Hello all,

I’ve miscalculated my work ethic/love for sleep this junior year by taking, out of 7 possible classes, 6 Honors/AP’s with a study hall and let’s say that didn’t fare too well… I had basically no A’s and even a C+, it was just too much work for me. I’m only posting this in the WUSTL forum because it’s my dream school and I feel like you guys would give good advice, even if I don’t belong here. :(

So after this “horrific” year I’m taking it more easy.

I speak English and Hebrew fluently so that’s two languages. I took Spanish 3 Honors and I hate it, I hate the language and the teacher, and I found out I have the same teacher for Spanish 4!!! So I’m dropping Spanish.

The question is whether to take French 1 (I love french but I Hear first year high school language is pretty useless), or AP Gov and a study hall (AP Gov is one semester.) Government/politics is another one of my big interests and another AP is always good, but then I’d have no language senior year- is that ok? And I love french I really want to learn it, but Im really interested in gov too! AHH!

Anyways, my senior schedule would look like this:

French 1 OR Psychology/Team Sports
AP English
AP Gov/Study Hall OR Psychology/Team Sports
Astronomy/Drawing
AP Statistics
AP Economics
Interactive Graphics/Study Hall (probs another fun class)

I need a gym class, the interactive graphics class and the art class to graduate so we cant get rid of those and I’m very interested in astronomy and psychology. So French 1 or AP Gov?!?!

Thoughts? Too easy? Good balance after a super tough year?
Thanks!!
