I wonder why I'm still up. I have class at 7 and a DBQ at 8:20 AM. Painfully practicing asceticism all weekend (aka went technologically DEPRIVED), I finished quite a few review books for my upcoming exams. Worried still am I. Look at that inverted sentence.

Pretty much forcing myself not to use the computer, I picked up my copy of Brave New World and started reading. Boy, science fiction really knocks a girl off her feet. This book is disturbingly hilarious, even more so when you discover it was written in 1932. The details are gruesome and the whole idea of a society where recreational sex is encouraged and nuclear families are frowned upon just humors me even more. My favorite part of the book was when the scientists executed the Pavlovian method on the babies by forcing them to associate books and flowers with a disturbing noise. Hilarious. 

Even though the doom of AP exams approaches me,  I am still worried about other things. I worry about the progress of my novel, or lack thereof. NaNoWriMo was successful this year, but I still need to work on editing that suicidal mess (literally). I worry that my writing skills aren't adequate enough, and that I'll do poorly on the lang exam. Worry, worry, worry. Woe is me. 

Fungenda for tomorrow:
(1) Study for Calculus Test
(2) Last podcast of the year
(3) Crucible reading perhaps
(4) French assignment?
(5) Chemistry?
(6) Finish Calculus for Dummies
(7) Take SAT II Math II test from CB
(8) Work on Applications of Derivatives Barron's
(9) Take 1 MC for Lang Prep
(10) Finish Barron's for SAT II History

     = What I can get done in school with perserverence. 

I think I might skip tutoring tomorrow to do work on this :\ It's a shame because I won't get to see Jose! He's taking his last test. EVER. For Gear-Up.
