@adiacs OMG I did that last summer and almost killed myself. SOOO boring
Update: I just paced where I ran and with my perfect 5-foot paces it’s 830 paces so about 4150 feet plus or minus a few hundred feet bc my 5-foot paces ain’t so perfect on hills

I was very close to tagging you and saying “don’t say anything” @literallyliteral
PM me to join the Swede Squad
@awesomepolyglot i would’ve said something but i was too tired after my 5 mile run
jk love you its the thought that counts
Only about 275 Khan Academy videos left to watch and I’m done with trig and precalc.
Only
Summer just began and already I’m excited for sophomore year… 0.0
I can’t wait for Latin classes and my new school!!
What are you guys most excited for in each class? Any anticipations? How do you think the class will be?
Honors English II: They read a lot of interesting books, and one of the teachers who teaches this class also teaches AP English Lang, so she tends to overprepare her English II students. I hope I get her, though.
Honors Chemistry: I really like science, so this is a given. There is so much work, but her students tend to do very well on the NC Final Exam. There is only one chem teacher.
Honors Physics; Another science class that is basically applied math. Aw yiss, I’m anticipating this the most. The teacher who teaches physics also teaches AP Calc, so I’ll have her for two periods. That leads into…
AP Calc AB: Boi, math is my life so I cannot wait. Gotta make that 5 on the exam or I’ll prolly die. People have said that the class was hard, so we will see. This class is two semesters long…damn…
AP Psychology: I like psychology, and I had the teacher this past school year for American History, so I know how he runs things. I’ve already read a lot of the Barrons prep book, so I don’t think it’ll be hard. He’s a good teacher.
PLTW Intro to Engineering Design: I don’t know what to expect, but I think it’s just math applied to architectural engineering? Not sure.
PLTW Digital Electronics: Same thing as IED, I don’t know what to expect. Same teacher as IED, though.
4 female teachers, 1 male.
As opposed to my 5 male, 1 female teacher schedule this year.
Going to post AP Score Distributions like one of the CO '15ers did last year.

@IrrationalPepsi Aw, crap, that APHG distribution kinda sucks!
Okay, classes:
AP Bio: I know who I’m going to have. She’s nice. I’m really, really excited for this class. I’m one of maybe 10 sophomores taking it. This will probably be my most time-consuming class, and there will be so many quizlet sets. So many. This is usually offered in the morning with 2 sections.
H Chem: I’m going to have one of three teachers. One is the Science Olympiad and Science Bowl sponsor and she’s really nice AND organized; one’s more or less universally disliked because he teaches like a professor; and one I don’t know, but who brought in green doughnuts on St. Patrick’s Day. This one will probably also be a lot of work, but I have a Chemistry for Dummies book that I’m taking to camp to read during rest period. Balancing chemical reactions was my favorite part of 8th grade science, so I’m excited to actually get good at it.
H Algebra 2: Bleh. I don’t really like algebra, but I’ll be doing a bunch on Khan Academy during the last three weeks of summer after camp and before school. Hopefully this won’t be too bad.
H German 3: I’ve had this teacher since eighth grade. He’s a pretty good teacher, but a lot of people didn’t do too well in Germans 1 and 2 because they simply don’t care. We’re getting leveled readers next year and the class will only have roughly 15 people in it. We’re going to learn the genitive case and weird verb stuff 
I’m really excited. Hopefully I’ll have it in the morning so I can get the homework done during homeroom. Also, we’re moving from a portable (the portable itself is moving half a mile to the elementary school, where the principal calls them “learning cottages”) to the actual building! Plus, it’s going to be in the freshmen hall, so I can see my friends in 9th grade. This one won’t be first period or fifth or sixth.
H String Orchestra: Well, hopefully H. I could be placed in the standard class. Bleh. I’m not really sure why I signed up for this class. I know my teacher, and she’s cool as a person, but likes to overestimate everybody’s skill level and hand is stuff like Sinfonia II D-Dur. She has played the violin for 93.333% of her life. This will probably be 5th period.
H English 2: The awful teacher is gone. I’ve heard great things about my biology teacher’s wife, who teaches 2 Honors. I’ve heard meh things about the other 2 Honors teacher. This shouldn’t be too bad.
PE 2: Stupid class. They only do stuff 2-3 days a week. Most of the time there’s a 1-2 page worksheet and then it’s a study hall. Good, because I don’t have a study hall.
Personal Finance: See PE 2. Plus, all quizzes and tests except the final are open note, open book. This one might be in a portable.
All told, I’m pretty excited! I’ll also be insanely busy with extracurriculars, so…
Something I forgot:
Classes I will not have with my sister:
AP Bio
H German 3
PE 2
Personal Finance
Classes I could have with my sister:
H Chem
H Algebra 2
H English 2
Classes I will almost certainly have with my sister:
H (?) String Orchestra
@awesomepolyglot, class with your sister? Ew lol

That is all so far.
@IrrationalPepsi Yeah, we’re twins…
Wow, AP Calc BC is surprising - almost half got a 5! That makes me optimistic 
And then there’s APES, with only around 12% of people getting a 5. Sigh.
@greenlegobrick, same here! I can’t wait for school to start, yet my extensive amount of summer work still needs to get done. Cries
English 2 Honors: Not excited for this class, I like English but at school they make the class so unlikeable.
AP World History: I don’t have anything to say, having the the lowest percentage of 5s given out is kind of scary though.
French 2: hopefully I get the same teacher I had last year because everyone hates the other French teacher. But she’s pregnant so she’s probably gonna have to miss a couple weeks during the school year. I like french though.
Mircosoft Excel and Access Honors: I’m not very excited for this, I rather have Creative Writing IHonors. Hopefully it’s an easy blow off class like Microsoft Word/PowerPoint.
AP Environmental Science: it’s a flip class (watch videos at home and discuss it in class)which I don’t like, I like being able to take notes, but I think I’ll like this class!
Math III Honors: I hate math.
Chemistry Honors: I don’t how I feel about this class. I haven’t had much exposure to chemistry, so I don’t have an opinion. I hope I get a good teacher though, there’s I think one good one, a few ok, and a few bad ones.
AP Government and Politics: Kind of scared for this class because it used to be just a junior/senior class but they opened it up to sophomores this year. I think it will be pretty interesting.
Honors Brit Lit: I’ve heard from previous students it was really rigorous, but interesting as well, so I’m excited for it.
AP Chem: Everyone says it’s cancer at its finest. :’(
Honors Pre-Calculus: People say it’s hard as well, and add on the fact that math is my worst subject. :((
Modern World History: it’s not an honors class or anything, so I’m not that scared for it. People who took the honors version of it (as a freshman) said it was just an easy A class.
Spanish 2: Personally I’m not that worried about it; I just expect a lot of memorizing, like Spanish 1.
ROP Visual Imagery: The course I’m most excited for, but I might have to wait till junior or senior year to take it 
AP USH 1 (nj splits it into 2 years??): super excited!! Our summer work is pretty interesting so off to a good start plus early American history is one of my fave topics. the teacher is notorious for barely ever giving out As though
H English 2: eh- should go just fine, not particularly intriguing to me
H Chem: also totally pumped here I’ve heard the content is sometimes a little iffy but we’ll see
Alg 2: I was signed up for honors but I recently switched it- I just don’t have the motivation for math lol so hopefully this will just be a breeze since its regular
Latin II: love the class. love the teacher. love the people taking it. :x plus the teacher is taking some kids to Rome for spring break this year and I’m planning on going:)
