Junior and Senior Schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>A'ight, here's my plan for next year (I'm a sophomore right now...):</p>

<p>APUSH
AP Comp
AP Bio
Pre-Calc
Physics I
Choir (Vocal Jazz)
Spanish IV
Study Hall</p>

<p>Does this sound good? I've heard of some people doing 4 or 5 APs junior year, but I work too slowly/procrastinate too much and don't think it's possible for me, honestly. I mean, I got an A in AP Euro this year, but it was my only one, so yeah.</p>

<p>As a senior, I want to take AP Psych and probably AP Eng. Lit...I was thinking of trying to self-study something our school doesn't offer, like either Stats or Human Geo, but I don't think I'd have time. I'll also probably be pressured by someone or other into taking AP Calc AB (school doesn't offer BC) and AP Chem as well, maybe even either Gov or Econ. And I just don't think I can handle more than 4 at all, especially come AP Test week. I mean, seriously, I took the AP Euro exam, my first ever, and am hoping desperately to pass by the skin of my teeth. And that's 1 AP. 5? I'd be at the funny farm in no time, lol. </p>

<p>And I also have no ECs besides choir and Spanish Club...FML. I'm anti-social, can't help it! Ah, well, maybe I should try to drag my butt into track or something. I'll need my exercise to keep a healthy mind, anyways. Laziness always just adds to the blurriness of my mind, which I'm realizing now after not having actually done anything besides light jogging/dancing/yoga for a few months! But I digress...I love creative writing, though. Maybe I could try to do something with that? And volunteer work...Gah, I hate how forcing it is apt to make students do it only for the credentials, not out of the joy of helping people. (Honestly, though, what if I don't feel like ladeling out slop for people because I've been desensitized to sad situations through the media to the point where it's not within my mental capacity to comprehend how terrible their lives are? Does that make me a bad person? Yeah, probably. Karma will hit me with my school bus tomorrow.)</p>

<p>So, advice, loves?</p>

<p>Maybe with your study hall you could enroll in a PSEO class and get free college classes while you are still in highschool, thats what i am doing and if i pass i will already have 3 college freshmen classes done already.
my schedule:
1 college psychology/Sociology
2 trig/pre calc
3college criminal justice/shakespeare(not a college course)
4lunch
5/6 spanishIII
7Government
8 studyhall/composition
9 Band</p>

<p>To the OP, I think your schedule is fine… you just need to focus on what you do outside of school. Personal my schedule keeps changing, but is closer to biogirl007. I wouldn’t worry about the people who take so many AP classes, because a lot of them don’t end up doing that well. I took AP Physics B and AP Calculus BC sophomore year, and have fallen on my face. For Junior year, I’m planning to take:</p>

<p>AP Macroeconomics (Online)
AP Microeconomics (Online)
Biology Honors
CHM 151: General Chemistry I (AP Chemistry)
CHM 152: General Chemistry II (AP Chemistry)
Civics and Economics Honors (Summer Online)
Earth/Environmental Science Honors (Summer, Online, will take AP exam)
ENG 111: Expository Writing (AP English Language, Online)
ENG 113: Literature-based Research (AP English Lit, Online)
English III Honors (Summer, Online)
MAT 272: Calculus II (AP Calculus BC retake, hybrid)
PHI 240: Introduction to Ethics (Online)
POL 120: American Government (AP Government and Politics, Online)</p>

<p>Needless to say, this year is going to suck.</p>

<p>Yea, you seem fine. It’s good to know your limits, and as long as you are able to handle your workload and do fine, then good for you. If you find yourself wanting an even bigger challenge, just move up a level to an AP class in the beginning of the year. </p>

<p>My schedule for next year:
AP Chem
APUSH
AP English Lang
AP Java
Adv. Pre-Cal
Adv. Physics
Adv. Latin 3</p>

<p>I’m am very much dreading this, but oh well, at least there are classes I like.</p>
