haha, hopefully.... is it just me or is this forum extremely empty? from the looks of things there are quite a few IB kids around, but i don't see this forum being updated nearly as much as the ap test forums...

^^ almost a majority of those classes except change Chemistry to Biology, Calculus to Math, add IB Spanish 3, plus the electives of Physics and Marching/Concert Band. And IB is overshadowed by AP and Honors students! I feel there are more of us, but it's like they barely exist hiding behind the obsession of AP scores! *sorry, rant*

I'm taking IB English HL, IB French 5, IB Film HL and IB History HL. On a side note, I found out that the French teacher who I had last year who can't teach French "left" the school so I won't have her yayyyyy. Haha forgot to mention I'm not a diploma student. I'm taking those IB classes as certificate alone with AP Chem and Honors Precalc

It's been dead for a week or so, but I'll revive it anyway.

I'm doing the IB Diploma, which is scaring me because of the horror stories that former IB students and IB teachers are telling me. But I'll take a whack at it anyway. I'm taking:

IB Math HL, IB Biology HL, IB Spanish HL, IB English HL, IB Latin SL, and IB History SL.

IB History is killing me. So. Many. Notes. And I'm by a good note taker. IB English sucks. One of my favorite teachers teaches it but I got stuck with like the worst English teacher who hasn't done anything with us and I can't switch because of IB Film, Though IB Film is so fun so I'm not going to drop it to get that English teacher. And lastly IB French is wonderful after last year having a teacher who could barely speak French, my new teacher is amazing!

Just got my schedule today. They totally screwed everything up but it's still better than I expected.

IB Biology HL;
IB History Of The Americas HL;
IB English HL;
IB Psychology HL;
IB Spanish SL;
IB Math SL;
TOK (Starting next semester)

And I was supposed to get Physics SL but I guess that didn't show up on my schedule. I think it was meant to be though, that's way too much work

Yay, no sleep till 2014! o.o
