<p>Yeah I was just wondering if people would assume that paid internships are not the “coffee-running” type since the organization is actually paying the intern (likely to do a job a tad more productive than running over to Starbucks)</p>
<p>Hey seniors! Yes, you are seniors now. Just want to wish you all good luck next year and do whatever you can to combat senioritis. It infect each senior from the most willing person to the multiple AP 4.0 girl to the already lazy student. You might now feel the same effects and not at the same time but just… fight it.</p>
<p>Also do NOT relax until the very end (unless your last day is on or before AP exams). If you need anything, us freshmen will be in CL.</p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m a rising senior. 
</p>
<p>Courseload:</p>
<p>AP gov
AP stats
AP european history
AP spanish
AP english lit
gym (req)
chorus (meets a req)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Eh, I’d take whatever I could get.</p>
<p>^That is probably one of the more easier schedules on CC (that’s a good thing for seniors).</p>
<p>? wrong thread, mayhap?</p>
<p>My schedule is super hard next year. I don’t know what I’m trying to do to myself.
AP Physics C (haven’t taken Physics since Sophomore year…)
AP BC Calc (Math is easy for me)
AP Stat (again, math=easy)
IB History 2 HL (hardest class ever)
IB English 2 HL (eheh idk yet)
IB French 6 HL (easy because my teacher doesn’t speak French well. I may fail the exam though…)
Theatre 1 (If I don’t get an A, something’s wrong)</p>
<p>@Quiddith if you’re talking about me, I think you misread my post. If you’re talking about the person that posted the schedule then that was in response to my post. </p>
<p>@Superstar… well you can change something. Or my advice, don’t go in with the mindset that these classes are hard. Rather think of them as preparing for extensive college studying (even this studying in college is FAR more difficult because many things are added not just difficulty of classes).</p>
<p>Descuff</p>
<p>I know, but my school doesn’t offer many APs. I’ve taken them all already except Calc & Chemistry.</p>
<p>@Descuff
There’s actually not much I can change. I have to take IB Hist and IB English because they’re 2 year classes. I’m not dropping French now because I’ve already taken it 5 years. I have to take a math and it’s my best subject so why not BC. I need a Science and I love Physics. And then Stat and Theatre are supposed to be my blow-off classes.</p>
<p>Yea like I said after “my advice” Lol.</p>
<p>Ah, I see. I thought my reading comprehension had deteriorated that far, at first when I read that. Then I realized the last post I saw before it became a new page was amissy’s post and there was a reply to that so I assumed we were still talking about the same thing. Ooops. </p>
<p>We keep circling back to schedules… I swear this is the 5th time I’ve talked about my schedule on this thread. And I haven’t been here for that long.</p>
<p>exactly…</p>
<p>anything people? plz?</p>
<p>Ugh, I have legit the worst teacher in the school teach AP Physics. I think he actually tries to fail everyone and he can’t teach, either. I guess I’ll be teaching myself physics this summer.</p>
<p>Has anyone started essays? I’m considering mine.</p>
<p>Still can’t make up my mind between SCEA and ED. :-/</p>
<p>I’ve written my Common App essay, the UChicago extended essay, and three shorter supplements. But they probably need a lot of editing, and I have a bunch of “why this college” essays to write.
I like writing college essays because of the unapologetic narcissism the genre allows. 
But I can only write when I’m in a certain mood, which happens like once every three months.</p>
<p>My essays r betterererererer</p>
<p>None of my schools have their supplements out yet. :(</p>
<p>College essays seem pretty easy to write. Already wrote my common app one. I don’t understand why people stress out so much about it. I just wish the 2013-14 college supplements were out already so I could start on them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think it’s because, at this point, the essay is really the only thing we have control over in the college admissions process. Our grades and test scores and ECs are mostly fixed.
I’ve read a lot of really bad essays, though. Including my own half the time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A lot of them stay the same from year to year. I’ve been writing stuff based on 2012 prompts.</p>
