Summatives, Exams and Books

The month of May (and early June) is always a hectic time for anyone in high school, due to the vast amounts of summative projects and upcoming exams. For me, it means writing essay after essay, and doing presentation after presentation. Making it all slightly easier this year is the introduction of "Turnitin.com" which lets one upload their project (where it will be scanned for plagiarism) and allow the teacher/professor to mark it online. In addition to saving paper, lowers the stress level of having something due the next day (you can hand it in at anytime).

In the next four weeks, I have at least ten or so projects/presentations due, only a handful through Turnitin.com. And then there's the exams. Four if I'm not mistaken.

I recently got several books in the mail. The first one I'm reading is The Late Late Shows' Craig Ferguison's book: "Between the Bridge and River." The other two, by David Sedaris: (I previously read "When You are Engulfed in Flames"), "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" also arrived. According to the reviews they should prove to be funny and a damn good read. When I'll have time for all this reading is yet to make itself obvious.
