Finished reading "The Joy Luck Club" and the College Essay guide! Now all I need d to do regarding english homework is to write a diary entry/ies as one of the characters in the novel, which is easy. I also started brainstorming for my college essay and the topic I chose was: living away from my parents with other relatives in Philippines and how that shaped me as a person and fantasizing what it's like to be in America (and when I finally arrived here, it was different)....I figured that topic shouldn't take much thinking because I still remember how I felt then. It is still fresh in my memory, rather than those topics that incorporate a quote or song lyric to one's life, something about challenges one has faced, and those about how one comes of age. So I shall work on those two creative pieces when I get into my writing mood later.

Now that english is 50% done, I can finally work on AP US. Since I woke up early today, I have a good amount of time to work on this if I seriously put distractions aside. My goal today is to read the textbook until the beginning of the American Revolution, to work on the 26 response questions in chronological order, to pay attention about the details I can put for the first essay, and to research a bit for the second essay. That leaves the weekend and Monday to write the first essay and to continue the research to write the second essay. I should be done HOPEFULLY by Monday morning so that in the afternoon and at night, I can just mentally and physically prepare for Tuesday, the first day of school.

I MUST AVOID DISTRACTON AT ALL COST. AND I NEED TO WAKE UP EARLY ONCE AGAIN!

That being said, I have all my basic supplies ready. I need the extra ones, but those can wait. About my first-day outfit? Still need to figure it out. But that shouldn't take too long.

Now is the time to ACT.
