I've pretty much read everything we read in my English class this year, The Road, 1984, Brave New World, etc.

Oh no it's not the teachers it's the students.
And Animal Farm? Please, that's like 100 pages long and not a very hard read. Read The Fountainhead if you want to "impress" your teachers, although they won't care anyway. The teachers expect you to be adults because they're training you to be an adult. That's essentially what school is. It's just lazy teenagers who don't get that and act like they're 5, which gives the image that all teenagers are 5. It's a vicious cycle. |
I'll have to check Fountainhead out. Also, I learned that Brave New World is on the required reading list for E1H, but I already read it and don't like re-reading books  /firstworldproblems |
I had to read A Brave New World for IB English this summer  I liked 1984 better.

Your not attending Oxford like all stereotypical British people? |
I actually know somebody who got into Cambridge this year.
I wish I was clever enough for that. It'd have probably been useful

I didn't have any friends holding me back. |
Speaking of which, today I tried to convert one of my friends to become a brony. He declined, and when I asked him why, he responded "Whose little ponies are they?!". "Equistria's" I said under my breath. |
Sounds like you had a productive day
