<p>I knew I didn’t have an avid interest in it because I looked at the summer assignment requirements.
LOL. I’m kidding. Sort of. </p>
<p>Truth be told, the AP Human Geo teacher is good; I had her this year for World History Honors, but from how she described the class, I became certain I wasn’t intrigued by it. I hear DREADFUL things about the AP Euro teacher. Everyone loves the AP Gov teacher which is why I have an interest in taking it, but I simply don’t have room next year. (Those are the only classes sophomores are permitted to take; freshmen can only take AP Human Geo).</p>
<p>I began to plan my entire high school schedule pretty early, and since I get excited at the idea of many opportunities, there were many classes I wanted to fit in. While I could have taken AP Gov next year (since I plan to take it anyways), I really want to to be on the newspaper staff for the rest of high school, and take a higher Spanish class as well as take at least ONE Creative Writing class (since it’s pretty relevant to me as an unpublished author—querying sucks), there simply wasn’t room. I have my future schedules all filled up and while everything’s subject to change, I don’t think waiting till junior year is that detrimental, especially when I’m not reaching for any Ivy Leagues (or true equivalents) here.</p>
<p>I think my plate will be pretty full next year anyway. I definitely don’t think my schedule is that of a slacker’s since I’m taking all honors core classes, foreign language, Newspaper (which is a huge commitment and will be an invaluable experience) and then a class that’s relevant to me. Creative Writing apparently has excessive amounts of homework though…pretty sure I’ll survive in one piece, but I’ve heard it isn’t as easy of a class as it should be.</p>
<p>Ugh. Now you’re making me question myself.</p>
