<p>I think I'm going to be busy next year. I'm kind of scared.
I'm taking 5 honors classes next year (which is the max for sophomores at my school)
Im doing Model UN (requires research, etc), INTERACT, Band, Student Ambassador (gives lots of tours), newspaper, amnesty, lots of comm service, and a weekend job.
Eh, it could be worse i guess. Junior year will be just super. :D</p>

<p>Anyway...will u guys be unusually busy next year, my schedule probably doesnt even compare to most of yours.</p>

<p>Not too busy. My school hours will be cut, since I took most of the classes already. I should have 5 or less periods. Then i'll get a job, apply to college in the fall and the rest of the year should be easy. :)</p>

<p>Sophmore year was the hardest for me, this year was pretty easy.</p>

<p>haha I'm only going into eighth grade...</p>

<p>I'll be really busy next year, especially in the fall. I'll have soccer at least two days a week, cross country every day, swimming every day, and tennis... I don't know how often that will be. </p>

<p>In the winter, I might have some tennis. I'll have swimming for school and swim club as well.</p>

<p>In the spring, I'll have track, swimming, and tennis.</p>

<p>Plus.. on top of that.. I have prep school applications, interviews, tours, etc. to go to.</p>

<p>and you have school work i assume lol?</p>

<p>Ahh. First semester I'm taking classes at Princeton, which disrupts my entire afternoon schedule. I'll have my morning classes until 10:50 like everyone else at my school. Then I have lectures at Princeton every single day during my lunch period. Then, also for my Princeton courses, twice a week I'll have lab for three hours and once a week I'll have chem class, and I'll have to fit lunch in there somewhere. Almost every day I DON'T have my three-hour lab I'll have to go to back to school to work on my independent study course or help a teacher as a lab aide. Also, I'll have weekly club meetings on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and I'll tutor for a couple hours in the evening, probably on Wednesdays. Oh wait, from September until November I'll have to go to debate competitions every Thursday until 5 or 6 in the evening. I still won't be able to rest on Saturdays if I get into Columbia's SHP, cause I'll have to get up at like 8 AM to go to NYC and come back around 1. And I might get a job, but only once a week, probably Friday or Saturday afternoons... all that plus college apps and visits. I don't know when I'll fit in homework and sleep.</p>

<p>Yeah...you're pretty much gonna die of exhaustion there.</p>

<p>Sophomore year is a joke in work compared to Junior or Senior year.</p>

<p>I am bit scared on work load since I know I won't find my AP classes hard but I may be annoyed by all the work.</p>

<p>I am taking 5 APs and 3 Honors next year. =)</p>

<p>Well first of all, you only can take 6-7 classes at my school. We get studies too.</p>

<p>We can only have 7 but I overrode that with counselor appointments and parents so that I could have an extra one to boost GPA. ;)</p>

<p>I will be there from 8-4pm. :)</p>

10

<p>Is your GPA lacking? otherwise why do you need to do that?</p>

11

<p>what teachers ever agree to teach an extra class?</p>

12

<p>ima be so busy ima wish for more than 24 hours in a day......</p>

<ul>
<li>10th grade
Probably about five AP blocks (four APs), one honour, two regular classes.
Also, I'm doing an independent study of AP Procrastination and IB Lazyness, they will require a lot of hands-on experience and labs.</li>
</ul>

<p>I'm going into high school, so I don't know what to expect. I've heard freshman year is a breeze, so that's good. Anyways, I'm taking 5 honors (english, humanities, algebra II, biology, and french), orchestra (which I'm trying to audit), and pe (which might turn into a year of Human Geography AP). I'm also going to tutor (still looking into this) and find some other EC's I can do in my spare time. Maybe I'll get a part-time job; I doubt this though because of my age.</p>

<p>I'm trying to decide if you really mean that, or if you're just trying to scare me :p</p>

17

<p>I did a lot of adjusting freshman year to studying and what not. I did good but not amazing (rank: 10/350)</p>

18

<p>10, not bad.
At least it's top ten. Top eleven just doesn't sound the same ;)</p>

19

<p>Serendipity, i took a lot of the classes last year that ur taking this year - algebra 2, bio, french...grrr i hated bio...</p>

20

<p>LOL... now I'm scared. I've heard from my science teacher and some of my friends that biology is supposed to be harder than chemistry and physics (at the honors level... opposite way around at the AP level). Yeah, so a little worried :p</p>
