@literallyliteral Yayyyy you’re out of school! Anyone here still not on summer break?
@IrrationalPepsi Lol
What’s up, guys? I’m gonna catch up on all the stuff that’s been happening (again)… I should come on CC more often!
Classes Next Year & What I’m Excited for in each of them (I don’t know any of my teachers… new school ://)
- English II: I like humanities-related things and we’ll be reading Jane Austen! Looks good–I’m excited.
- AP World History: I’d rather take AP European History than AP World but my school doesn’t offer it…
It’s still my first AP class and I’m super excited for the challenge (plus being with other motivated students)!
- Algebra II: Math isn’t really my strongest subject so I’ll be taking a mini Alg I review course for 5 weeks before starting Alg II so hopefully that’ll help. High five @adiacs I guess we’re both not too keen on doing math.
- Biology: My current school does Physics/Chemistry Lab Science freshman year and Biology sophomore year, but since my new school does Biology freshman year, I’ll be taking this class with freshmen–yay, new friends!
- Latin I: I really, really, really like Latin. I want to be able to old texts in their original language. I’m so, so, so pumped for this class.
- Electives… Ah… I don’t know what electives I’ll be taking yet but I hope I can fit either Mythology or Forensic Science into my schedule.
(By the way, @IrrationalPepsi how do you bold/italicise/underline things here?)
Class Size
Last year (this year?) <- by this I mean freshman year, I was at a school with 3000 students (K-12) and there were around 160 kids in my grade. The high school I’m going to next year (sophomore year) has around 300 students total (Grades 9-12). It’s crazy how there’ll only be 70-80 students in my graduating class 0.0
My plans for my last two years of high school (tentative)
Junior Year: English III, AP US History, Latin II, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Chemistry
Senior Year: AP English Literature, AP Comparative Govt, AP US Govt, Latin III, Calculus
Electives I want to take: Environmental Science, World Religions, International Politics, Economics
Since a lot of us are going to start taking AP classes next year (or already have this year)… Speaking of APs! What AP exams are you guys thinking about self-studying for, if any?
^ For me, below are the exams I want to self study for! Hopefully by senior year I’ll have 8 exams with scores of 4s or 5s because I’m aiming for the AP National Scholar thing or whatever it’s called.
Sophomore Year: AP Psychology (I’m really interested in it!), AP Chinese (I’ve lived in China long enough haha so hopefully I’ll score a 5)
Junior Year: AP English Language (everyone at my school is expected to take it except there isn’t a course for it), AP Environmental Science (I actually really like this subject)
Senior Year: AP European History (if I’ve got the time, if I don’t get senioritis)
I feel like I have my entire high school career mapped out–it could be a good thing or a bad thing, I guess. I don’t have to stress too much about course selection and everything now, but I kind of also enjoy unexpected stuff popping up from time to time. Soooo… ¯_(ツ)_/¯¯
