That would be a hellish schedule for anyone lmao
lol JK! Only 2 APs!
You may wanna reconsider gym, I hear it’s harder than any AP in sophomore year lol.
Speaking of gym, do you guys take the pacer/beep test?
@neophite, we used to in middle school.
@neophite prolonged screaming Every Monday. That’s why I’m so glad I don’t have school today; my cough hasn’t gotten completely better yet, but I don’t have a note.
On another note, you guys are all so nice.
@IrrationalPepsi @awesomepolyglot we take it once a marking period. To get a 100% on it (for a grade) boys need to get over 91 (which usually only happens for 3 of us). I love running, so the pacer is my favorite running activity.
Haha we don’t, but we need to run the mile three or four times in the first marking period, and idk about third, bc the weather is still pretty horrible… And all the freshmen have health fourth marking period.
I am finished with PE for the rest of my high school experience, so aw yiss lol
@whimsicalwhims I just finished health… I would have rather spent an hour cleaning bathrooms instead of being in that wretched class with 90 year old teachers…
@IrrationalPepsi LUCKY nj requires 4 YEARS of P.E… although if you are a nationally ranked athelete you are exempt. My friend is a national swimmer, so she skips p.e
@neophite, we can skip PE if we do sports, but they do require a ‘Fall Sports’ or ‘Spring Sports’ class to take along with your sport. So, technically, you cannot skip physical activity.
We only need one year. Honestly Net Sports is so much fun and relaxing- this is coming from a person who hates most sports and working out. I like having it at the end of the day. That way my stress accumulated during the day goes away. I would take it again if it fit in my schedule, but it doesn’t so. . .
@neophite, yes I know, it sucks that we have to take 4 years of PE, but in our school, we also have a swimming unit, which is fine, because I am a swimmer, but then it’s a pain to shower and change, and etc, all in the middle of the school day. And I’m just happy I don’t have to run in the fourth marking period lol
@Giovuhnni YOU. ARE. SO. LUCKY.
@whimsicalwhims no swimming unit here! That’s a weird unit to have in a school… I can only imagine how mistreated a pool would be in my school.
@Giovuhnni if by net sports you mean like soccer, basketball, etc. then I totally agree. That is what gym class is SUPPOSED to be, not the “calculating resting heart rate” and dance units (nothing wrong with dance, but how many times can you do the cot nye joe before it gets old?) that schools throw in the mix.
@neophite it is quite weird, no other school I know has it either lol. Also, we had a dance unit in 8th grade, where our teacher taught us the salsa. So awkward. All the boys hands (and I’m sure a fair number of the girls’ too) were really clammy and we had to dance with partners so it was not at all ideal lol.
I need to meet with my guidance counselor about taking AP Calc next year, but I am super nervous lol
We are off again tomorrow…wow
woah… time for someone to move up to the “class of 2018” thread lol @IrrationalPepsi
@whimsicalwhims haha thank god I didn’t have to do that, I limit my dancing to in the kitchen and bathroom
Uh no. Net sports are sports that have a net in the middle: tennis, volleyball, pickle ball, ping pong, badminton.
The only one I didn’t like was ping pong. I loved the other ones.
I am in a pickle:
I have a great Algebra II teacher, and we know each other really well. She also teaches AP Calc AB, and this is where the problem is. Next year I have the choice of Precalculus (restricts you to AB) or intro to calc BC (can choose AB or BC) so I am choosing intro to calc BC. I will be able to stay close to her for a year during sophomore year. However, in junior year, I have to choose between AB or BC. BC is preferred for straight med programs, but AB means I can get a great rec from this teacher. My school offers multivariable calc for seniors, so I can always take that to appease the straight med programs. What should I do? Go for rigor or a valuable rec?
P.S- I didn’t see your latest post @IrrationalPepsi, my comment was directed toward you taking calc
I could graduate in three years, but that would be way too fast for me. o.o
Class o’ 2019 FTW!
@Giovuhnni Ping pong is my best sport, man 
@neophite You can probably get a rec from her even while taking Calc BC. A sophomore teacher is pushing it a little, but probably would work fine for a rec- especially if you’re applying Junior year, with only a couple semesters between you.
