Well we kinda just did like two weeks ago. Haha
Hello everyone,
I’ve been searching and reading this board since the 7th grade. Now that I’m in high school, I decided to make an account.
My schedule this year is:
Biology
Chorale Performance 2
French 2
English 1
Algebra 1
PE 9
World History/Geography
Next Year (hopefully) it will be:
Chorale Performance 3
Chorale Performance 4
French 3
AP Euro
Geometry
PE 10
English 2
Looking forward to getting to know all of you over the next 4 years.
@gracecelia Welcome, fam!
@awesomepolyglot Thanks, wow do you post a lot!
Hey, @gracecelia ! Those are good courses. How’s Biology? Is French fun? You seem to be real into singing. 
I got creamed on the AMC 12B. I’d only even heard about the test a month ago, but… p.p
The time limit got me; I took a totally wrong approach to it! For a good bit I was fine, but I blanked before the first dozen were through and spent half the time working on just one problem (going in numerical order, gah)!
I snapped out of it with five minutes left on the clock, picked and solved one of the later problems, and finished with (from what I could tell) only eight correct of nine answered.
Forty points… :’(
I’ll be prepping for next year, and prolly taking the 10 instead. If I don’t pull this shtick again, I think I… could maybe qualify for the AIME? I dunno.
Hey, @OMPursuit ! First Semester Biology was easy for me (which could be because I am very much a perfectionist)
I love my French class. I was a little apprehensive at first because I had moved into the district (which is the second or third in the state) from a much lower one. Lucky for me, I put in the work in middle school (which gave me a good work ethic) so everything was fine.
And yes I am VERY into singing, theatre, musical theatre and pretty much the arts in general. It’s the field I intend to go into (Broadway is the goal).
Everyone on here seems pretty STEM oriented. I decided in the 7th grade I wanted to be on Broadway, so that is when I set out to learn every bit of info I could about being a musical theatre major. I have had a spreadsheet of colleges for a long time…lol.
There you have it.
Cool! Don’t, erm, feel too pressured towards STEM, or anything @gracecelia . I did a lot of theater in middle school, and I think it’s awesome!
Biology is probably my favorite classes right now, if only because math is moving too slow for my liking. My first semester was fun, but this second semester’s already gone and topped it, material-wise. I’m starting to think I’d like to take more Bio in the future. 
@OMPursuit Funny story, I was actually supposed to take Geometry this year, but decided to retake Algebra (I got a B the first time around. The teacher did not teach) Taking it again and it is very easy. So, if anything I crossed off any STEM career the second I signed up for classes.
I love Bio and my teacher teaches AP Bio. But, her AP Bio students seemed so stressed. I don’t think I’ll continue.
One thing I find interesting looking at all of your schedules is how many Honors and AP classes you ca take as freshman. If you were on a fast math course you could take them. But, the first “real” one is AP Euro. I am big history fan, so I am very excited!
You could always take a math class over the summer, if you’d like to pick up again. I’m not sure if you can ever really sign away anything until deciding Junior year classes- and, even then, that’s a stretch!
I got a B my first time around in Algebra, too. The math was less my problem, so much as the difficulty of actually turning in my homework. :B
Second post, and already she’s noticed my absurd posting habits @gracecelia is savage
I thought Bio would be my favorite, but it’s actually Geometry.
chiming in… Bio is the bestt! I wish I could take AP but I’d have to take physics over the summer to fit it into my schedule :-/
& I can’t wait for geometry to be over lol it just seems like it doesn’t apply to anything
Ohhh, no. Oh, @northeastgirl24 , Geometry will probably be the very most relevant thing you learn in high school mathematics, when applied to the real world. You’ll also find it coming back for physics and chemistry with a vengeance. o.O’
That probably also says something about high school math in general
Well, what can I say @awesomepolyglot
@northeastgirl24 I know that is one thing I am hating. I never have enough room in my schedule. My middle school had a block schedule, so i could take 8 classes. But, I have some friends with only 6 periods… I could never manage that. I already know I will take 7 senior year, so that I can do Pysch or AP Pysch.
Oh and @OMPursuit I know I could always take classes online. But, A) I am such a planner and B) I know what I want to do, so I’m putting a greater emphasis on Language, choir, english and History.
My bio teacher still has not put grades in :-w. I have the same math and english teacher as I had last semester, but it is really boring and I just want to get up and leave the classroom. We are reviewing factoring in math and idk why because we have literally done it since Math I.
Idk if it is like this in other schools for algebra ii, but I think the entirety of the class at my school revolves around functions, graphing, and logarithms.
I thought it was polynomials for a while @neophite
then I was wrong :’(
I placed 16th in the state on the National German Exam!
Our mock trial team is going on to the county semis!!
My friend posted two posts in all caps and got them deleted!
