<p>Next year, I am dual enrolling at my community college and I will be waking 4 classes each semester. Like usual college classes, each class meets twice a week for about 1-2 1/2 hours and I don't have class Fridays. I know they are college classes but I felt like I had too much free time and want to achieve more. So I've decided to take an advantage of this online school program in my area. Through this program, I can take up to 3 courses of my choice online, many of them being Honors and AP classes. I wanted to take on AP Psychology, AP Art History, and continue my education in Chinese by taking Chinese II (Regular). I know people say that taking AP online is suicidal but I'll be buying some AP guides for Psychology and Art History, so I can self-study while learning the subject. I also have the determination to complete these classes because I find them interesting.</p>

<p>With all that, that adds up to be 7 classes (for each semester). To add on, I am also going to be in Dance classes (2hrs/week on Thurs.), have a weekend job (Fri-Sun), and going to be a tutor for my school district (Time and date depends on the student; the program usually work around my time).</p>

<p>Optional Info: I want to major in Sequential Art in College and probably minor in Computer Programming or in a foreign language. I also love to study abroad.</p>

<p>This looks like it will be pretty stressful, but I’m sure it’s possible. Don’t worry so much about the online AP’s, I took one last year. Obviously, it’s harder to keep up because you have to be self-motivated and don’t have as much teacher support (pretty much had to teach myself how to write the essays for ap world), but it’s not too bad. I think I got at least a 3 on the test, but hoping for 4/5.</p>
