@superstarla: Yeah, but it's the only way I can have experience with Physics before college.

@artsygirl: My school would never allow a sophomore to take AP Calc. It has always been a senior year class for some reason. Plus, they only offer AP Calc AB. But I am pushing my administration to let me take BC online.

That sounds like fun! Haha, I think Physics B is more my speed.

My senior year I am really cracking down and getting ready for the pre med track.

@bricksquad: I would say so. There are numerous threads on people self studying Physics C with just Calc AB experience.

Idk in 8th grade we did basic Physics which I hated, but this year I took Honors Physocs which I loved! And I started liking math this year also. I mean I would have taken BC anyway, but you know...

My school offers Honors Physics but the teacher is an idiot who has never taught anything besides Biology. Glad I dropped that class...

^ Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better now.

Are Calculus and Psychology not honors? And I'm so jealous that you are taking AP Latin!

~Yay~ I'm taking two sciences too, AP Biology and AP Chemistry. When school starts up again, we should make a thread called "The New AP Biology" or something like that. I had choice to whether to take AP US or Amer Studies II, I chose Amer Studies II, I hate history enough, I don't want an AP class of it lol. But nice schedule though.

Wow, this thread as well as many other on HSL are almost nonexistent right now. I guess everyone is busy with their summer activities and what not.

Just seven more days and I will be at SVSM for a month, can't wait!

Hey guys! I'm at the VA Latin Governor's school right now, and they don't allow any internet or cell phones! I'm a week in, and they *graciously* allowed us to use computers for an hour. Two weeks to go! I hope everyone is enjoying their summers.
