I took my Japanese class at a local community college through a dual-enrollment program at my high school. It was Japanese 101, and thats the first class my major starts out on at Michigan State University. I got a B in it at my local CC with little to no effort and absolutely no studying just because I grasped the concepts very easily. With effort and studying I could easily get an A at MSU. I could test out of it on August 24 but I doubt I will, as I want to start again from the beginning, nail down the fundamentals, and take it serious this time, and have a guaranteed A class.

The reason I am taking a lower math, is because you have to take a math placement exam to test into a certain level of math at my college. The thing is I took the test at 11:50 something about 5-10 minutes the night before the deadline and thus I had to rush through it, if it looked like it took too long I just clicked C, and I also hadn’t taken math in a year because I couldn’t fit it into my senior schedule and thus I couldn’t remember a lot of the trig and up problems.

I think it would be beneficial to my sanity and my gpa to take the lower Japanese and Math class because I will already have my hands full with bio and chem. My math has deteriorated but not really to the inter. algebra level. I could test up but probably not to calc, seeing as I never took calc in high school and went only up to pre-calc.

And how could I do bio later? This is how my schedule seems like its goin to look as I see it now concerning my premed courses. Doesn’t my schedule need to be something like this so that I can finish my premed courses and take the MCAT on time(and also fit in some more math so I can do calculus). And I consider graduating in 4 years graduating on time.

Freshman year-1 year bio, chem, math,sem english
Sophomore year-1 year orgo and math, sem physics,sem english
Junior Year-sem physics, maybe another sem of bio,chem, or math
Senior Year- some science or english

And I will probably wait for Jap club, and just start off with Kendo and premed club.
