<p>well the main reason for this thread was to see if people would think i would be able to have a life mainly because of my schedule
0 hour Medical Career Science
1 hour AP English 11
3 hour AP American/AZ History
4 hour Pre-Calculus
5 hour AP Biology
6 hour Honors Chemistry
+ VICA Organization
+ SkillsUSA
+ 500 hours of volunteer hours by my senior year (right now im in 10 grade)
+summer school for extra credits</p>
<p>Does this sound crazy for 11 grade well im willing to a LEAST dedicate 12 to 14 hour to school every day think I will be able to have a normal life?</p>
<p>if you can handle it, you can have a life too. i mean, who says you can't be friends with poeple? you're doing all this extracurricular stuff 2, right? well, i'm sure if you you're personable (is that a real word?) which i assume you are, you'll still have time for friends. all that studying'll pay off. really. you won't regret it.</p>
<p>im kind of scarred of all the work involved but im still willing to put up with all of those classes the only problem now is what college to go to next after high school</p>
<p>ohh by the way i didnt ask my friend what she thought of "me" i dont think it will change anything and i have accepted that me and her are not going to be together</p>
<p>It won't be too bad. I took the following my junior year:
AP Language and Comp
AP Environmental Science
AP World
Honors Physics
Honors Trig w/ Advanced Alg
College level Pre-Calc(taken at local college after school from 7-10pm twice a week)
Photography
Lab Assistant(which requires afterschool research)</p>
<p>PLUS I had a job, was president/vice of a few clubs, and played sports... it can be done.</p>
<p>oh no!! i'm sorry!! :( well, remember that guy i kinda lost over the summer?? well, i kinda talked to him, and we're a little closer...i guess things can't change overnight...i'll have to be patient...anyway, it's really hard to move on and stuff. is there any way i can help you?? have you made any new friends?</p>
<p>hope u have luck with him and are able to become as close (or even closer) with him in the near future. and i made some new "friends" along the way :)</p>
<p>oh, i'm glad to hear that! i hope things go well! :) anyway, things are going pretty slow for me, so ya....well, i think it's good for me to get to know more guys than just him...</p>
<p>well its good to get to know more people but its better to know someone that you have already know. Do u think it will last if you get close to him?</p>
<p>if i was able to get at least as close to him as i did last year, yeah, our relationship could really last. but, i'm not sure how to get closer to him in the first place. :confused:</p>
<p>I dont think your schedual will be as bad as it looks. I thought i would be overwhelmed by my schedual but honestly the classes were not that bad. And the ap corses seem to take things at a slower pace because i have them all year round. so yes i believe you will have a chance to have a social life but not as much as other people</p>
<p>Welcome to my life!
I have one hell of a Monday... school from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM (except this semester it's probably going to end at 7:30! an hour and a half?! wow... that's free time if I ever had any!).
It's not that bad really. Your friends do tend to be the ones in your EC's or classes... but it's better that way because you see them all the time.
Besides, apathy sucks. Why sit around when you can be at school or music or field hockey?</p>
<p>As a senior, I wish I hadn't spent junior year in total agony, but some people have to flay themselves on crosses to feel special. So I say, go ahead!</p>
<p>Looking back, I should have done normal 16-year old stuff (date), but whatever. Either way, good luck.</p>
<p>I know a kid who's currently a freshman at Dartmouth. His senior year, he took 7 high school courses (our standard day is 6) and Italian at the University of Kansas. He was also literally in every club at his school, was president of Students Against Smoking, and had a billion other school-related EC's. He also found time to party EVERY weekend and many weekdays, and actually spent a majority of his high school career (including school days, EC events, ACT tests, etc) drunk. He was on the homecoming court at his school and virtually everyone I know has at least met him once.</p>
<p>I wouldn't suggest partying the way he did (though it is almost legendary around here), but as you can see he had a more active social life than a lot of other people with far easier schedules. The reason he could do that was mostly because he's extremely smart, but also because he could manage his time well and he got things done without wasting time reflecting or talking about how much he has to do or pracrastinating. He also apparently never slept.</p>
<p>MY suggestion would be to only take AP classes in subjects you're genuinely interested in. If you really love all those subjects you're taking, then so be it. But a lot of kids are only taking these extreme schedules because they feel obligated to, and that's never going to make you happy.</p>
<p>whoa, your schedule is EXACTLY like mine except for my Pre-Calc class is honors. But everything else, the same. I have about 350 hours of Community service. I also dance, intern, and do Model UN after school on weekdays. But yes, I definitely have a life. I go out with my friends at least two nights (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) of every weekend and have still maintained an 4.0 UW. The only issue, I believe, is time management, and if you have that down, you will be FINE.</p>
