     AP Euro is an enjoyable class if you make it so, however if you decide it's what you want it can be your worst enemy, and it'll happen in the blink of an eye too. Euro affords you the opportunity to either start your work extremely early and budget out your time, or you can start the night before and get it done all the same, but the difference here is that your grade on the work itself is reflective of the quality of it, not what you have done which is a harsh lesson that you'll have to keep in mind. The class is relatively easy going if you stay on top of things, like taking notes on the chapters for reading checks, actually reading in the first place, and word of advice for the reading, don't read to read, read the text as if you're familiarizing yourself with where everything is, that way you'd probably understand a lot more than if you just read. Mrs. Salisbury is very good at giving second chances and will allow you to correct reading checks. Blogs are important, don't ignore them, if anything complete them the day they are assigned, I was terrible about completing them, and regret it. Among the things to watch out for in the class is making Mrs. Salisbury angry, she's very easy going, reasonable, and can be negotiated with, but should you make her angry with you all of that goes out the door, she isn't afraid of burning you to set a precedent for the future which isn't a bad thing, maybe for you, but in the long run will cause her less stress. Among the biggest things that needs to be stressed for you to pass this class is be sure you actually understand the material, don't blow past what you don't know because it will come back to haunt you in the end with the exam, it can and will be rough. Expect a lot of nights where you don't know what you're doing if you aren't organized and can't budget your time, and if you don't know how to budget time or stay on top of things you better learn because this class will not be merciful with assignments being due. Don't underestimate how stressful and imbalanced one class can make your schedule, but don't let it scare you away either, this class will teach you how to act right as a student, but only if you let it. TL;DR- Manage your time, don't come to class unprepared, stay on top of everything as it comes, and do not ever anger Mrs. Salisubry. As she would say herself, "Good luck, and Godspeed."
