans for the summer- books to read, things to accomplish online(Forbidden Fruit needs exa-work), weight to lose… it never gets done, though. I’m very good at looking at my life and figuring out what to do in order to improve it. However, I’m terrible at getting off my ass and starting to improve it right then.

Summer work:

• English: Read The Grapes of Wrath, The Scarlet Letter, and Lord of the Flies. Write essay on Scarlet Letter. Also, decide on topic for source paper and gather sources.

• Physics: Read Chapter 1, do all review questions, do lab report.
• Biology: Do ecology section. This includes doing a large packet (sheets and essays) and preparing for a test.
• Calculus: Review Chapter 1, possibly do some practice problems. Buy Jujubees?
