<p>So its not really bad at all…altho I am sure my summer and winter intersessions will be hell classroom hours wise…</p>
<p>Laguna: If it wasn’t for me…we wouldn’t even have those 2 points when we lost 12-2…lol</p>
<p>burgler: oh precalc is mandatory for calc and well college algebra…i am only taking it for amatyc :D</p>
<p>charizard: actually I like math hw better…at least the right answers guarantee me an A…english is way too subjective for my comfort esp since I can’t afford to have a single B if I want to be competitive for the likes of top 25 schools…(Haas’s AVERAGE is 3.91)</p>
<p>the difficulty of english depends on the nature of the assignment. if it asks u to write on something really pathetically boring like scarlet letter, or some poem, it can be hell. but if it asks u to write a research or a creative or argumentative piece, i find it as an opportunity to show off ur brilliance. i think i went too far in being the genius in my last english class that my teacher recommended me to submit it to a honors conference to be published ina university.</p>
<p>math is so boring. it’s like counting the tiles on a bathroom wall or sitting in a corner staring blindly into space.</p>
<p>You gotta add in time to drive to/from school. Time for lunch and dinner(mon/weds). Time for a couple of breaks. Time for clubs. Time to study(unless your teachers just happen to be so nice as to not give you any homework or a ciriculum that involves self-studying material). Without ECs, there’s a good shot that you’ll make it. Add in club hours inbetween your breaks… its going to be tough but I honestly don’t know you so I can’t say that you can’t do it… But… It aint going to be pretty…</p>
<p>I really hope your parents are backing you financially because with $3.00/gallon gas prices and hefty $6.00 fastfood bills. You’re going to need a good sized weekly expense budget(higher than the average student). Unless you work but i don’t see a 4.0 with that workload and a part-time job.</p>
<p>In our positions, its not always feasible to pack our own lunch because of the time it takes to prepare a decent meal(i like grilled chicken sandwiches and onion tatter tots for lunch, 30 minute preparation).</p>

<p>I’m just playing devil’s avocate because a bunch of Ws are going to hurt your transcript being that you’re probably a really bright and goal oriented student. My recommendation is to play the percentages. That kind of schedule and that kind of transcript is going to be on less than 1% of the students entering as a CCC transfer. You’re no longer competiting against kids from all over the country and all over the world. CCC students receive priority. Kick back a little, take the 15-17 unit heavy honors courseload(get a 4.0), do your internships, and participate in your clubs. You’ll still get in to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>What are you talking about sauron? Math is insanely inspiring! I do Japanese homework in math class, check out the pretty girls in front of me and daydream for an hour and a half. I always leave math class with a broader perspect of the world, just like I would after finishing watching “The New World.”</p>
<p>i just realized we totally digressed from original question…</p>
<p>hmm so does anyone think privates will reject me due to the amount of units i have?</p>
<p>JP: usually i hang out at honors center everyday till 4:30-5…doing like absolutely nothing…lol. In fact, I haven’t touched my book once during the first three weeks of school. I always pick the ‘nicer’ teachers on ratemyprofessor so i guess that explains why the classes are so lenient thus far into the semester…</p>
<p>i am sincerely grateful for your advice but i feel our college is just too laid back. laguna goes to the same place as i do and he always tell me how easy my schedule is…and it really is…so far into the semester i have had around 4 hw and 2 open book quizzes…and thats about it…</p>
<p>and from your post, i can tell you are a really meticulous and organized person…to be honest, i have never thought about all those things. i guess i am fortunate enough that my parents allot me an unrestricted budget for personal expenses so despite majoring in finance, i don have a single clue on the value of money through a personal aspect…</p>
<p>And if you have any doubt, we can try again on tues :P</p>
<p>edit: alright, my friend here agreed to the challenge. we will have a singles match on tuesday and the winner gets 100. warren, prepare to pay up!</p>
<p>I don’t like math, I just feel its an easy A…at least for me that is. English is too subjective for my liking (and too risky, I don’t want to put my 4.0 in the hands of a teacher who can grade either way on my essays). I know many potential 4.0 students who got owned by their 1a or 1c teachers…</p>
<p>Has anyone here played the touhou series? Those games are alot of fun to play, but you have to play them in Japanese. I recently hooked my pc up to the tv so I can play the games when I don’t feel like studying.</p>
<p>Touhou is a really fun series. To relive your stress, you should try playing it after your you finish hearing a lecture from your counselor that derides you for your laziness.</p>
