<p>even though i’m taking 4 APs as a senior, it’s literally been the easiest year i’ve had in high school. junior year was pretty bad. i took the same number of aps but i also had spanish and honors pre calc (which gives ap credit at my school). and strangely enough, i think my soph year and fresh year were also harder even though i only 2 aps and 0 ap classes respectively. but then again my grades are so much worse this year. i had never gotten a B before this year, but i got 2 last semester… and that was my best case scenario; i could have wound up with a C and like all Bs haha. this semester i literally have a B in every class. i basically haven’t been doing any work at all since the year started though, so that’s my excuse; i don’t exactly study for tests and i don’t do my homework (at home)</p>
<p>“would you actually enjoy all those APs? Don’t take a class because it has AP in front of it”</p>
<p>I like all of the core classes I’m taking right now. Math is easy (but I’m in precalc, so I’m not sure.) Chemistry is a breeze, for sure, but AP is supposed to be mega killer. Physics is supposed to be fun, but I have no experience in it. It’s just an indepth class. As for English, I’m fond of the narrative style of writing, which is what we’ll be doing.</p>
<p>So yes, I expect I’ll enjoy the classes. I’m worried about overloading myself, that’s all.
Anything on manageability?</p>

<p>Took BC last year, but the admins at my school are being noobs and not letting me independent study/long-distance multivariable calc (we don’t offer it here). Blerhghghgh. We’re operating on a six periods + lunch school day. Neither the benefits of block scheduling nor the class variety of a seven period day. Woooo my school district!</p>
