<p>I just started an introductory college level physics class for the summer. I wanted to take it to free up my schedule for my senior year of high school, and I need it before I graduate since I am going into the medical field. I could take it next year, but I’m not to strong in math, and I don’t want it to bring down my GPA, plus I am also going to take pre-cal (I want to maintain a 4.0 or higher, as I have been doing for my whole junior year) Since I go to a private highschool, I’m officially on summer vacation. But this class just crushes it! It’s only supposed to be 5 people (only 2 besides me showed up today for the first class) and its in a dark, windowless basement along with uncomfortable desks covered in vulgar grafitti and an old fashion chalky blackboard. The professor is in his 80s. The class is at NIGHT, Monday-Thursday 5:45-8:15 PLUS two nights out of those 5:45-9:30 for LAB. This routine would be until the end of JULY! I feel like it is truly destroying my summer already. I’m very busy with other things as well! (volunteering, science program across the country, preparing for my drivers licenses, SAT prep course, summer academic reading, and more) I can only quit tommorow, since it is the last day to get the full refund. Days remaining in there will decrease percentage of the refund, so my parents will only accept the full deal. Should I get out while I still can? I do not like the subject, but perhaps I can deal with it better during the SCHOOL semester. Is it worth quitting the pain now if it may lower my GPA and take up lots of time and energy during the school year?</p>
<p>Ok so first off… why do you need a physics course to begin with? premed and physics…? unless you’re aiming for Caltech or MIT or something similar…</p>
<p>Second off is this a community college? or is it just a camp…? If you get credits, stick with it. I know it seems hard but seriuosly, that’s not that much class. If you think your summer is dying, well then you can weigh the importance of one summer vs. colleges…</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don’t think it’ll be easier during the school year. You’ll have a lot more classes and work, along applications. That’s going to be crazy and hectic.</p>
<p>I need it for the MCATS. I’m going to have to take it in college also. It is at a college, but if I take it at school, I was going to drop marine science (uneeded) and I’d still have 2 free periods.</p>
<p>If you are so worried about your GPA, classes, etc… why are you paying for a summer course and hating it… AND having 2 free periods… my opinion is suck it up and take the class or drop a free period and take it then…</p>
<p>Decided to stick with it… ehh at the end of july i will feel very proud of myself I think. even if i get a c</p>
