<p>@imhkim honestly it’s not that bad, it’s just more than freshman year. This can probably be attributed to the fact that I’m taking two more classes than I did last year haha. I have a really horrible work ethic and I’ve just always gotten by with my natural ability so I figure that by loading up and becoming a work horse this year I’ll be preparing for junior year which I’ve already accepted will be hellish. I’m usually in bed by 11 so I get by.</p>
<p>I was super lazy freshman year and just stayed up late to finish work when I really could’ve avoided it. I managed to get by but this year is tougher for me because I actually have to put a lot of time and effort into my work and if I decide to slack off for one day then I’ll get pretty behind. Like Swinter, I’m also trying to improve my work ethic to prepare for junior year.</p>
<p>@Slytherclaw12- I used the red algebra 2 textbook (it’s from Glencoe McGraw Hill). But my math tutor has a daughter who had just finished algebra 2 (and we go to the same school), so she also taught me additional stuff that were from school but not from the textbook. </p>
<p>@oonawong238- Okay wow that seems like so much work. How many honors/advanced/ AP classes are you taking though? I’m probably taking a lot less than you are, so I hope it’s not as bad 
Good luck to you!</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- hahah good luck to you and your AP World History! Even if that class is offered to sophomores, I probably wouldn’t have taken it anyway hahah I hate history :(</p>
<p>@taenykiss- LOL awww Don’t worry though, because it’s not like he’s gonna really matter to you anyway. 
And also, a lot of people fall asleep in class though so he shouldn’t really have that much hatred towards you 
Good luck with your relationship, though!</p>
<p>@Swinter- I’m taking one more honors class and also an additional elective class which I did NOT want to take D: I didn’t get my first choice elective and I’m really upset because I really wanted to take that class But anyway, yeah, junior year is going to be so bad and I don’t even want to think about it LOL Good luck to you! And 11 is so early!</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld- I ALWAYS stay up late to finish work too D: I’m actually lazy myself too, cuz I always finish my science labs the day before they’re due LOL I really need to do that too. I use an iPhone so I decided to use the “Do not disturb” thing and also purposely disable my phone lol Good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Same as letmeseetheworld, 9th grade I was super lazy hahah. Only instead of procrastinating, I did all my homework in class so I would just go home and do whatever I wanted. Studying didn’t take that much time, the only class I wish I put more effort into was AP World (history is always my worst subject).</p>
<p>I’m willing to put in a lot more effort this year (and actually do work at home/study), but judging from what you guys are saying, I’m kind of scared now… D: I’m taking AP Stats too…are any of you taking that class/another AP class besides history?</p>
<p>They lessened the course load for some people at my school by canceling honors bio, but that doesn’t change anything for me so here at home I lie in wait for school to start</p>
<p>^ Same with the lying-in-bed part, I finished all my summer homework and school doesn’t start until September 9th, so I’m re-writing some of my assignments. Nothing better to do. :P</p>
<p>I’m going to reread my summer book and review on sparknotes, because I know that there’s going to be an in class essay or a project based on that. Have you guys read “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?” That’s my summer book! It’s short and pretty interesting, actually. </p>
<p>Yeah, I go on my bed all the time too. I better quit that habit when school starts! </p>
<p>Like you, catchinginfinity, I did half of my English homework in my science class or in lunch. Sometimes, I even skipped lunch to finish homework! I need to promise myself not to do that this year though… It’ll be hard though since I have English after lunch this year too… Oh and yeah, I’m going to take AP Stats in junior year! What’s it like?</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- We’ve talked a lot on this site, and my phone recognizes your username so whenever I try to put your name and just type in catchingin, autocorrect assumes it as catchinginfinity LOL I find this so hilarious hahahahahaahaha</p>
<p>@imhkim -Haha yup, but if I ever apply for a summer camp next year and it requires that I get a rec from my “sophomore-year English teacher”, I am so screwed. Also, he’s the AP English teacher at my school… but I mean, I guess he’s not going to sabotage my grades just because I almost fell asleep.</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld - ahahahha me tooo ಥ_ಥ I need to learn to stop procrastinating. Really. And as I write this, I’m obviously cheating on my homework with CC. An affair, mang. And I don’t even know why I just wrote that. I blame fatigue.</p>
<p>@imhkim i’m taking six advanced classes…kill me now :p</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld that is pretty much the exact same thing with me</p>
<p>@oona: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ And you call yourself a sophomore? Lol how’s the 6 ap thing going? Are you even getting sleep? && Which ones are you taking?</p>
<p>@imhkim - Hahaha (: Haven’t started school yet, but did the summer homework for stats and I really like it so far! Just worried about the workload because the stats teacher at my school is notorious for her downcurves and amount of work she gives.</p>
<p>Wow, how are some of you taking 6 AP classes already? My school only offers 3 AP classes for sophomores, and you can only fit a maximum of two into your schedule!</p>
<p>I told y’all sophomore year is way more difficult and most if y’all are only in your first week. Lord/whatever you believe in, bless us all.</p>
<p>^LOL, yes. We needed that last part.
It’s only my first week but my teachers didn’t really waste any time with that introduction stuff so we’ve already started learning in the classroom.</p>
<p>If I can manage to stop with the short naps after school then I think I’ll be able to put in a lot more time to actually do work. It’s a little weird sometimes because I’ll finish all my homework or atleast what is the due the next day but then I’ll barely have any time to study. I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like once I actually start doing some ECs and once we get further into the school year. I’m trying to get into the habbit of staying organized and just naturally avoiding distractions if that makes any sense…</p>
<p>@teanny they’re not all AP classes, just advanced…sorry, should have clarified. I’m taking IB-Prep Chemistry, Physics, Algebra II, and English II…and I’m taking AP World History and Government. </p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld, I feel you sister (bro?)</p>
<p>@Oona- haha, oh okay. Nice classes. ^^ Speaking of which, I really wanted to take physics… ;u; But it didn’t fit my schedule so I’m taking business instead. Except business is potentially the most boring class offered at my school… the teacher never smiles. I swear his face is like frozen in a permanent glare. </p>
<p>I love my APUSH teacher though. She’s the sweetest lady ever. Even her voice screams “SWEET! SWEET!” </p>
<p>My APEH teacher, on the other hand… she keeps talking about how the US needs more wars, how democrats never have any idea what they’re talking about, how everyone on welfare is a total douchbag/tax money thief who deserves to starve, etc. Like, everyone’s entitled to their own beliefs, but wow… The least she can do is to not push her beliefs on her students. Parts of her arguments are logical, but for the most part, her words just make me cringe. The worst part? All my classmates agreed with her. Every. Single. One. </p>
<p>----- sorry for long rant.</p>
<p>@taeny - Woah, your teacher actually imposes her political views in class?</p>
<p>@oona - Your school offers both AP and IB classes? That’s so cool, I wish my school did that! There are some super interesting sounding IB classes, like Theory of Knowledge, that I really want to take. Of course AP has to be 1000x more bland. :P</p>
<p>Oh god…I am out of sleep as well…and I only have 4 Ap classes (euro, calc ab/bc, Chemistry and Political Science–aka us government) I was going to take AP Spanish…but I was like hell to the no.</p>
<p>@taenykiss- hahah, don’t worry about it. He can’t really judge you forever for that and he probably won’t remember by the time junior year rolls around and speaking of business… I’m going to take an accounting class and it seems so boring D: </p>
<p>@oonawong238- whoa, six is a lot! good luck! man, you must be busy every day lol</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- awww, good luck! but since you really like it, your grades will most likey be good so the curves won’t affect you as much good luck!</p>
<p>@Highschool2016- I didnt start school yet, but you’re probably right lol thanks for the heads up (y) </p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld- ikr! teachers are really cheerful on the first day… but then on the second day, theyre all right down to business. I miss elementary school where teachers took a month to help us get settled LOL</p>
<p>@sazhassan- LOL I love your info in the location box. and only four AP’s? hahahaha maximum I could take is three, but I guess with two/ three more honors <- pretty much my junior year schedule. Good luck!</p>
