So, it's the end of the school year where I live once again and, on a degree greater than any other year before, I've got too much to do and was given little warning time for any of it. Last month witnessed two AP exams and an SAT (I did get a 2010, though, so I'm satisfied by that and was planning to take it again in September to maximize my chances of obtaining the highest score I can, anyway.) and that was fine, but from the past week until a bit over two weeks from now will have witnessed too much work... particularly this week and early next week. Of all that I've had to do so far, after those three tests I already mentioned, I've completed working on and presenting my final project for ACE Biology (the equivalent of AP Biology in my area), I've completed working on and presenting my final project for Pre-calculus (yesterday), and I've taken two subject SATs (the most recent Saturday).

I still have to complete a project for the class I'm taking for my fine arts credit (project isn't hard, but there's just so much to it that it's overly time-consuming and tedious) by either Monday or Tuesday of next week, I've still got to organize and present a speech (Friday) for my AP English course, I've still got to write a research paper for my AP English course by Tuesday, I've still got to spend my evening tomorrow shopping for required clothing for a choir concert, I've spent my entire evening today mowing the lawn and going to a required AP student/parent meeting, I still have to research and write an AP U.S. History research paper (counts as my final exam grade) that I haven't even started due to having both no in-class research time nor any free time to go to my school's library and do research (meaning I won't have a lunch for a couple days while I go do that.) and is due Tuesday, I've still got to do my review packet and study for my Pre-Calculus final exam on Tuesday, I've still got to take an ACT throughout the entirety of Saturday morning/noon, and then later on Saturday, I have to attend the concert I mentioned earlier that will take up my entire evening.

On top of this, I still have any homework being assigned aside from this and I have no time to do it nor do I have time to relax. There's too much to do and I haven't had much time to do any of it since I was even assigned them all too recently. After all this, I then have several Regents exams occupying part of next week and part of the week after. Honestly, I don't know how I'll be able to handle it. I've basically had no weekend off this last weekend and definitely won't have a weekend off this weekend, it's unbearably hot and humid in my school (no air-conditioning), I'm so exhausted that my eyes constantly feel heavy and I just want to sleep all the time, let alone at home, and I'm ready for summer, but hate this large obstacle of tedium I have to get through, first.

So, who else is feeling the pressure of a year's end, how are you coping with it, and why are teachers such poor communicators with each other as to think their students must not have work from other classes?
