<p>AP biology? Whaa? Lol you make me feel inadequate. </p>
<p>Oh, and welcome, I guess. ¯(ºдಠ)/¯</p>
<p>Haha yeah, there’s this biology competition and I REALLY want to do well XD (Biology Major, I hope!)
And I’m sure you’re doing great, too! </p>
<p>Nice to meet you and everyone else!</p>
<p>Your schedule is great, MathGuy! Personally, if it were me I wouldn’t take 3 APs freshman year, but if you think you can handle it, I say go for it! I give it a 10 :)</p>
<p>Thanks, kimm1234! Are you also a freshman in high school?
Sorry if I’m sounding kind of pretentious about my schedule 
Besides, there are people at my school who do even more XD</p>
<p>Ahh summer, the one time where you can be a nerd and study your butt off for next year’s APs…</p>
<p>Yup, I’ll be starting high school in August. And don’t worry about it, I applaud you for challenging yourself like that!</p>
<p>Starting today, I’ll be reviewing/teaching myself Algebra I and Spanish I to prepare for freshman year. Definitely not as hard as APs, but my school is dumb and won’t let summer classes/self-studying count as actual credit until after sophomore year. -_- So all I can do is prepare myself in the hopes of impressing my teachers and getting good grades, lol.</p>
<p>Same deal with me! You have to have a certain amount of credits before summer courses count. I would still like to self study an AP over the summer just to get myself familiar with the coursework. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>mdsquared, I think I heard somewhere that AP Psychology is pretty easy.</p>
<p>Dayummm.
And AP Psychology was a ton of work at my school.</p>
<p>Jonnathan, do you have any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Ah, I guess it depends on the school, then. I thought I saw a thread around here for easy APs.</p>

<p>This is kind of off topic but, when is the final national spelling bee? :D</p>
<p>It was last night! A girl named Snigdha won.</p>
<p>Have you guys begun preparing for next school year? (bought clothes, started summer reading list, supplies, utensils?)</p>
<p>I bought To Kill a Mockingbird months ago because I knew I had to read it for Honors English, but I haven’t started it yet. I have a book buying problem - I have literally 25 books that I’ve bought but still have to read. I also started the first few pages of my summer algebra homework.</p>
<p>As far as supplies, I haven’t bought much besides some stuff for my locker - a dry erase board, magnetic pads of paper, etc.</p>
<p>Oh I loved To Kill a Mockingbird!!! It is wicked complicated though. Tons of plot lines all related and interviewing, also a lot of commentary on current events. Loved it. You have summer homework? Not fun.
I haven’t had a locker since 5th grade and I never really used it. In my current school we have open faced cubbies. They sound childish, but they’re twice the size of a locker.
I’ll be a day student so I haven’t bought anything for next year. I don’t know what I’m going to use in my locker next year, but apparently some students barely use theirs at all…</p>
<p>I’ve never had a locker before. I have no idea how to use a lock or the combinations or anything, so that ought to be fun…</p>
<p>We have lockers in my middle school.</p>
<p>I’ve started mentally preparing for next year, but not really physically doing so. I only have to read two books this summer, which is a lot less then I’ve had in the past. I’m not even bothering to review math considering I’m essentially retaking a class the first few months.</p>
<p>The lockers at my new school are HUGE (I can fit in them). I cannot wait to actually have room to put my stuff.</p>
<p>Yeah, the lockers at my high school are pretty big too. My middle school had a pretty good math program, so next year I’ll pretty much be reviewing everything I learned last year. I don’t know if I should be disappointed because I won’t really be learning anything new, or happy because I can catch a break in at least one of my classes.</p>
<p>I’ve bought my summer reading books, but we only have to read 2, weirdly. My school is connected to the high school so it won’t be that hard of a transition in terms of lockers and hallways, because I also had a locker in middle school.
@kimm1234 This was my first year using a combination lock and stuff, it was super annoying at the beginning, but you’ll get used to it in a couple of weeks! 
But make sure to grab everything you need before class, because I was late a bunch of times since I still wasn’t used to opening my locker. Good luck!!</p>
