<p>@MutaRiSC: Always wanted to gymnastics when I was younger after I watched them on TV two or three Olympics ago, but I never got the chance to. </p>
<p>Plus you’re right, I definitely would be picking up chicks … literally. Hoisting 120 pound girls into the air by yourself is pretty dang tough. :D</p>
<p>Are you guys ready for junior year or what? :)</p>
<p>@rob1995</p>
<p>Lol I can barely remember Beijing olympics</p>
<p>and yeah, I’m pumped/psyched/whatever about Junior year. I want to do significantly more than last year :)</p>
<p>Hey guys & gals … Lots of new faces i see…erm usernames. (: i know im late but welcome to 2014ers. 
<em>scatters off into the sunet</em>
Live for today, plan for tomorrow.</p>
<p>I’m so excited! Except for all the essays of course. But I don’t know what it is… saying that I’m a junior makes me feel cool.</p>
<p>So, how 'bout them Olympics? You guys watchin?</p>
<p>A little bit of table tennis, water polo, and football. Nothing else is really going to interest me until wrestling and field events come on in a few days.</p>
<p>The Olympics sparked an interest in field hockey for me. It seems like it’d be a blast to play.</p>
<p>LOL I’m a loser I don’t watch the Olympics~ I didn’t even know the Olympics were this year until I came to CC. xD</p>
<p>AND NO I AM NOT READY FOR JUNIOR YEAR. Sort of. I love my friends and I want to go back, but I have one week to finish all of my summer reading notes (which I decided to slack off on until last minute; I’m a genius, yes I am.), and read over every single AP study guide and Campbell’s hahahahahahahahahaha.
WOOOOO.</p>
<p>Olympics is very interesting! Especially swimming and gymnastics. Poor Jordyn Weiber got knocked out of competing for the All-Around title 
She wanted it so bad. </p>
<p>I’m another upcoming Junior!!! Excited and nervous at the same time…</p>
<p>@aj1996 I’d recommend the big Jansport backpack. Its the one with 5 zippers, not 2. I don’t know if it will carry every single thing you need, but its huge and its durable. Good luck!</p>
<p>Yay, a fellow IB student a few pages back! I have a very similar schedule to you, except I’m taking IB chem HL and instead of Music theory(because my experience with honors music theory has taught me to hate it) I decided to do IB Psychology. I don’t think they allow you to change your group 6 (humanities courses and 2nd language) into another science but of course I don’t know how IB is set up at your school.
Everything else is about the same and hopefully it isn’t overkill as I think it will become.</p>
<p>EC’s: Robotics, Key Club, Relay for Life, Academic Decathlon, African American History Challenge, Upward Bound, Tennis, Possibly Science Olympiad, Possibly Track, Will Apply for NHS and Boys State at end of Junior Year.</p>
<p>Dude, I have to teach myself trigonometry, polar equations, parametric equations, matrices, vectors, as well as do 100 APUSH study questions, write an essay, and do 50 AP Biology study questions, all in 3 days. ._____________.</p>
<p>(or i can go in shame the first day of school and say that i didn’t do what i said i was going to do … not sure which is worse)</p>
<p>And everytime I get like 10 minutes of work done, I go back to playing Orcs Must Die! 2 or StarCraft or vent on CC about how much work I have to do. =/</p>
<p>Watching tennis!</p>
<p>Rob, parametric and polar equations aren’t terribly hard. My teacher taught us those, and vectors in 3 80 min classes. You can do it! </p>
<p>I’m probably going to take Multivariable Calc from EPGY this year and do Linear Algebra/Ordinary Differential Equations my senior year. Hopefully colleges are okay with EPGY classes, cux my school is never going to offer them. :(</p>
<p>That being said.</p>
<p>SO.
NOT.
READY.
For school.</p>
<p>I need to start studying for the million tests I have coming up (SOSO MUCH PROCRASTINATION) and get some apps for some ECs in ASAP. It’s hard to do this when you come home tired from work though :(. My junior year will be hell. I need to micromanage my time and plan everything perfectly and eat healthy and work out everyday for it to work. </p>
<p>I can’t believe we’ve come so far. I remember joining up in April '11 and reading the “Junioritis thread”. Haha…lets hope that’s not us.</p>
<p>Also, anyone have college lists going yet? I have ~25 schools so far, 5 -6 of which are Canadian. If I am fortunate enough to get accepted into my EA, I’ll probably drop at least 10.</p>
<p>^ I have around 15 on my list, but I’d only apply to 4 or so if I got in EA.</p>
<p>I have ~12, probably dropping 9 if I’m lucky with my early choice.</p>
<p>Classic juniors making a college list before even starting 11th grade. Silly kids</p>
<p>Gah, I decided to take AP Physics B, and now I have less than a week to do the summer assignment for it. There goes studying for the SAT and preparing for my other APs…</p>
<p>Also @Cali Junior year is hell for high schoolers and consists of way more work than we’ve ever come close to being used to. It helps to have a list of colleges that encourage you to keep going.</p>
<p>Plus, the summer after junior year is busy as hell and senior year even more so. If we have it ready early, it’s only to our advantage.</p>
<p>Also, go ahead and tell the people in the Parents Forum that. They start looking at colleges from like idek.</p>
<p>god I despise this driving license exam…</p>
