The Joy of Spring Break

Ah, spring is in the air; flowers are in bloom, the sun is shinning and we can  finally take off those heavy layers.  So how will I use this free time in the gorgeous weather?  By studying, of course. 

            Nothing compares to the delight I feel every time I open my heavy AP Bio textbook, flip through my IB Math textbook or complete another SAT practice test. 

As fortunate as I am to have the pleasure of studying for various IB and AP tests, I am also blessed with a major project.

            Obviously, it hasn’t been all fun and books.  I have been dragged out of my room to participate in some of those grueling, typical teenage activities such as shopping and partying.  I’ve even left the comforts of my room for tennis, biking and running. 

            Yet, the vast majority of my time is spent in here, in my room, books spraweled along the floor and much to be accomplished.
