<p>I WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS GOMDORRI.</p>
<p>Since schedules are a lame topic of discussion, how is everyone’s summer going?</p>
<p>THANK YOU!
I haven’t even received my schedule yet anyways.</p>
<p>And summer is dull. Basically killing time. XDDD</p>
<p>I got my schedule weeks ago lol, however, they didn’t put the teachers on there. I know who the AP Chemistry and the AP Biology teacher is, but It’s good to know the others. There are some teachers in my school who just get on my nerves.</p>
<p>My summer is dull too. I’m waiting for my SAT book to get here… that’s how dull it is haha.</p>
<p>I haven’t even ordered a SAT book yet~! I guess I need to.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s probably a good idea to get it as soon as you can. I’m not going to have much time during the school year to study so I need to do as much as I can right now. I’m just mad that I took this long to get it… I go back to school in like three weeks. :/</p>
<p>Along with that, I need a ACT prep book. I go back to school August 27th.</p>
<p>Same - I go back in 3 weeks. I have a LOT of summer work.</p>
<p>I need to do a 300 question APUSH study packet, write an essay, and self-study all of trigonometry in the next 3 weeks. ;____;</p>
<p>^ Ewww~ All I have to do is read 3 chapters in the old AP Chemistry book :P</p>
<p>I’m lucky because I have no summer work! Sadly, I go back to school August 13th and unlike some I’ve had gotten 4 SATs and 1 ACT books since the beginning of this year (got them from my older brother) and they been sitting under a chair in my room since January.</p>
<p>I have so much. I have to read 2 books and do 2 assignments for each. I have a 12 page Chem packet and a 5 page Pre-cal packet btu I finished the math one</p>
<p>Our school isn’t allowed to give summer work, but the AP Chemistry teacher recommended reading out of the old AP book.</p>
<p>I have to read 4 books:(</p>
<p>^ I know that feel, bro. :(</p>
<p>Strangely enough <em>knock on wood</em>, I’ve never gotten summer work from any school I went to.
Like, they gave us a recommended reading list, but not a- you must do XYZ chapters thing. </p>
<p>My summer is pretty tiring, lately. I’m just constantly worried about stuff :-/. I need to learn how to meditate or something.</p>
<p>Is this an ample schedule for junior year? (Based off of other CCers it seems like a very weak schedule but at my school it is pretty much the max in terms of amount and level of courses). Adv. Pre Calc. Honors, AP US History, Spanish III Honors, Ap Biology, Wind E Band, and English 3. Should I beg to my deans to let me take more courses even though it means I won’t be able to attend some of the classes of these courses? (I was thinking AP Statistics and/or AP psychology). D: D:</p>
<p>@808wawa Your schedule is fine. If you mean by taking those othe classes through self study, then I would advise not because you can spend that time studying for the SAT and/or ACT, which is more important to colleges. Though if you mean change some classes, like band and pre calculus, then you should think about it.</p>
<p>@Peguinone I hate my school and want to graduate somewhat too, but then I don’t want to deal with the problems of the real world as a legal adult.</p>
<p>WHAAAT IS THIS MADNESS.
I go back to school on August 8th. I haven’t even started my summer reading haha… even though I’m really lucky. I’ve seen some of the assignments that people at other high schools have to do over summer vacation. Me? All I have to do is take notes on Harry Potter 6 and Things Fall Apart lolol. </p>
<p>I don’t really care about my class schedule tbh. My school has a fairly poor education and so I’m probably just going to self-study and doodle in all of my classes anyways. I know for sure that I’ll have an elective, Spanish III, AP calc BC, AP English lang, APUSH, and honors chemistry, but apparently my chem teacher is a joke. He makes up equations and “methods” and “rules” to teach the class, and grades homework based off of gender, seat in class, handwriting, and friends. Yay for easy 100s? I’m just going to self AP chem with one of my friends’ textbooks.</p>
<p>And I already bought PR, Barron’s, the BB, and 11 practice tests from PR. I have my cousin’s QA service from Jan 2011 and Kaplan’s 12 tests, as well as several online official practice tests released by collegeboard. Yeah. I think this is overkill but WOOOOOO. I’m taking the SAT in October or November… which may or may not be an extremely stupid idea. I’m only doing it because several of my friends are seniors and I want to hang out with them on test day during breaks so I won’t be lonely and die of test-worry… that and plus my junior friends all take it in June, which is when I’ll be taking SAT IIs.</p>
<p>I hate my school and want to graduate somewhat too, but then I don’t want to deal with the problems of the real world as a legal adult.
^ I don’t necessarily hate my school, but my school isn’t the best in terms of staff, work ethic of the principal, and academics (lol we have snow days whenever there is even an inch of snow roflrofl). I’m grateful though, because though almost 80% of each class goes to college in-state (not selective at all), I have friends and though there are bad aspects of my school, there are also good ones as well. </p>
<p>I don’t want to be legal yet either. xC
Actually, if I could choose any age to stay forever, it would be 13. 13 is borderline child and teenager so I can be youthful and mature without being youthful or mature. That made no sense but it did in my head. ANYWAYS MOVING ON~</p>
<p>My schedule is kind of crazy…
AP Physics C
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
AP English Language
AP US History
AP Art History</p>
<p>should I drop Art and save it for senior year? I think I’ma go insane if I juggle this with all the standardized tests</p>
