Summer Homework Update

I know, I know, homework is just everyone's favorite thing ever. Lucky for me, none of my teachers wanted me to be the least bit bored over the summer. *eyeroll*
At the beginning of this month, I had a little panic, with school being less than two months away, and that paired with my lack of creativity caused to me to stop my Camp NaNoWriMo novel a few days in... I may still come back to it, but no intention of winning anymore.
Here are all of the things I have to do:


  • Read City of Thieves by David Benioff and How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster- So far City of Thieves is a really good book. I wasn't able to put it down this morning until I made myself stop for breakfast. I will probably finish it today, and then start the other book.
  • Watch two economics-related documentaries and prepare notes to turn in- hopefully this won't be too bad.
  • Keep a journal of five economic decisions I make over the summer- I'm really dreading this, as the teacher doesn't want them all to be about purchases, and I have no idea what else to write. Also, she didn't specify length or anything.
  • Write three journal entries in Spanish- I've done one, and it wasn't two bad. 10-15 sentences isn't very long, and I didn't have too hard of a time. The other two should be just as easy.
  • Read three things in Spanish and summarize them- Hopefully this will be fine. The only requirement is that whatever we read has to be over 300 words. Children's books count, so this may actually be kind of fun.
  • Listen to three things in Spanish and summarize them- This wouldn't be a problem if I could find things. I was hoping to just turn on the Spanish channel on the TV, but it seems to have disappeared. I have 7 Spanish radio stations in my car, so I'm hoping to pick up enough while driving to write good summaries.
Fun summer, huh? I also wanted to start my National History Day project and study for SATs/ACTs, but those aren't as urgent.
How are your summers going? Busy?
