aw good luck, I’m stressed out as well for this year, but at least you will have lots of stuff on your resume (especially all those leadership positions)!
;_; my textbooks are sooo heavy
For being in IB, I get a free iPad. I couldn’t believe the school just give one to me. It’s the new one too! That way all my textbooks are in my iPad.
Wow, we don’t get anything for being in IB. Except the pleasure of having to pay for 100+ dollars for registration fees and another 100+ dollars to take the test.
After the first few days of school, I’m feeling…pretty good! I have a bunch of homework that I’m not really in the mindset to do (oops!), but overall my classes seem exceptional, even the ones I wasn’t looking forward to before school started. I’m excited for the year ahead and the challenges it will bring-- and the tiny sizes of my math and Latin classes! My math class has six kids and my Latin class has seven; they both have a really cozy, happy feel.
My SL Psychology class has 41 students. I think that’s the biggest non-PE class I’ve had so far.
My AP Chem class is pretty big, considering the size of the classroom. There aren’t enough seats at the tables : /
Also, my textbooks are supposed to be online, but none of mine are : / I’m stuck carrying them around until they’re put online
Okay, my grammar is really bothering me. I just read my last comment. “give” instead of “gave,” what am I doing??? I guess that’s what you get for writing on CC just like you text. When I text my friends, none of us EVER pay attention to grammar or typos, and we make fun of each other when our phones auto-correct to something really embarrassing.
I got my schedule yesterday! I’m quite happy with it, although I’m a little scared for English and Calc (especially Calc, since I need a few LORs for summer programs). All of my teachers are supposed to be really good. I have the same teacher for both of my history classes, so I really hope she likes me. I also hope she won’t think I’m weird for not taking APUSH but taking AP World (a class ordinarily taken by seniors who have already taken APUSHA). Oops.
I have:
US History
Honors English
AP Physics 1
AP World History
AP Calc BC
AP Chemistry
Marching Band (1st semester)
I’m actually pretty excited for next year, although I probably won’t get any sleep.
@dsi411 They don’t give you anything? Well, I guess my school tries to bribe people into doing IB because only 4% of people at my school do it. Yeah, so I have an IB class of 26.
Do you guys prefer small classes or big classes?
Personally, I like small classes because you develop a closer connection to the teacher.
@athenanv13 Well, we get the IB education, but no cool, free stuff like iPads. We have about 100 11th graders in IB so it isn’t as uncommon as it is at your school.
I don’t have much experience with small classes but I like it when a bunch of people in the class are gone (for testing or a field trip or whatever) because it’s more…intimate…I guess.
small classes
I’m still awaiting my schedule for this year…and for school to start. I hate being in the dark.
My counselor told me not to self study ap physics c, but I’m not gonna listen to her 
@Faultystart Haha at least that’s better than me looking for people into linguistics…
I really want to drop choir and take philosophy instead, but my mom won’t let me, calling it a “depressing” subject. 
Yesterday, my cousin seriously tried to convince me to change one of my AP sciences to AP Stats, since it’s a lot easier and it’s very hard to get a 4.0 with my schedule, but I really don’t want to. I suppose part of it is peer pressure (I know people who aren’t as smart who are taking similar schedules, and people who are really smart are taking schedules that are actual murder; as in, no “lite” courses), but I really do love my schedule.
I’ll probably just forgo sleep next year and try not to procrastinate.
Junior year is starting and its SO STRESSFUL!! My parents want me to study for the ACT/SAT, go to college visits, do good in school, volunteer, be social, etc.
Is taking another language messing up your spelling? Like whenever I spell dance I accidentally spell it “danser” just like the French do it. Idk, maybe it’s just me.
Schedule this year:
Precalc H
AP Chem
Physics (they make us take 1 year of reg Physics before AP at my school)
AP Eng Lang & Comp
APUSH
Spanish III
Health/SAT Prep
A Capella choir
