My brilliant classmates did this: Two guys got into the school early (still unclear how) and put fish in all the water fountains, sinks, and toilets but only in girls' bathrooms. Unfortunately they used warm water so our Class advisers had to sprint around the school dragging an aquarium rescuing them all. My friend got one of the fish, she named it Nacho.

Anybody else have to read Huck Finn for AP English? Its torture. and I have a month to finish it. I read that last year, and once I got into it I kinda liked it. I really didn't want to admit it at first either. People have complained I like too many books though (and too much music. the second oboe at my school claims I like everything we play in band which is... yeah, probably true but that's not the point) The end was... disappointing. Oh, and I only had 2 weeks to read it: the last two weeks of school when I was frothing at the mouth with too much to do. I only had two weeks to read Toni Morrison's Beloved too, which was much scarier. Huck Finn goes somewhat faster.

^How long did the essay have to be?

I did 5 paragraphs, but this was the prompt:
The eighteenth-century British novelist Laurence Sterne wrote, “No body, but he who has felt it, can conceive what a plaguing thing it is to have a man’s mind torn asunder by two projects of equal strength, both obstinately pulling in a contrary direction at the same time.”
From a novel or play choose a character (not necessarily the protagonist) whose mind is pulled in conflicting directions by two compelling desires, ambitions, obligations, or influences. Then, in a well-organized essay, identify each of the two conflicting forces and explain how this conflict within one character illuminates the meaning of the work as a whole. You should use one of the novels or plays listed below for your analysis.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Beloved, A Farewell to Arms, Hamlet,
The Awakening, Macbeth, A Raisin in the Sun, The Scarlet Letter

^Oh wow. That sucks. I just had to write that essay, write a "personal resume" for the teachers to use when we ask for recommendations for scholarships, read another book on writing (which I have yet to do), and I also had an AP Calculus assignment that I'm halfway done with. And I have to have it all done by a week from tomorrow, which is the 1st day of school.
Does anybody else's school make them do summer assignments?

Lucky. I have to do a 5 page reflection on three books. I have to do a 6 page diary on Huck Finn. Thoughts and feelings and a whole other sort of things on it. It should be easy since I'm doing it by chapter, rather than the other 40 or so pages it said to do it by. Then when I'm done with the book, I'll just have to rewrite it and piece it together.

I have to do a 5 page reflection for each of the three books.
I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear enough for you.
