<p>-Senior English Electives (school doesn’t offer AP Lit, so will be self-studying)
-Calculus II/III at local community college (school won’t allow me to take BC after AB… it’s got a bunch of odd rules). I was going to do AP Stats, but then looked at the actual material, remembered my bad experience with it back in Pre-Calc Honors, and thought twice lol
-AP Physics C. I’m actually immensely enjoying Physics Honors now that I’ve gotten used to the material, and find it to be infinitely more interesting than Bio or Chem.
-AP European History
-AP Spanish Literature Independent Study (I took Spanish V Lit, the highest level of Spanish, at my school this year, but it doesn’t prepare us specifically for the AP exam, although we have read some of the required texts)</p>
<p>I don’t know what to do with my senior schedule. My original plan was to take:
AP English Lit (12)
Health/ Economics(Graduation Req)
Intro to Engineering and Design H
Aerospace Engineering H
Engineering Design and Development H
AP Calc BC
AP Physics B
Symphonic Band or AP Computer Science
Intro to Chemistry or the equivalent at my Community College.
But my school has a partnership with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin so there’s a high probability of me securing an internship. If I went that route, my schedule is liable to look like:
AP English Lit
Econ and Health
Engineering Design and Development
Introduction to Engineering Design
Aerospace Engineering
Internship credit for remaining slots
Intro to Physics, Calc II and III, and Chemistry at my local CC.
I don’t know if an amazing internship is worth disrupting my QPA and lessening my chance of a traditional senior experience.</p>
<p>^ I’m not sure about that. Judging by his/her reply to one of my threads, as well as from the January SAT thread that we were all on top of after the test (lol), I didn’t get that sense at all. He/she also seems to be a pretty bright and motivated person (I think he/she once mentioned that he/she was a tri-season varsity athlete). Or maybe I just haven’t been reading the right posts… who knows? :P</p>
<p>I have no idea what his/her gender is (hence all the annoying slashes in the above paragraph), but I’m inclined to believe he/she’s a guy.</p>
<p>AP Calculus
AP English Lit
AP Physics
Honors Hawaiian 4
Honors Economics
Competitive Math
Beginning Orchestra</p>
<p>Economics and orchestra will fulfill graduation requirements. This schedule lets me have a total of 4 years in non-elective math, English, science, and language.</p>
<p>I’m going to prom, but it’s not high on my list for 3 reasons:
Finding a dress will be tough, since I’ll “RUIN PROM BY HAVING A DRESS THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS WEARING OMG NOOOO”
It’s during Memorial Day Weekend. I’ve gone to the beach every single year since I’ve been born, and I don’t want this year to be the first year that I don’t go. I LOVE the beach.
3, the most important reason of all: Finding a DATE. I don’t want to be labeled as a loser if I don’t have a date. But I don’t want to ask a guy friend and make things really awkward between us. At the same time, I don’t want to pay 250 dollars to be set up with someone who I might not like at all.
So I get it, it’s high school, it’s the most important night ever, it’s the end of the world if I don’t go, blah blah blah. But still, it won’t be as much fun if there’s all this hassle associated with it.</p>
