help making things manageable?

<p>hi, i’m a junior working out my senior schedule, and i have a problem that many would say isn’t a problem but i’m actually having a lot of trouble with it. all of my teachers are recommending me for the AP classes next year and basically won’t let me drop down a level, but i really don’t think i can handle the workload. </p>

<p>here’s what my schedule will look like if i don’t change anything:
AP Euro <a href=“hardest%20humanities%20class%20in%20the%20school,%20but%20worth%20it”>I</a>*
AP Calc BC <a href=“hardest%20math%20class%20in%20the%20school%20unless%20you%20got%20tutored%20in%206th%20grade%20to%20skip%202%20courses%20in%207th”>I</a>*
AP English <a href=“supposed%20to%20be%20super%20hard,%20teacher%20is%20rumored%20to%20be%20a%20serial%20killer”>I</a>*
AP French <a href=“don’t%20think%20this%20should%20be%20too%20bad”>I</a>*
Honors International Relations <a href=“not%20too%20much%20work%20and%20really%20fun”>I</a>*
Peer Mentoring <a href=“a%20lot%20of%20work%20but%20it’s%20worth%20it”>I</a>*
Bioethics <a href=“unleveled%20so%20it%20shouldn’t%20be%20too%20bad”>I</a>*
Chorus <a href=“fun,%20stress-reliever”>I</a> *</p>

<p>so what i’m basically worried about is euro, calc, and english. i don’t want to drop euro (only offered at the AP level) b/c history is my favorite subject, and i’m hesitant to drop to calc AB b/c i feel like it’ll be too easy and the teacher for that is supposed to be horrible (while the BC calc teacher is awesome). i don’t want to do AP english, but my english teacher won’t even think about me not doing AP and my dad won’t let me drop down a level either. so i really don’t know what to do. </p>

<p>so here are the solutions that i can think of:
**1.**try to deal with my teacher and my dad and think of a way to drop AP english even though i’m concerned that the accelerated class will be too easy
**2.**drop to AB b/c even though i love math it’s not what i want to do with my life, so maybe i should focus on other things
**3.**drop bioethics which is my only semblance of a science class to give me more time to study for the other classes
**4.**pick this schedule for right now and figure out what to drop down in early senior year, since the school seems to make that process fairly easy.</p>

<p>what do you guys think i should do? do you think one of the above solutions is a good idea? do you have any other suggestions?</p>

<p>thanks so much for your advice!! :)</p>

<p>anyone???</p>
