<p>@TheAtlantic that sounds pretty great. good luck in the next tourney!</p>
<p>@jlh6612 I’m taking journalism too :)</p>
<p>Ugh I really need to study for my french test tomorrow, but I can’t stop procrastinating…
Any help?</p>
<p>^whats it on? We haven’t had any tests in French yet. We have just been reviewing. Just do it. Study for 20-30 minutes then take 5-10 and take a walk or something. Turn of your computer or phone and get off CC.</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity Oops. Different time zones, I guess.</p>
<p>I feel like I haven’t been on CC since forever! I have school today! Well my first day (also a half day) was on Wednesday, but I didn’t have school on Thurs and Fri. Today is my second day! </p>
<p>Well, good luck to everyone! </p>
<p>I can actually feel the workload increasing already. Sophomore year is going to be harder than I had thought 
Im going to study my butt off to get straight A’s this year… On top of schoolwork, I have SAT prep classes (3 hours a week) and SAT hw too so I really need manage my time wisely… :(</p>
<p>What are some stories you guys have heard about the workload of previous classes? Here’s mine:
A mentally incapable teacher (declared by the district) made her class analyze every other sentence of a 500 page book which ended in a 50+ page book report and the worst part is that the teacher didn’t even grade it.</p>
<p>Is it even normal to have this bad of a transition into sophomore year or did some of us just get unlucky?</p>
<p>I feel like some of us got unlucky. I don’t think the other people in my grade are having an exceptionally hard time and there aren’t a lot of thread about how difficult sophomore year was last year. Sophomore year is just regarded as unimportant so I guess we all underestimated it.
Junior year is going to be killer. I don’t really understand why it’s going to be that bad i already decided to some extent when I’ll take my SATs. And what subject tests sure the work will be more difficult,But I’ll be older and hopefully smarter. I’m working on picking some colleges this year. I probably won’t join any new clubs next year. So? </p>
<p>Are you guys going to take an easy senior year or a hard one?</p>
<p>Just about everyone I know is having a horrible transition into 10th grade.</p>
<p>Everyone here is royally ******* up</p>
<p>So I have a question. I plan to take chem 2 next year. Actually I am quite sure that I will be taking chem 2 next year and maybe bio 2 as well. Or Anatomy and chem 2 not sure. Anyway should I take the chem PSAT this year or next year after Chem 2. I’m not sure which would be better.</p>
<p>First day of school today…not sure what to make of it. Seems like a lot of work, spent about 4 hours on homework and I have a quiz tomorrow (it was supposed to be a pop quiz today, but the teacher decided to be nice…). But it actually went pretty smoothly, I had a lot of friends in my classes! Stats and health were both super small classes, around 10 people. As of right now, I have a 115 GPA because of a 100 on a summer assignment and the AP curve at my school…definitely going down in the next few days. :P</p>
<p>@55 - I would just take it next year, although I’m not sure how rigorous Chem 1 and Chem 2 are in your school. Are they equivalent to AP/IB classes or honors classes? (Or regular?)</p>
<p>Really sad because my flute teacher (out of school) emailed me saying she was really upset with me because it seemed as if I was angry with her…I’m kind of introverted/quiet around her and probably gave her the wrong impression. That whole email really put me in a bad mood and school wasn’t the best today. ):</p>
<p>This year is one of those years where u just gotta start prepping for college, says my mom. I’m in one ap class right now, have a gpa of 4.0 unweighted, but rank 32. Do a bunch of extra curricular activities without much presentable recognition in any. SAT score is also around 1900… Anyone in the same boat? What can I do to shoot for a top 10 school?</p>
<p>Honors I think. Chem one is and honors class & so is chem 2. We only have two APs neither of which are sciences. but we have Chem 2, bio 2, physics 2 and I believe they are all honors. I think I’ll wait and take some other ones with chem next year probably math 2 and another 1.</p>
<p>@ThePedestrian - Probably clich</p>
<p>@55al00m- Yeah, go with what you wrote in your last sentence hahah probs the best plan (y)
@catchinginfinity- awww sorry to hear that! hmmm email her back and let her know that you weren’t actually mad at her to clear up the confusion and misunderstanding 
@ThePedestrian- same with you, have around 1900 SAT (1880 to be exact) but that’s my superscore lol my one sitting test isn’t in the 1800’s 
I don’t need to go to the top ivy leagues haha that’s a pretty good gpa so far! and your rank depends on the number of students in total lol my school doesn’t do ranks because my school is competitive already and doesn’t want to make it even more competitve haha but yeah, I agree with catchinginfinity. just trying to be realistic and honest (beneficial for you) you kinda need to raise your sat score to get into top 10</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- haha yep I know I’m working on raising my score… Taking some princeton review lasses actually.
But ok here’s where i have a question. I’m in my county teen court, speech and debate team, model un, and mock trial. I’m really into debate and politics…any clubs I can start to Achieve this. Or any internships u guys heard of… Just trin to get some ideas :P</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- at my school, an A in a course is 4 points. Honors classes 5 points, and AP classes 6 points. So unweighted gpa of 4.0 means all As.</p>
