Hi, I'm Caroline, nice to meet you! :D
I am currently taking part in a foreign exchange in Germany. I love to bake and read, but I am also down for a good party or night at the club. I promise to answer your questions the best I can, and I promise to not just tell you what you want to hear.

okay i know this is goiong to sound really wierd but can you guys think of anything to do to keep like "intellectually sharp" over the summer. it always hits me hard when school starts at full blast and next year (11th grade if it helps) is going to be harder than ever with 2 AP classes, 2 college courses and a lot of new responsibility. Anyhow, if anyone has suggestions on like books or games or like anything to keep me thinking this summer...i'd appreciate it.
thanks!! (link)

Your AP classes might have a reading list or over summer assignment. Those are an excellent start, don't wait till the last week of August to start those.
It depends which classes you are taking.
For an english class, I recommend reading these novels:
Their Eyes were Watching God- Zora Neale Hurston
A Prayer For Owen Meany- John Irving
The Poisonwood Bible- Barbara Kingsolver
Catch 22- Joseph Heller
Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte
Chronicle of a Death Foretold- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Stranger- Albert Camus
If you are taking an AP History Class, I would recommend doing the summer assignment maybe watching a few interesting documentaries pertaining to the coming years studies.
If you are taking an AP math coarse, I would spend a few weeks reviewing the things you may have forgotten that might be useful in the next year.
If you are going to take an AP science class, i will assume that you have already taken a beginners course on that subject and suggest reviewing notes and keep up with required knowledge like the periodic table and such.
good luck
and sudoku helps too
=)
