<p>I’m taking Classical civisations (ancient history and literature) and Textiles (sewing and stuff) as electives this year and last year. Classics is great, but I wish I hadn’t done textiles. It’s really hard, a huge amount of work and unless I plan on making my own clothes, completely pointless.</p>
<p>I’m probably going to take photography my senior year because we need an art credit and I’m fairly good at taking photos, I guess.</p>
<p>I think taking some electives you’re interested in shows that you aren’t a robot that takes every AP possible and only studies those to seem impressive. I think you seem more realistic and human-like if you take focused elective classes you enjoy. :)</p>
<p><em>GROAN</em> Got my progress report today…A<code>s in Science & English, and B in math…not worried…it</code>s a 93.2, which is easy enough to pull up, and I<code>ve been doing minimal studying, so no biggie. 90.3 in AP W. History and I</code>m really mad at myself…all my friends who didn<code>t do as well for AP are telling me that</code>s great…and I know it is, and I still have almost a whole month to pull it up. But there are other people who have A<code>s…one kid has a 101.7! But for me, no matter how tough the class is, if it</code>s a history class, there<code>s NO excuse for not getting an A, even on a progress report. It</code>s my own fault. I shoudl<code>ve studied a little more and worked a little harder and it would</code>ve made a world of difference. Lesson learned…but we also got these mini-essays back the other day for AP and you could get a 1-4, and our teacher was VERY lenient when grading them…I got a 2 and two 3<code>s…and some got all 4</code>s and most got at least one 4. Writing<code>s my strength so I</code>m mad about that too.</p>
<p>Well now I`m just feeling sorry for myself…sorry to infiltrate this thread with my pity party 
Just needed to vent.</p>
<p>Hey guys! So I’m presenting a webinar on Tuesday, September 25, and I would love for you guys to attend @ 4 PM EST. It’s entitled “Passion + Social Media = Limitless Possibilities”, and it is basically a leadership-oriented webinar, so I assume it would be of great interest to you guys. It’s being sponsored by Greening Forward, the non-profit I work for, so please, please, please attend if you can! I’ll give you the full details if you want.</p>
<p>Tuesday…Ah, I wish I could, but I have to stay after school for SCAEL team until 4:30. Sorry! :(</p>
<p>Since everyone’s posting their prospective schedules… Here I go!</p>

Certamen [Basically Latin jeopardy, goes to State Convention to compete]
Some sort of Science-y thing - I need to talk to my Bio teacher about that
Key Club because I’m getting bored of volunteering at the library</p>
<p>‘B in math… 93.2’</p>
<p>But a 93.2 is an A?
Your scale may be different than ours… but I don’t see how it would be different. <em>Scratches head.</em></p>
<p>Everything’s alright as of now, I’m still learning to budget my time.
This year’s course load is so much scarier than last year’s course load was.</p>
<p>HobbitTon - Dang it, 4 PM EST = 1 PM here.
I’ll be at school.</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore and these are my classes this year:
English 2 Honors
Ceramics 1
AP Human Geography
PE (I HATE sports. I was in Girls’ Tennis for a day and I quit.)
Spanish 2 (There is no spanish 2 honors at my school)
Geometry </p>
<p>I had to retake Algebra -__- I want to take Alg2/Trig Honors this summer, but I don’t know if my school allows that. I’m so weak in math. :(</p>
<p>Also, I really want to self-study for AP Psychology! Do you think I can do it?</p>
<p>My ECs are really weak. I just do some community service hours at this temple next to my house. I’m not in any sports. I’m kind of worried now. I want to join ASB, but I feel like I don’t fit in with them. =/</p>
<p>My Classes this year are:
Theatre Arts
Career & Financial Management
French Honors
Chemistry Honors
P.E.
Global History Honors
Algebra II & Trigonometry Honors
English Honors
Yeah, no AP classes…There are 3 AP’s offered to sophomores at my school:
Biology-could’ve taken, chose not to because upper classmen reccomended Chem first
Art History-didn’t know my school had it until the year started, lol
World History-is a 2yr 9-10th grade course, I could’ve taken it but didn’t because I was just starting school in a new district and didn’t need anymore confusion. </p>
<p>My prospective Junior year schedule will have:
AP Biology (2 periods everyday)
AP US History
AP English Language
College Pre-Calculus
Physics Honors
French Honors
PE…or maybe advanced Pool. Idk</p>
<p>AP World is a two year course at your school? Year long here…</p>
<p>Next years schedule looks great! 
3 AP classes to begin with might be kind of rough, though.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken AP Statistics here? If so, what is your response on the subject?</p>
<p>Isn`t Sophomore a little young to take AP Stats? I only know of juniors and mostly seniors taking it…</p>
<p>AP Stats can be taken after Algebra 2, or concurrently with precalc at the earliest. And from what I read, a lot of people on this site (including myself) take precalc or above their sophomore year.</p>
<p>Well, I forgot there for a minute that my school is mainly rednecks :D…I know a few kids who are taking Pre-Calc this year, none for AP Stats though. Jeez…lucky math people…I`d give anything to have math come so easily to me.</p>
<p>I’m taking AP stats and pre cal next semester! Fun stuff, and math is my worst subject…</p>
<p>Ha. Well, it<code>s not that I disslike math, it</code>s just that I usually have teachers that don`t teach it well, but still, no excuse.</p>
<p>Yep, can be taken concurrently (in fact, is encouraged to be taken concurrently) with Pre-Calculus</p>
<p>Taking it next year :)</p>
<p>I<code>m taking Pre-Calc next year, but I don</code>t know if I could handle AP Stats! :)</p>
<p>Yeah it might be a bit tough :/</p>
<p>The thing is, there’s nothing else I can choose unless I want to double up on science…
Already going to take an AP science next year so idk if I want to do another one…
Stats sounds interesting from what I’ve read 
so I dunno.</p>
<p>What would you choose, if you had to pick from these choices:</p>
<p>A) AP Biology and AP Chem
B) AP Physics and AP Biology
C) AP Biology and AP Stats
D) AP Physics and AP Stats [Hardest option, IMO]</p>
